Frequently Asked Questions
Software-defined infrastructure is our approach to layering intelligent software across physical infrastructure, enabling automation, centralized management and rapid provisioning. By decoupling hardware from control functions, we help clients achieve leaner operations and faster response to business demands—delivering a truly experience-centric, agile foundation for transformation.
Our deployment methodology is designed to minimize disruption and maximize value. We guide clients through migration, integration and ongoing management, leveraging frameworks like NXTGenOps powered by DRYiCE autonomics. This ensures smooth and reliable operations, as well as continuous optimization, for your software-defined data center.
A software-defined data center (SDDC) uses software to manage compute, storage and networking resources, making them programmable and easily scalable. Our expertise helps clients transition to SDDCs for greater flexibility, automation and resilience, ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with evolving business requirements.
Our planning phase starts with a detailed assessment, followed by the creation of a tailored blueprint. We define deployment steps, integration points and scalability options, ensuring your software-defined infrastructure services are strategically aligned and ready to deliver measurable business outcomes.
We have invested over $15 million in SDI capabilities, established a dedicated innovation lab and built a Centre of Excellence. These investments enable us to drive innovation, support client adoption and deliver industry-leading software-defined infrastructure services with proven expertise and resources.
We begin with a thorough evaluation of your existing infrastructure, processes and skillsets. Drawing on our deep industry experience, we identify gaps and growth opportunities, then map recommendations directly to your business strategy.
