Kyndryl Distributed Cloud for Microsoft Azure Stack hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) with Azure Arc is the centerpiece of Kyndryl’s distributed cloud portfolio. The offering, created in partnership with Microsoft, Dell, and Lenovo, leverages Dell and Lenovo integrated systems for Azure Stack HCI. The solution is designed to help businesses transform on-premises data centers, remote- and branch-office locations, and edge workloads through fully managed distributed cloud services, high-performance operations, and full-stack life cycle management.
Networking and edge expertise are essential to distributed cloud, and here too, Kyndryl offers a range of expertise, consulting services, and technologies. By provisioning software-defined and 5G-enabled edge services, Kyndryl builds a “core-to-edge” foundation, covering end user device integration, cloud-based application delivery, high-performance security options, and innovative network services. The result is simplifying today’s complex IT environments. The network is pivotal across any transformation conversations, the edge and the network are the key enablers for innovation and digitalization, and the edge helps in achieving greater organizational agility by bringing decision-making closer to the source of data generation.
We are building best-in-class digital distribution platforms to provide flexibility and ease of work for customers’ workforce and end users to meet their growing business demands.
