Digital transformation is not just about bringing one mobile application or one service to market — it’s about rethinking your IT architecture and operating models. But you don’t have to “start big” to get there.

DXC Technology’s Modern Platform enables you to “start small and think big” wherever you are on your digital journey. Whether you are assessing your current “classic” state to stabilize your existing applications on a more robust infrastructure platform or working to modernize your applications to make them cloud ready, DXC offers a variety of scalable solutions, powered by Dell EMC, that can build and transform your data center into a state-of-the-art, high-performance environment.

Accelerate your capabilities with the Modern Platform

To stay competitive, you need to have an agile IT infrastructure that will continue to support the critical applications that run your business today, as well as the new applications and workloads that will drive your business of tomorrow. While

existing systems and older applications are necessary to continue operations, they need to be easily repurposed and scalable up or down according to real-time business needs.

This is where the Modern Platform with converged and hyperconverged systems using Dell EMC’s best-in-class technology comes into play. Scalable pre-engineered systems with compute, storage and network resources are quickly deployed and ready to use. So instead of using resources to build and sustain infrastructure, investments and operations staff can shift to deliver innovations and improved services to your market faster.

Technical elements of the Modern Platform

Our Modern Platform with Dell EMC has four elements:

Hyperconverged infrastructure brings together compute, storage and networking as generic blocks of computing capability that allow workloads to be scaled up or down.

DXC Technology and Dell EMC at a glanceDXC Technology and Dell EMC leverage their global expertise in shaping, managing and transforming next-generation IT infrastructures to deliver new Modern Platform solutions that will enable your digital transformation journey at a pace that makes sense for your business.

• DXC and Dell EMC engineered x86 hyperconverged infrastructure featuring either VMware or Microsoft virtualization software

• Flexible consumption options — such as scalable compute units — with SLAs, low risk and low TCO

• Minimum cost to start using elements that are small and scalable — can easily move from hundreds of VMs to several thousand on the same architecture

• Underpinning platform for other DXC offerings such as MyWorkStyle, Analytics and Big Data Platform, and Cloud

A DXC Technology and Dell EMC engineered solution

The entire certified Modern Platform rack and stack is built in a Dell EMC facility according to your defined configuration and can be delivered in as little as 45 business days.

Driving results with the Modern Platform

Customers that choose DXC’s Modern Platform to transform their organizations can expect to reap the benefits of increased agility compared with legacy organizations. According to a recent ESG Insights study,1 transformed organizations completed three times as many IT projects ahead of schedule and are more likely to report excellent progress in:

• Automating IT processes (more than four times as likely)

• Running their IT as a profit center (nearly seven times as likely)

• Leveraging IT resources to speed product innovation and time to market (nearly six times as likely)

With faster delivery and reduced variability, the Modern Platform will help you evolve in small increments to spread the cost over time, respond to changes in the market and enable your digital transformation journey.

Joint work by DXC and Dell EMC means we design, assemble, test and support the platform together. Customers can plug it in, add it to the network, turn the power on and begin managing the environment the same day.

A low barrier to entry makes Modern Platform the right entry point for many organizations. DXC’s Modern Platform offering supports as few as 100 virtual machines. Platform scaling integrated with virtualization makes growth easier than ever, providing the ability to start small and think big.

Value-driven architecture allows businesses to spin applications and test environments up and down easily with industry-standard levels of control and security. All of this can be done at a much lower cost than a traditional licensing model.

Modern Platform can be delivered:

• As a foundation for other offerings such as MyWorkStyle, and Analytics and Big Data Platform

• As a standalone solution for new workloads, technology refreshes and virtualization
