Cloud Native Application Development is about increasing agility and enablement of organizations to rapidly respond to business demands. Hyperconverged infrastructures appliances (HCIA) tightly integrate compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources on a hardware platform support by a single vendor. Now you can extend the benefits of hyperconverged infrastructure to applications and workloads that start small, even if you do not know how fast and large they will grow.

You know you need to be less reactive and find an IT infrastructure solution that gets your organization to the next level. The lack of a simple, repeatable, infrastructure lifecycle can inhibit your organization’s ability to innovate and respond to market demands. Today's consumers of IT resources often run advanced application suites and require access to those applications anytime, from anywhere, on any device. When your IT infrastructure impedes your ability to mobilize and adapt to new ways of doing business, it often means you cannot meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs), or new business initiatives have to wait.

Achieving state-of-theart application development and delivery lies at the heart of this transformation and accelerates your time-to-market! These changes and disruptive technologies are forcing companies to evolve how they develop and bring products to Market. They seek standardized ways to plug in leading data services and perform deep user analytics on top of massive datasets to drive rapid iteration based on customer needs. Developers increasingly work in agile teams and demand a platform that allows them to continuously deliver updates and to horizontally scale their applications with no downtime. The digital transformation is powering a deep shift in platforms and processes aimed at driving continuous delivery of software.
