HCI/single-layer architecture: A hyperconverged infrastructure model, where compute and storage reside within the same server, creates a single-layer architecture and offers TCO savings while allowing you to modernize your data center with greater efficiency.

Two-layer model: A traditional two-layer model provides efficient parallelism and no single points of failure. Additionally, storage and compute nodes remain separate operationally, giving teams the flexibility to manage each infrastructure independently.

Either option fits within your existing infrastructure and provides massive scalability with linear performance gains and enterprise‑grade, no‑compromise resilience.
