HCLTech and NetApp Expand Hybrid Cloud Storage Partnership

HCLTech and NetApp have expanded their partnership to offer hybrid cloud storage-as-a-service (STaaS), aiming to accelerate enterprise AI adoption. This new solution integrates HCLTech's U4X digital infrastructure framework with NetApp Keystone, providing a flexible, consumption-based model for scaling AI and data-driven workloads. The offering supports AI and GenAI applications alongside traditional enterprise systems, enabling organizations to manage infrastructure costs and align with evolving workload demands. It leverages HCLTech's AI Factory suite and NetApp's data management capabilities to move from AI pilots to enterprise-scale deployment, enhancing data readiness and governance. Consolidated revenues for HCLTech for the 12 months ending June 2026 totaled $14.8 billion.
