IBM announced a pair of additions to its storage portfolio designed to improve the access to and management of data across hybrid-cloud environments and offer faster, higher capacity.

HCI software provides virtualized compute, storage, networking and management from a single platform running on servers. Like public cloud infrastructure, HCI software is software-defined and API-driven, and can be managed using the same techniques to manage public clouds.
