It wasn’t just the UCS X9508 Chassis that was designed with modularity in mind, so was the UCS X210c Compute…

Gartner projects that global spending on public cloud services will come in at $494.6 billion this year due to both growth in cloud-native infrastructure services and the trend towards hybrid work scenarios driven by the pandemic as well.

Because of the maturation of core cloud services, companies are past…
