    HCLTECH + NETAPP: HYBRID CLOUD STORAGE DEAL

    HCLTech just expanded its NetApp partnership to deliver hybrid cloud storage-as-a-service. The combo: HCLTech's Utility for Everything framework + NetApp Keystone (pay-as-you-go storage). Result: enterprises get on-demand scaling for AI workloads and data services without upfront capex.

    This is consumption-based infrastructure—exactly what GCCs are building toward. We track 1,800+ GCCs scaling similar hybrid setups. The play here: flexible storage + data management = faster AI deployment cycles for clients.

    📌 For GCC technologists: partnerships like this signal where client infrastructure is moving. Hybrid cloud + consumption models are now table stakes.

    Which GCC client segment benefits most from this model—fintech, manufacturing, or retail?
