Key benefits

  • The 3-Tier Platform for CI environments offers the following benefits:

    • Resiliency: The 3-Tier Platform architecture eliminates any single point of failure by incorporating platform redundancy in server high availability (HA) features, networking, and multipath storage.
    • Scalability: The 3-Tier Platform is configurable to meet your virtualized infrastructure needs. It enables you to choose from various configuration options, such as the number, model, and memory capacity of compute servers and the storage type and capacity.
    • Validated interoperability: The 3-Tier Platform hardware and software components have been tested and validated for HA and compatibility to ensure known quality in platform run-time.
