DXC Redefines the Private Cloud for Enterprise Control and AI Agility

ASHBURN, VA – July 01, 2026 – DXC Technology today announced the general availability of its DXC Private Cloud+ solution, a significant entry into the increasingly complex hybrid cloud market. The new offering, built on Dell Technologies infrastructure and operated by DXC's intelligent orchestration platform, OASIS, is engineered to provide enterprises with the agility and consumption-based pricing of a public cloud while preserving the stringent security, governance, and control of a private environment. The move directly targets a critical pain point for organizations in regulated and data-intensive industries, which must navigate digital transformation without compromising on compliance or data sovereignty.

The Hybrid Cloud Crossroads

For years, the enterprise IT narrative has been dominated by a “cloud-first” mantra, but a more nuanced “cloud-smart” strategy is now taking hold. Organizations recognize that while public clouds offer unparalleled scale and innovation, the realities of data gravity, regulatory requirements, and security concerns demand a more balanced approach. This has created a persistent tension between the desire for hyperscale agility and the non-negotiable need for control over sensitive workloads.

DXC aims to resolve this conflict with Private Cloud+. The solution is not merely a hardware stack placed in a data center; it is a fully managed service designed to deliver a public cloud-like experience within a private context. A key component of this strategy is its consumption-based economics, which allows organizations to shift from heavy upfront capital expenditures (CapEx) to a more flexible operational expenditure (OpEx) model. This aligns costs directly with usage, eliminating the financial burden of over-provisioning that has long plagued traditional on-premises infrastructure.

"Customers across industries from manufacturing to transportation, insurance and more want hyperscale economics, flexibility, and AI-readiness in a true hybrid environment, one that works across what they already run and the public clouds they depend on. Until now, they've had to compromise," said Chris Drumgoole, President, Global Infrastructure Services at DXC. "Private Cloud+, powered by Dell and operated by DXC OASIS, ends that trade-off and enables them to be ready as AI workloads increase." By providing an evergreen platform, this approach also helps enterprises reduce technical debt, offloading the burden of hardware lifecycle management to DXC.

Fortifying the AI Frontier with Sovereign Control

The explosive growth of artificial intelligence presents a profound challenge for enterprises: AI models are voracious consumers of data, yet the most valuable and sensitive datasets often cannot leave the corporate firewall for public cloud processing. This has given rise to the concept of “private AI,” where model training and inference are performed within a secure, controlled perimeter. DXC Private Cloud+ is explicitly engineered to support this paradigm, offering a unified environment for traditional virtual machines, modern containers, and private AI workloads.

To address diverse security and compliance needs, the solution is offered in three distinct editions:

• Core: A multi-tenant private cloud providing the full feature set with consumption-based pricing, ideal for businesses seeking a balance of performance and cost efficiency.
• Dedicated: A single-tenant environment that provides complete isolation of compute and storage resources, catering to organizations with strict data sovereignty rules or high-performance requirements.
• Government: A hardened edition featuring advanced security controls and operated by cleared domestic personnel. This offering directly targets the growing global demand for sovereign cloud solutions, ensuring that sensitive public sector and national security data is managed within national borders by trusted staff.

"Enterprises are juggling sensitive workloads, modernization, and AI, all at once. Many are looking for infrastructure that handles it natively, without bolt-ons," noted Benjamin Greene, Director, Global Infrastructure Services, Private Cloud at DXC. "That's exactly what we built with Private Cloud+, with DXC OASIS removing the operational burden so customers can focus on innovation."

A 25-Year Partnership Forges a Modern Infrastructure Stack

The foundation of DXC Private Cloud+ is the deep, 25-year strategic partnership between DXC Technology and Dell Technologies. This long-standing collaboration is more than a simple vendor relationship; it represents a tight integration of engineering, sales, and support that underpins the entire offering. DXC’s status as a Dell Titanium Black partner—the highest tier in Dell’s program—signifies top-tier expertise and preferential access to Dell's technology, ensuring the solution is built on a robust and optimized hardware stack.

In this symbiotic relationship, Dell provides the enterprise-grade infrastructure backbone, including high-performance servers, scalable storage, and integrated cyber resilience solutions for data protection and recovery. DXC, in turn, provides the operational intelligence and management layer through its DXC OASIS platform. Described as a "Human+" approach, OASIS combines AI-driven automation for monitoring and management with the deep expertise of DXC’s technical staff. This fusion of machine intelligence and human oversight is designed to handle the immense complexity of modern IT estates, freeing clients from the day-to-day operational burden of managing infrastructure.

Navigating a Crowded but Differentiated Market

DXC Private Cloud+ enters a competitive landscape populated by formidable players, including hyperscaler offerings like AWS Outposts, Microsoft Azure Stack, and Google Anthos. However, DXC is positioning its solution not just on technology but on the managed outcome it delivers. While hyperscaler solutions provide powerful toolkits for extending their cloud services on-premises, they often still require significant in-house expertise to architect, manage, and operate.

In contrast, DXC is selling a fully managed service. The value proposition is centered on delivering a secure, compliant, and agile private cloud as a service, allowing customers to focus on their applications and business logic rather than infrastructure maintenance. This managed approach is a crucial differentiator for large enterprises, particularly those in regulated sectors like financial services, healthcare, and government, that may lack the specialized staff to run a complex hybrid environment at scale. The offering’s explicit focus on these industries, backed by specialized editions and deep compliance expertise, provides a clear go-to-market advantage over more generic solutions. As organizations continue to refine their hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, such integrated, fully managed solutions that promise to deliver both security and agility are poised to become a vital component of the modern enterprise IT landscape.
