All-in-One Solution
All-in-one appliance solution
The SigX HCI Appliance combines compute, storage, networking and virtualization into a single factory-validated system — sized for your workload and supported end to end by one team.
Pre-integrated. Ready to deploy.
Building a private cloud should not mean sourcing servers, storage, networking and software separately — then hoping the components work together. The appliance arrives as one engineered, pre-validated system with sizing already done.
- SigX HCI software integrated with Dell PowerEdge R760 hardware
- No separate SAN, server and hypervisor procurement cycles
- Three ready-to-deploy sizing tiers with consistent platform architecture
- Minimum three-node cluster — scale online without disruptive forklift upgrades
- Local delivery, deployment and ongoing support through SigTone in Hong Kong
Why an appliance approach
Legacy three-tier
- ×Separate server, SAN and hypervisor procurement
- ×Multi-vendor integration and finger-pointing
- ×Complex sizing for every project
- ×Rising licensing and maintenance costs
SigX HCI appliance
- ✓Factory-built and pre-validated stack
- ✓Software-defined storage — no external array
- ✓Three sizing tiers with consistent platform
- ✓Single team for deployment and support
Sizing
Three sizes. No sizing exercise.
Ready-to-deploy models for common workload profiles. Need something specific? Custom appliance configurations can be scoped during discovery.

Architecture
Unified architecture — hardware and software defined
From physical nodes to virtualised workloads, SigX HCI delivers private cloud capability through four integrated layers on a single platform.
Converged compute and storage — no external SAN requiredThree-node minimum cluster with non-disruptive online expansionSingle management plane for infrastructure and workloadsEnd-to-end delivery and support through SigTone in Hong Kong
01. Application & workload layer
Run production VMs, containers, VDI, databases and backup/DR workloads on a unified HCI platform.
- Virtual machines and containerised services
- VDI and virtual desktop delivery
- Structured and unstructured data workloads
- Backup, disaster recovery and ransomware resilience
02. Virtualisation & orchestration layer
Manage VMs and containers from a single control plane with flexible hypervisor options.
- SigX native hypervisor or VMware support
- Kubernetes container services
- Unified management console
- Migration paths for existing virtualisation estates
03. Hyperconverged data plane
Software-defined storage replaces external SAN arrays — scaling linearly with each node added.
- SigX ZBS distributed storage
- Intelligent caching and tiering
- Replication and erasure coding protection
- Performance QoS without external storage licensing
04. Physical infrastructure layer
Factory-built Dell appliances designed for rack, branch and edge deployment patterns.
- Dell PowerEdge R760 validated nodes
- BOSS system drives and redundant power
- 25G / 10G network connectivity
- Three-node minimum cluster — rack, branch or edge ready
