Answer: B

Explanation:

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is an IT framework that combines storage, computing, and networking into a single system to reduce data center complexity and increase scalability. It can provide the flexibility and simplicity the customer is looking for in transitioning to a private cloud solution, making it an ideal fit for their current needs.

This approach aligns with their stated goals of increasing data center agility and adopting private cloud services, while also setting the stage for future expansions or shifts towards a hybrid IT environment. HCI solutions from HPE, like SimpliVity, provide a strong foundation for building and managing an enterprise private cloud.
