What is Converged Infrastructure?

Converged infrastructure lets organizations use their compute resources in more efficient and cost-effective ways, lower their IT management costs, and increase the speed of software and service deployment. Many see converged infrastructure as the first step in the evolution toward a service/software-defined infrastructure. It offers:

• Simpler management infrastructure: Centralizes server management, network, and storage to streamline day-to-day maintenance
• Scalable storage capacity: The common fabrics and protocols built into converged infrastructure make adding gigabytes much simpler and faster
  
• Faster provisioning: Reduces a three-week provisioning time to under an hour
  
• Faster IT response: Provides the agility to respond to marketplace changes and business priorities
  
• Easier path to cloud: Makes it easier to implement private or hybrid clouds
  
• Greater control: Enables simultaneous management of multiple functions and devices
  

HPE converged infrastructure solutions tie virtualization, automation, and unified infrastructure management software together into pre-built, tested, and workload-optimized systems. These systems are software-defined for easy integration into existing infrastructure and quick transition to hybrid cloud delivery models. With HPE converged infrastructure solutions, you can deploy pre-validated, factory-tested configurations in weeks instead of months and set up IT services in minutes, not hours.
