Hyperconvergence is more than just merging enterprise storage and compute in a single solution. It’s tightly integrating software and infrastructure into a central, efficient platform. It’s seamlessly managing, allocating, and scaling resource pools across multiple compute and storage devices, without taking a deep dive into the underlying architecture of your data center. When you combine everything below the hypervisor into a simple, software-defined platform, you get the agility and economics of cloud with the enterprise capabilities of on-prem infrastructure — and the more layers you collapse, the more costs you save.

HCI’s dedupe and compression capabilities enable you to store more VMs, while data protection and replication get users back up and running faster with persistent desktops.
With a distributed model that replicates data across multiple nodes, HCI’s built-in redundancy minimizes the impact of a lost node on your operations and simplifies disaster recovery.
Multiple sites running disparate platforms equals a genuine hassle for IT. A common hyperconverged infrastructure brings order to administration, support, deployment, and data protection.

To support a business technology agenda, infrastructure and operations (I&O) professionals must factor critical aspects of their own environments into their decisions and understand how these requirements affect implicit and explicit weighting as they evaluate hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) offerings. This report covers the major variations in workloads and data services that can make an impact on your selection and outlines a methodology for evaluating the true cost of these solutions.
Metrics that matter when evaluating hyperconverged infrastructure
An emerging data center architectural option, dubbed hyperconverged infrastructure, is a new way to reduce your costs and better align enterprise IT with business needs. At its most basic, hyperconverged infrastructure is the conglomeration of the servers and storage devices that comprise the data center. These systems are wrapped in comprehensive and easy-to-use management tools designed to help shield the administrator from much of the underlying architectural complexity.
