Success with Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Bolster Efficiency to Drive Business Support

Demands on enterprise networks are increasing, continually challenging organizations to find ways to “do more with less” while supporting the line of business. To streamline tasks for network admins and achieve network simplicity, businesses are looking to hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI).

With HCI, organizations have the option of running workloads more cost-effectively without accessing the cloud, while maintaining performance and security onsite. The result is simplified management of the environment with faster deployments and better IT resource utilization.

The Benefits of Hyperconvergence
  1. Quick deployment
  2. Data protection
  3. Workload mobility
  4. High availability
  5. Data efficiency
  6. Scalability and flexibility
     
Considerations in Evaluating an HCI Solution:
  • Does it support a single hypervisor, or can I run multiple hypervisors on the same platform if required?

  • What flexibility does it provide in terms of hardware modules?

  • Does it support commodity hardware, or must hardware be purchased from the HCI vendor?

  • Does it offer storage capacity only to services running in the HCI environment, or is the storage accessible to other data center services?
