Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)

Combine storage, computing and networking into a single system in an effort to reduce data center complexity and increase scalability.

The Need for Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)

Digital transformation is key to business success, and with it comes the need to support big data, artificial intelligence, and the hybrid cloud while also meeting the fast-growing demands of traditional workloads. Current IT infrastructure weighs data centers down with sluggish arrays of hard-to-manage components, preventing them from keeping up with the quick-turnaround demands of business and the cloud.

HCI converges the entire datacenter stack, including compute, storage, networking, and virtualization. Complex and expensive legacy infrastructure is replaced by a platform running on turnkey, industry-standard servers that enable enterprises to start small and scale one node at a time. By centralizing resources and management, HCI lowers costs, reduces complexity, and alleviates staff burdens while raising performance.

Benefits of Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Lowers total cost of ownership

Integrating components into one platform reduces storage footprint, power use, maintenance costs, and total cost of ownership. Hyperconverged systems eliminate the need to overprovision to accommodate growth and help enable data centers to scale in small, easily managed steps.

Simplicity and agility

Hyperconverged systems can be deployed in a fraction of the time of traditional IT infrastructure. Plus, automation makes management simple, giving your staff and administrators more time to focus on strategic initiatives.

Performance

Hyperconvergence helps your organization deploy any workload and enjoy high levels of performance. Many organizations use hyperconverged solutions for the most intensive workloads, including enterprise apps and SQL Server.

Flexible scaling

Hyperconverged infrastructure scales easily. Additional resources can be added by simply connecting a new node to the cluster. Plus, with some hyperconverged systems you can scale, compute and store separately. New resources are automatically identified and integrated into the cluster.

Multi-cloud support

Hyperconvergence dramatically simplifies hybrid cloud environments and reduces the time and cost of transitioning to a hybrid cloud. It also makes it easy to move data and applications back and forth between on-premises servers and the public cloud.

Security and data protection

On-premises IT infrastructure is more secure than other options. Security is baked into hyperconverged systems, with features including self-encrypting drives and tools that provide high levels of visibility. Backup and disaster recovery are also built in.
