A hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is a software defined IT solution, redeploying elements such as storage & network to the cloud. Join the debate.

Today, we’re unpacking a two-word topic with the vast potential to transform, streamline, and simplify enterprise level IT operations. Listen in as Chris, Dean, and Mike explore the past, present, and future of hyperconverged infrastructure…

What are the benefits of hyperconverged infrastructure?

Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) offers multiple benefits over a traditional hardware-defined three-tier architecture. The virtualised layer abstracts and groups resources, expediting the allocation of data requests to apps running in virtual machines. 

A hyperconverged resource management approach results in:

• Efficient IT Processes

With HCI, a single outsourced team can monitor, maintain, and manage a company’s virtualised IT solution, eliminating the associated ongoing expenses linked to permanent on-site siloed expertise.

• Flexible Scalability

HCI significantly reduces a company’s on-premises IT requirement. Replace the CAPEX of a traditional three-tier structure with a flexible hyperconverged infrastructure that avoids both vendor lock-in & overprovisioning.

• Lowered Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

Vendors can pass on the reduced TCO of a hyperconverged infrastructure in many ways. For example, users stand to make savings across equipment, software, staffing, power & cooling costs, and IT housing costs.

• Single-Pane-of-Glass

By virtualising all mission critical elements of a company’s IT solution (e.g., storage, compute, networking), a hyperconverged infrastructure delivers single-pane-of-glass control features, allowing users to control multiple VMs from one centralised interface. 

• New Deployments & Time to Market 

HCI facilitates expedited app development & rollout times – all of which can be carried out by less experienced staff accessing online features with reduced physical on-site architecture.
