MultiCloud & Hyper Convergence

The growing demands of enterprise applications and the fast pace of modern business threaten to put legacy IT design — with separate storage, storage networks and servers — at risk of failure.

The silos created by traditional datacenter infrastructure often present barriers to change and progress, adding complexity to every step from ordering to deployment to management.

 

Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) Simplifies Datacenter Operations

Hyperconverged infrastructure streamlines the deployment, management and scaling of datacenter resources by combining x86-based server and storage resources with intelligent software in a turnkey software-defined solution. Separate servers, storage networks and storage arrays can be replaced with a single hyperconverged infrastructure solution to create an agile datacenter that easily scales with your business.

The Components of Hyperconverged Infrastructure

Most HCI solutions consist of two fundamental components:

A Distributed Data Plane

  • that runs across a cluster of nodes delivering storage, virtualization and networking services for guest applications – either VMs or container-based applications.

A Management Plane

  • that allows for the easy administration of all HCI resources from a single view, and eliminates the need for separate management solutions for servers, storage networks, storage and virtualization. .
