Old School Data Centers vs HyperConvergence Infrastructure

August 5, 2019 / GuidesFor Team

There was a time when mainframes were computers big as commercial sized refrigerators. When external storage devices entered the scene, they had their own box; the same went for networking hardware. All of those coupled with power systems and monitoring devices looked like huge machines. Modern hardware is small, much smaller. It is now possible to install many different machines in the same rack space having computing, storage, and networking capabilities. This article is confusing at first, considering networking needs to be integrated to define HCI. It explains how HCI can modernize data center operations (almost) overnight.

Hyperconvergence: It’s time to turn your infrastructure up to 11

25% of IT pros are already adopting hyperconverged infrastructures, and 54% plan to adopt one in the near future. Check-out this infographic to find out why. If you've been considering a hyperconverged infrastructure, this infographic will show you industry trends, detailed stats, and key benefits—all in an easy-and-quick-to-read format!

Global Hyper-Convergence: The Only Way Forward

For government agencies, the need for hyper-converged solutions is clear: Traditional IT architectures are becoming increasingly untenable, given budget constraints, the rapid increase in dynamic technologies, and the performance issues that arise when integrating new web-scale technologies with traditional IT architectures. Read this white paper to find out why hyperconverence is the only way forward.

Hyper-Converged Infrastructure For Dummies

Hyper-converged infrastructure evolves how compute, storage, and management are delivered and provisioned to help you cut operational and capital costs, increase information technology (IT) and business agility, and improve application performance. How do you get there? The first step is to immerse yourself in the concepts of this new approach to the data center. That’s what this book is about.

Which statement best describes how hyperconvergence has solved the challenges in virtualized data centers:

Its focus on software provides the flexibility required to meet current and future business needs while using commodity x86 hardware.
A centralized systems and management provides quick response and easy automation when necessary.
Scalability ensures maximum efficiency and lower costs because the company gets what it needs and can add more nodes as required.
Many kinds of applications can be deployed in a single shared resource while maintaining data integrity, protection and security.
