Cloud computing has prompted organizations to shift their processes to the cloud, but many Data Centers still have a physical presence. Some businesses are realizing that the cloud doesn’t fully meet their requirements and are returning to physical Data Centers. In such cases, Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) provides operational advantages. This post will delve into what HCI is and the benefits it offers to organizations like yours.
Overview of Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)
Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) integrates cloud-like operations into an on-premises or clustered appliance by combining compute, network, and storage systems within a compact 1U or 2U form factor. The appliance is equipped with CPU, memory, and disk, and runs an operating stack that includes Hypervisor(s), Software-defined storage, and management/orchestration layers to provide a self-contained cloud experience without the need for external vendors.
The mentioned modular blocks are utilized for replacing outdated and rigid legacy servers, arrays, and other devices. In summary, HCI provides a contemporary operating environment that offers the capability to:
- Efficiently provide infrastructure and applications to meet business needs
- Enhance and simplify the IT procurement process
- Enable a hybrid cloud model for seamless integration with public cloud providers
Advantages of Hyperconverged Infrastructure
- Simplify your design needs
- Seamlessly integrate with the cloud
- Enhance scalability
- Minimize physical footprint
- Decrease reliance on in-house IT teams
- Enhance disaster recovery capabilities
