Creating the data centre of the future with hyperconverged infrastructure

A seamless hybrid experience

Published June 2017

Regardless of infrastructure model, the IT organisation will expect cloud-like benefits; for example, pay-as-you-go capacity, the ability to scale as needed, and self-service capabilities. While such benefits are inherent in the hosted cloud, they are new to the on-premises data centre. To meet enterprise expectations, IT vendors are introducing solutions that tightly integrate compute, storage, networking, and services, often on purpose-built hardware.

These “hyper converged” solutions also typically overlay management and orchestration platforms that help to integrate various infrastructures, and create a seamless hybrid experience.
