By 2023, 70 percent of enterprises will be running some form of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), up from <30 percent in 2019.

The increase in HCI adoption is being driven by employee and end user demand for Real Time Information via instant responsiveness between business units and applications. HCI fulfils this need and helps switch IT investments from keeping the lights on to developing profitable new business solutions.

In a crowded market, you’re spoilt for choice – five different HCI vendors currently enjoy Gartner Magic Quadrant ‘leader’ status. With many comparisons focusing on technology rather than business outcomes, deciding who to work with is a challenge.

To help you navigate the options, Tech Data have put together three key considerations:
1. Independence: Do you have to buy the whole stack?
2. Compatibility: Will it work with existing infrastructure investments?
3. Reliability: Does it help you free up time and resource?
