Hyper Converged Infrastructure

Combine compute, storage, and networking into a single, easy-to-manage system.

How Does Hyper converged Infrastructure Work?

 

A hyper converged platform has four tightly integrated software components: 

  • Storage virtualization
  • Compute virtualization
  • Networking virtualization
  • Advanced management, including automation 

 

Virtualization software abstracts and pools resources, then allocates them dynamically to applications in VMs or containers.

What Can You Do with HCI?

  • Build a private cloud

Deploy on-premises with lower costs, more control and better security. Choose from multiple hardware possibilities from our certified partners.

  • Extend to public cloud

Choose an as-a-service option from the largest HCI cloud ecosystem for faster speed of deployment and less time spent managing infrastructure.

  • Achieve true hybrid cloud 

Manage a mix of VM- and container-based applications deployed across a mix of data center, public cloud and edge environments with VMware hybrid cloud.

Advantages of Hyperconvergence Over Traditional, Three-tier Architecture

HCI transforms traditional IT operational models with simple, unified resource management, delivering three key benefits:

Increased IT Efficiency

Replace manual processes and siloed operational expertise with a converged IT team that can monitor and manage resources. HCI pools and allocates resources dynamically to improve capacity, performance and protection.

Better Storage at Lower Cost

Reduce your CAPEX with scalable architecture that requires only standard x86 servers—not expensive, purpose-built networking. HCI scales without disruption and overprovisioning, reducing infrastructure costs.

Greater Ability to Scale

Respond to rapidly changing business needs in real time-with HCI, you can set up hardware in hours and spin up workloads in minutes. Now you can accelerate business-critical applications like relational databases with HCI,  which scales to meet specific application needs-and future-proofs your IT environment.
