Smart Data Centre
What is hyper-converged infrastructure?
Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) combines common datacenter hardware using locally attached storage resources with intelligent software to create flexible building blocks that replace legacy infrastructure consisting of separate servers, storage networks, and storage arrays. Benefits include lower TCO, increased performance, and greater productivity within IT teams.
What Can You Do with HCI?
- Build a private cloud: Deploy cloud-like infrastructure on-premises with lower costs, more control, and improved 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.
Benefits of hyperconverged infrastructure
The benefits of moving from complex legacy infrastructure to the simplicity of hyperconvergence are many, but among the top reasons organizations make the switch are lower costs, improved, consistent performance, a smaller datacenter footprint, greater efficiency and productivity in IT teams, and maximized infrastructure ROI.
Turnkey Infrastructure
Integrated server, storage, networking and virtualization resources along with end-to-end systems management and operations management capabilities.
Fast Deployment
Deploy infrastructure in minutes, so IT teams can elevate their focus to the applications and services powering the business.
100% Software-Driven
Supports a wide variety of different hardware platforms – including three of the four most popular server platforms in the world.
World-Class Platform
Each hyperconverged server (node), includes Intel-powered x86 hardware with flash-based SSDs and traditional HDDs, along with software-Defined Storages.
Superior Performance and Resilience
Hyper-hyperconverged software running on each node distributes all operating functions across the cluster.
Unprecedented Flexibility
A single cluster can have unlimited nodes, with node types having differing amounts of storage, CPU and memory resources, so you can run multiple workloads with maximum efficiency.
