What is Hyperconverged Infrastructure?

When compared to traditional architecture, Hyperconverged Infrastructure merges data centre hardware to part of a single platform where storage, compute management and networking are combined.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) vendors promise simplified operation and the ability to expand capacity quickly and easily by deploying and launching additional mod­ules; simplicity has been the key selling point for the HCI pioneers.

How Does Hyperconverged Infrastructure Work?

A hyper-converged infrastructure uses servers as building blocks for scaling out systems. It allows several integrated technologies to be managed in a single system. Different systems will need a different amount of hardware nodes, usually the minimum is three.

When did Hyperconverged Technology Begin?

Hyper-converged Technology began in 2009. Engineers began to realise that the technology they had developed to solve their own task challenges were applicable to a much bigger market.

How does Hyper-converged Infrastructure help with IT efficiency?

Hyper-converged Infrastructure helps with IT efficiency as it makes a streamline system in which upgrading software and hardware is simplified. It eliminates the need to yo-yo between systems. With an automated infrastructure and data storage and protection functionalities, it’s a safe and secure system.

What is the difference between Converged and Hyperconverged?

The main difference between converged and hyperconverged infrastructure is that converged infrastructure relies on hardware and employs building blocks. Where hyperconverged infrastructure is software based and more flexible. Although, they both have unique benefits.

Is Hyperconverged Infrastructure Technology scalable?

Yes, Hyperconverged scales better than a traditional infrastructure. It allows you to scale out or in the meet the specification of the application at hand.

Benefits of Creative ITC Hyperconverged Infrastructure Solutions

  • Fast Deployment – Slashes the time it takes to deploy new IT services
  • Data Protection – Data deduplication and data protection features are often built in, so disaster recovery is much easier
  • Performance and Resilience – Bringing together storage, compute, and networking into one solution
  • Flexibility – Rather than creating complex update a business can simply add another node to the environment
  • Automated – hyper-converged infrastructure works on the principles of centre SDDC where everything is virtualised, routine operations such as scheduling can be added easily.
