What benefits hyperconvergence can deliver to businesses?

Hyperconvergence, which coalesces storage, computing and networking into a single system, is an IT framework lessening data center complexity and augmenting scalability. As managing a data center infrastructure has been a challenge, hyperconverged infrastructure has emerged as the solution. The major objective of this infrastructure has been to abridge the data center management by recasting it as transportation systems for software and transactions, despite networks of processors with storage devices and memory caches.

Hyperconverged infrastructure mainly integrates common data center hardware using locally attached storage resources with intelligent software. This creates flexible building blocks that replace legacy infrastructure involving separate servers, storage networks, and storage arrays.

Hyperconverged Vs. Converged Infrastructure

Both converged and hyperconverged infrastructure refers to the data center management and storage capability intending to eliminate the pain-points associated with traditional infrastructure. They are quite dissimilar as converged infrastructure relies on hardware and employs building blocks, while hyperconverged is software-defined. Converged infrastructure combines legacy infrastructure components like compute, networking, and virtualization onto a turnkey appliance. Hyperconverged, on the other side, leverages intelligent software to merge x86-based server and storage resources into a 100% software-defined solution. It significantly replaces the components of legacy infrastructure, such as separate servers, storage networks, and storage arrays, with one unified system, creating a highly scalable data center.
