What is Hyperconverged Infrastructure?
 Complexity Every Step of the Way
DEPLOY
Deployment takes weeks to
months -- complex, big footprint

SUPPORT
Multi-hop support,
lack of end-to-end
visibility, firefighting

BUY MANAGE
Purchase in big increments, Multiple management
incur prediction risk, panes, manual operations
overprovision

GROW
Difficult to
scale quickly

What is Hyperconverged Infrastructure?
Combine storage, compute, and networking into a single system with hyperconverged infrastructure
(HCI). This simplified solution uses software and x86 servers to replace expensive, purpose-built
hardware. With hyperconverged infrastructure, you’ll decrease data center complexity and increase
scalability.
