How you can use hyperconverged infrastructure

From data center consolidation to the edge, HCI brings the right capacity, performance, and protection to every workload.

Consolidation

Data center & mixed workloads

A smaller footprint, lower TCO, and an escape from endless update and refresh cycles.

Edge

Multi-site remote locations

Run a small data center in a compact, all-in-one system with enterprise features.

Performance

Business-critical applications

Faster, easier-to-manage apps with accelerated performance, high efficiency, and easy scaling.

VDI

Virtual desktop infrastructure

Ultra-fast provisioning and predictable performance, with more desktops on less hardware.

Containers

Cloud-native applications

The speed, simplicity, and insight modern microservices development demands.

HCI frequently asked questions

What is a hyperconverged infrastructure?

A hyperconverged infrastructure is an IT framework that combines storage, computing, and networking into a single system to reduce data center complexity and streamline operations.

How does a hyperconverged infrastructure work?

HCI virtualizes all elements of the traditional hardware stack — compute, storage, networking, and hypervisor — centrally managed by a single piece of software. These resources are pooled and dynamically balanced to deliver the right capacity, performance, and protection each virtual machine needs.

What are the benefits of a hyperconverged infrastructure?

HCI lets you manage complex infrastructure seamlessly, accelerate virtualized workloads, reduce complexity, improve operational efficiency, and lower total cost of ownership while future-proofing your IT. Hyperconverged infrastructure:

  • Enables centralized management of virtual environments via a single interface
  • Provides data protection, disaster recovery, and resiliency
  • Includes advanced data services for high data efficiency
  • Offers streamlined acquisition, deployment, support, and management

What is the difference between converged and hyperconverged infrastructure?

Both simplify the data center by integrating storage, compute, and networking. Converged solutions rely on discrete hardware components that can be separated and used for their intended purpose, while hyperconverged systems are software-defined and hardware-agnostic, with tightly integrated components that cannot be broken out. In a converged architecture storage attaches directly to physical servers; in HCI the storage controller runs as a service on each node, improving scalability and resilience.
