SlideShare: How Software-Defined Networking Can Simplify Scale-Out HCI

Hyperconverged Infrastructures (HCI) offer management simplicity and provisioning agility to data centers undergoing digital transformation. When applications need more compute or storage resources, IT can “simply add a node” to an existing HCI cluster. But as the HCI environment scales out, complexity increases and network resources become a significant architectural consideration, often with significant unexpected costs that can blow your HCI budget.

There are three problem areas that IT professionals either considering or expanding HCI need to overcome:

  • The time required to network in a new node
  • The network costs as node count increases
  • Troubleshooting a large shared-everything infrastructure

Join us for this on demand webinar where we address those three problems
