Implementing Hyperconverged Systems: Turnkey vs. Software-Based Approaches
Implementing hyperconverged systems involves integrating two primary components: hardware and software. The hardware consists of servers and the networking infrastructure that connects them. The software comprises the hypervisor, which creates a cluster, and the storage software, which provides data and…
Can HCI Replace a SAN?
IT leaders explore hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and its potential to replace SAN and NAS. However, current HCI solutions disappoint with high costs, sub-par performance, and limited scalability. An Ultraconverged Infrastructure (UCI) like VergeOS emerges as a viable solution, offering lower costs, superior performance, and advanced data resiliency with global inline deduplication. UCI delivers on the HCI promise to decrease cost and complexity.
Can HCI Deliver?
Can HCI overcome the challenges mid-sized data centers face? Discover how an ultraconverged infrastructure solution can address HCI’s limitations, reduce costs, and simplify IT operations.
VMware Storage Challenges
VMware storage challenges are the limiting factor in how thoroughly organizations adopt it. Both AFA and HCI continue to fall short in addressing VMware storage problems. Learn what these challenges are and how to fix them.
Scale-Out HCI is not Enough
Scale-out is the primary focus of most hyperconverged infrastructures (HCI), but scale-out HCI is not enough to deliver a more cost-effective and easier-to-operate data center. HCI vendors claim to offer scale-out by adding nodes to increase computing power, networking bandwidth,…
Lightboard Video: 5 Essential Storage Needs for Global 1000 Cloud Deployments
As the large enterprises look to the cloud to deliver agility and remove complexity and cost, data requirements and storage infrastructure often stands right in the way of achieving organizational goals. To get storage out of the way so IT…

Integrating On-Premises SDN with Cloud VPC
One of the best examples of software defined networking (SDN) in action is in the cloud. When organizations use compute and storage resources from Amazon, Google and Microsoft clouds they don’t get to go into those data centers and configure…
