The transition from VMware requires careful consideration of deduplication and storage options. All-Flash Arrays (AFAs) excel in performance but are costly, while vSAN faces latency issues due to its complex architecture. Integrated ultraconverged systems like VergeOS eliminate trade-offs, improving efficiency and reducing costs by unifying deduplication with core hypervisor functions.
Explore how combining SAN replacement and VMware exit projects can reduce costs, simplify operations, and future-proof your IT
If you noticed VergeIO’s most recent press release, they reported their performance results (1 Million + IOPS) based on 64K block-sized tests—breaking away from the more common but less realistic 4K block-sized tests. This shift offers a better representation of…
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.
Increasingly, organizations are looking to hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) to simplify their on-premises architectures to make them more cloud-like. Obvious considerations for IT professionals looking to move to HCI are Cisco HyperFlex, Dell EMC, Nutanix, and VMware HCI. This writeup is…
Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions start innocently enough. The organization starts with two or three nodes and initially it handles all their compute, and storage needs quite well. As the environment scales because of the growth of the initial workloads or…
Hyperconverged Infrastructures (HCI) promise affordability and simplicity because they are created with commodity servers which are clustered together. These servers are called nodes and the infrastructure expands by adding additional nodes to the cluster. Additional nodes though, mean making space…
Dell Technologies World Hyperconverged Infrastructure Briefing Note Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) is quickly spreading across core and edge data center environments. As it moves beyond the point use cases like virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) hosting, greater solution flexibility is needed because…
A hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) is made up of servers, storage media, storage software as well as networking software and hardware. Of these components, the servers are often the most overlooked. The assumption is that a server is a server. In…
VMware on AWS has been available for over a year, yet there are several missing elements. There are a lack of available data protection solutions and there is a lack of a truly enterprise class storage solution. The primary challenge…
