A Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) is a software-based approach to data centre architecture that combines storage, computing, and networking in a single system. It cuts out the need for looming mainframes and complex data centres that are neither efficient nor scalable.
Due to the accelerated pace of digital transformation experienced by the world thus far, it was necessary to put aside the more traditional approaches to data centre architecture. Especially today, as cloud and hybrid storage methods have become increasingly popular.
The HCI is what you can call the latest in data architecture evolution. It is the next advancement after non-converged and converged infrastructures, bringing businesses the scalability and simplicity they’ve requested. But even HCIs have their own set of drawbacks. An HCI may vary from one solution provider to another, bringing different benefits depending on the aspects they have chosen to focus on.
AI and HCI are not terms commonly associated with one another but in this highly innovative age, HPE has taken the initiative to create the next generation of HCI. HCI 2.0 leverages the power of Artificial Intelligence and machine-learning to remedy some of the prior problems encountered with HCI 1.0.
It is a simple, intelligent platform that scales compute and storage independently, ensuring that none of your resources goes to waste. Alongside that, HPE HCI 2.0 offers better resiliency, a lower total cost of ownership and comes with built-in intelligence to help you aggregate workloads effectively.
What about harnessing architecture that’s ideal for the edge?
The next generation of HCI is suitable for just that.
In this collection of articles, we explain how HPE SimpliVity with HPE InfoSight can benefit your businesses by being an HCI 2.0 solution. Don’t worry, we’ll guide you through this HCI conversation with a look into the next generation of HCI, how it enables hybrid cloud usage and some compelling use-cases as proof of its effectiveness. Whether you’re a total newbie or a pro, you can learn more about HPE’s new data architecture solution in the next few pages of this e-book.
