3.  An IT framework in which computing, storage and networking are combined into a single
system is referred to as hyperconvergence. It aims at increasing scalability and reducing
complexity with regard to the functioning of a data center. Hyperconvergence ensures
convenient consumption by making use of multiple nodes that have been clustered for the
purpose of creating reservoirs of shared compute and storage resources.
 A hypervisor is included in hyperconverged platforms to ensure virtualized networking,
virtualized computing and software-defined storage.
 With regard to data center modernization, hyperconvergence is able to deliver public cloud
infrastructure’s agility without forsaking control over on-premises hardware.

4.  A hypervisor refers to a computer software, hardware or firmware that serves to create and
run virtual machines. The system on which one or multiple virtual machines are run by a
hypervisor is called a host machine. Each virtual machine is known as a guest machine.
 A hypervisor provides a virtual operating platform to the guest operating systems and manages
its guest operating systems’ execution.

5.  A unified, software-defined system which integrates any traditional data center’s elements
(compute, storage, networking, management etc.) is known as a hyperconverged infrastructure.
Such an integrated solution makes use of x86 servers and software for the purpose of replacing
purpose-built hardware that is expensive.

Whoa!That’s a big number, aren’t
you proud?

7.  A package of software that is preconfigured, and hardware, is made available in a single system
in converged infrastructure for the purpose of rendering management simpler. The storage,
compute and networking components in a converged infrastructure are discrete. Hence, these
can be separated.
 In a hyperconverged infrastructure, its components cannot be separated. It entails virtual
implementation of software-defined elements that can be integrated seamlessly into the
hypervisor environment. Hyperconvergence not only enables more abstraction along with
enhanced levels of automation but also helps businesses with their capacity expansion by
deploying additional modules.

Difference between Converged Infrastructure and
Hyperconverged Infrastructure

8. There are many benefits that can be reaped by making a shift from legacy infrastructure to
hyperconverged infrastructure.The main benefits that inspire this switch are as follows-
 Lower Costs
 Ease of use and flexibility
 Greater scalability
 Resource efficiency
 Enhanced and consistent performance
 Increased productivity and efficiency of IT teams
 Maximum ROI with regard to the infrastructure
 Reduction in data centers’ footprint

Benefits of Using Hyperconverged Infrastructure

9.  The benefits of hyperconverged infrastructure are mainly used by virtual servers and virtual
desktops; SMEs and remote offices; containers and Kubernetes; analytics, machine learning and
AI and for backup and disaster recovery.These will be discussed in the next few slides.

Key Users of Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)

10.  The integration and ease of management provided by a hyperconverged infrastructure ensure
that it is widely used by virtual servers and virtual desktops.
 To digress, servers are used by web hosting companies as well, for the purpose of storing files
of websites in order to deliver those files over the Internet for making the websites accessible.
Different terms are used for the most reliable web hosting providers, such as the “Best Cloud
Hosting Company”, the “Best Windows Shared Hosting Company”, the “Best Linux Dedicated
Server Hosting Company” etc.

Key Users:Virtual Servers

11.  With the aid of hyperconverged infrastructure organizations can improve the management of
their remote offices. SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) are less bothered about the
performance issues that affect HCI hardware. Hence, SMEs usually overlook it and opt for
hyperconverged infrastructure because of its ease of use.

Key Users: SMEs and Remote Offices

12.  Containers are best suited to utilize the benefits of HCI. This is especially true for data centers.
Containers do not require a hypervisor. Hence, these can function directly with the hardware
and the underlying OS (operating system).

Key Users: Containers and Kubernetes

13.  Hyperconverged infrastructure can be deployed quickly and scaled easily by adding nodes. This
renders it extremely suitable for analytics, machine learning and AI.

14.  HCI is majorly used for backup as it is capable of supporting backup as well as disaster
recovery. For this purpose, a second hyper-converged system is used to ensure data duplication.
