Hyper Converged Infrastructure
What it is today…
▪ Consisting of software-defined compute,
networking and storage
▪ Easier to manage; intuitive hypervisor-aware
storage
▪ Shared-core approach for low entry point
▪ Rapid response to the business via fewer
integration points
▪ Simple and rapid deployment and
management
▪ Pay-as-you-go expansion and economics
▪ One size fits all architecture

▪ One application or tenant can impact other applications
▪ Not suitable for performance sensitive apps
▪ Forces inefficient silos of Infrastructure

PERFORMANCE CAPACITY MEMORY CPU

The HCI tax: Overhead dedicated to operations
First-generation HCI solutions require compute and memory overhead to provide data services
▪ Storage Controller VM
▪ Memory 16-128GB RAM
▪ CPU 4 – 8 cores
▪ Direct path I/O required
▪ As high as 30% overhead
▪ Data Services
▪ Deduplication – Add memory
▪ Compression – Add memory
▪ Erasure coding – Add memory
▪ File services – Add memory

The HCI tax: Hidden costs
The shared core model forces customers to spend more than they should
▪ Shared cores require lockstep
increase of all resources
▪ Expanding compute or storage
generally requires expansion of
all resource pools, leading to
excess capacity and additional
costs
▪ Licensing per socket for many
products is affected
▪ Databases
▪ Backup and DR
▪ Various applications
