Dynamic responses to business needs

Simplify and accelerate your IT transformation with integrated storage, compute, and networking. By eliminating traditional IT silos, Converged Infrastructure (CI) and Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) lay the groundwork for a more agile, responsive, and energized IT architecture that the business can ride into the next era.

Converge on a modern advantage

Most businesses want to simplify, modernize, and ultimately transform IT. Converged solutions help IT leaders deliver these kinds of operational improvements, making them massively useful and increasingly popular.

However, there are differences between CI and HCI, and more granular dissimilarities across vendor offerings, that are critical to understand. We work with you to illuminate key attributes and identify best-fit solutions.

Features and benefits:

Converged infrastructure:

Leverages preconfigured hardware
Uses validated designs and architecture
Reduces footprint and improves utilization
Decreases capital spending
Can be coupled with flash storage

Hyperconverged infrastructure:

Is software-defined
Offers common interface management
Increases resiliency and availability
Scales from several nodes to large clusters
Deduplicates and compresses inline

Explore instances where HCI can help address real-world challenges.
