Data Infrastructure
Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI)
An infrastructure system with a software centric architecture that tightly integrates compute , storage, networking and virtualization resources in a commodity hardware box supported by a single vendor
A hyper-converged system allows the Integrated technologies to be managed as a single system through a common toolset.
Hyper-converged system
can be expended through the addition of nodes to the base unit. Common use cases include virtualized workloads.
