Nowadays, many organizations need faster and reliable storage performance than before. So Hyper-convergence Infrastructure provides a path to a secure, modern infrastructure and Hyper-convergence also is an IT framework that combines storage, computing and networking into a single system to reduce complexity of data centers and increase scalability. With multiple nodes, it can be clustered together to create a pool of shared computer and storage resources where it is designed for convenient consumption.

HCI collapses a three-tier network, storage and compute and fits it all into a commodity ‘tin’ with a software overlay. This simplifies the architecture of the environment.
2. Reduce complexity of data centers
-
HCI deployment can reduce the data centre footprint where this is an ability to consolidate from three racks of server network and storage to one, and it can significantly reduce energy cost. With HCI, it is a simple management interface and also removes the need to log on to multiple interfaces.
-
HCI has an ability to easily restore data. As cybercriminal activity rises and businesses of every size become at risk of an attack, HCI have embedded elements of disaster recovery and backups into infrastructure.
-
HCI brings an affordable economic model to any IT department where it only needs less equipment to purchase, maintain and support. The recurring costs of supporting an HCI data center are lower.
5. Agility
- In HCI, the workloads all fall under the same administrative umbrella where it makes it easier to migrate workloads from one location to another.
-
HCI is using node-based architecture, so it is very easy to scale up the Hyper-converged data center where it simply adds or subtract nodes to match the resource demand.
