An Emphasis on Software Is Driving the Evolution of Hyper-Convergence

A software-only deployment model for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions is emerging as a cost-effective and highly flexible alternative to HCI appliances. By some accounts, the software-only approach can reduce capital and operating costs by up to 70 percent when compared to appliance-based solutions.

HCI systems emerged in recent years to address the growing complexity of IT infrastructure. By bundling compute, storage and networking into a single platform running on industry-standard hardware, these solutions can dramatically reduce the IT administrative burden.
