Scale as you growth
Much of the infrastructure available (converged stacks, storage arrays, traditional blade servers, networking) requires a degree of expertise that can hamper rapid deployment.
The drive towards HCI fills the need for moving the infrastructure at the speed of business. But often there’s another cost like proliferation of solutions that are managed separately. This complicates infrastructure management and operations.
The final challenge is around the ‘promise’ of cloud economics. Note that cloud doesn’t save you money – it provides simplified scaling at more granular levels, and allows you to spend the money when you need it. For these new apps and operational models, a solution is required that helps you scale capabilities as you need it.
To be more agile, it says HCI platforms must have:
To become more adaptable, HCI must be able to:
