It's hyper converged-with-everything in today's datacentre
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: eGuide
Hyper-converged infrastructure has taken the datacentre by storm.
At heart it is the marrying of compute and storage in one box, but with a couple of crucial additions.
These are the ability to combine multiple nodes into a single cluster, with resources shared in grid-like fashion between them. And, at the same time, that is usually accompanied by a built-in virtualisation hypervisor.
Those characteristics make hyper-converged infrastructure simple to roll out and manage, and well-suited to use cases that range from SME deployments to multiple-node enterprise implementations.
In fact, it's almost a case of "We're all hyper-converged now", as the datacentre-in-a-box threatens to eclipse the shared storage array.
In this e-guide we look at the key hyper-converged vendors and their products, as well as hyper-converged tailored to disaster recovery, backup, cloud functionality, and the software-defined hyper-converged products available.

Converged infrastructure: Essential guide
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: eGuide
The converged infrastructure concept has been heartily embraced by the enterprise market in recent years, as IT buyers seek out ways to improve datacentre efficiency by kitting their facilities out with higher-performing kit that takes up significantly less physical space.
With converged infrastructure suppliers often taking care of the pre-testing and configuration of these hardware stacks (to ensure the server, storage and networking building blocks contained within work as expected), deployment time tends to be shorter as well.
All this is good news for CIO intent on making converged infrastructure a cornerstone of their wider digital transformation plans, as it means they can get their projects up and running that little bit quicker.
In this guide, we take a deep-dive into the benefits of converged infrastructure and find out why this is an area of hardware spend CIOs are increasingly turning their attention to, with a view to investing more of their IT budgets in.
