Why WFH workforces now rely on HCI

HCI and VDI have historically gotten along well together. In fact, one of the first and still popular use cases for hyper-converged technology is as a work-from-home infrastructure platform for serving virtual desktops to remote users, the need for which is now greater than ever.

However, the adoption of HCI for edge computing workloads is also growing—and ROBOs are starting to take full advantage of this setup.

Read our expert guide on The Evolution of HCI Networking to dig further into these parallel trends and:

  • Discover several factors to consider when using HCI for VDI
  • Why WFH workforces now rely on HCI—and how your business can benefit
  • How to tackle any HCI networking challenges that may crop up
  • And more  

These are also closely related to: "Transform Your Business With HCI"

  • Remote work: The value of combining HCI & VDI

    The use of hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) to support a good virtual desktop infrastructure user experience has been a popular undertaking for many organizations in the last few years. The combo is perfect for remote work, offering easy access to up-to-date applications in a flexible, cost-effective manner.

    In this white paper, explore the foundational concepts of Azure Stack HCI, what it is used for, its benefits, use cases, and finally how Nerdio manages Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) for Azure Stack HCI.

  • Hyper-Converged Infrastructure Key Choices: We Look at Hyper-Converged Infrastructure and its Benefits for the Datacentre.

    Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is the rising star heralding an architectural revolution in the datacentre. Hyper-convergence brings together compute and storage in one box often with the hypervisor built in.  With multiple nodes built into scale-out clusters, HCI is easy to manage and easy to grow. We look at why it makes sense to go hyper-converged, how HCI differs from converged infrastructure, the pros and cons of hyper-converged vs traditional storage arrays, HCI software products available, and whether hyper-converged can help unleash the blistering performance potential of NVMe flash storage.
