Benefits of Hyperconverged Infrastructure
1. Improved Performance
Hyperconverged Infrastructure systems can be used to deploy and handle high workloads that include SQL servers, enterprise apps, etc. Hyperconverged Infrastructure provides improved performance even for such heavy workloads.
2. Scalability
Hyperconverged Infrastructures are easily scalable. In the existing cluster, multiple new nodes can be added easily. New required resources are automatically identified by the system and integrated accordingly.
3. Data Protection and Security
Hyperconverged Infrastructure systems consist of built-in data protection mechanisms and self-encrypting tools and drives for a high level of security. It also provides features for backup and disaster recovery.
4. Improved Resource Utilization
Hyperconverged Infrastructure provides efficient utilization of resources dynamically allocating te resources and balancing the workloads in the cluster. Optimization performance is provided by efficient use of resources.
5. Cost Effective
In Hyperconverged Infrastructure, the required components need to be integrated into a single platform. This integration reduces the use of power, maintenance cost, and storage footprint. Thus implementation and maintenance of Hyperconverged Infrastructure systems is cost-effective.
What is Hyperconvergence?
Hyper-convergence is defined as an IT framework that is a single system consisting of storage, computing, and networking with an aim to reduce data center complexity. Hyperconvergence improves the performance, scalability, and security of the systems. These systems make use of hypervisor for virtualized computing and networking and for software-defined storage. Hyperconvergence provides simplicity as it is provided by cloud-like infrastructure.
