Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) promises simplified management but hides substantial costs and complexities. Traditional HCI architectures impose high hardware requirements, inefficiencies, and restrictive availability models. This article explores these hidden costs, offering a detailed comparison with alternative solutions designed to improve efficiency, reduce complexity, and substantially lower infrastructure expenses and risks.
As part of a VMware exit, comparing the VMware alternative storage capabilities is as important as selecting an alternative hypervisor for the organization’s future infrastructure software. Organizations typically examine Nutanix’s Controller Virtual Machine (CVM) architecture against VergeIO’s integrated VergeFS storage within VergeOS. Although both approaches…
Learn why Ultraconverged Infrastructure (UCI) is the evolution of high-performance HCI, improving the ROI of legacy solutions. UCI delivers better performance than dedicated storage arrays and superior ROI compared to traditional HCI by integrating virtualization, storage, and networking into a unified platform. Discover how UCI transforms modern data centers efficiently and affordably.
Explore how Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) falls short as a VMware alternative, and discover VergeIO’s UltraConverged Infrastructure (UCI), VergeOS, a superior solution offering better CPU and storage performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. Learn about UCI’s cohesive codebase and its advantages over traditional three-tier architectures.
Learn why HCI doesn’t simplify IT and how ultraconverged infrastructures can fulfill and extend the promises of HCI.
A flexible infrastructure must be able to scale small and large and manage different types of nodes. Learn why HCI can’t meet these requirements in a single solution while UCI, particularly VergeOS, can. Discover how VergeOS allows for starting small with as few as two nodes, scaling up to over a hundred nodes while also integrating different hardware types into the same instance.
