Experts answer: Should you go all-in on HCI technology?

Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is undeniably on the rise, but is it mature enough yet for you to risk moving away from your tried-and true systems, even if they are a bit slower? Should you go all-in on hyper-convergence technology? Our experts are here to help.

In this e-guide, learn more about how hyper-converged systems differ from traditional storage architecture, top considerations buyers should have on their checklist when shopping for these systems, and how HCI has matured.

Read on to then learn what factors are moving the storage industry away from hard disk drives, and towards HCI.

  • 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
