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.
These are also closely related to: "How vSAN offers an easy path to HCI and your hybrid cloud"

VMworld 2019 Europe: Where next for VMware?
By: TechTarget ComputerWeekly.com
Type: eGuide
In the same way many enterprises have had to adapt and innovate in the face of new challengers and market changes, VMware is also in the midst of huge transformation of its own.
The company’s server virtualisation software is commonplace within enterprise datacentres, but with many firms increasingly looking to shutter their server farms, move off-premise, and embrace cloud-native development practices, VMware has had to adapt accordingly.
As such, the firm has moved to align itself with the major public cloud players, and help their joint customer tap into the benefits that come from operating a hybrid cloud setup.
At the same time, the company has also made a concerted effort to ensure its technologies can continue to support customers as they negotiate re-engineering their application estates, so they can take advantage of containers, and adopt microservices strategies, for example.
That’s just a snapshot of the huge body of work the company has undertaken in recent years, which we will examine more closely in this e-guide. It also offers a round-up of some of the biggest announcements VMware made at this year’s VMworld US 2019 conference, as part of a countdown towards its European conference in November 2019.
