It's hyper converged-with-everything in today's datacentre

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: "Boost performance and lower latency with VMware vSAN 8 and 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors—Solution design brief"

  • Datacentre Management

    While many enterprises seek to downsize their datacentre management responsibilities through increasing their use of cloud, some organisations – for regulatory and operational reasons – will need to retain a server farm for many years to come.

    For companies in this situation, finding ways to continually improve the efficiency and performance of their datacentres, through the adoption of good management and monitoring protocols, is of utmost importance, and can also help reduce the risk of downtime occurring.

    That said, joint research published by Intel and Siemens earlier this year suggests around one-in-ten datacentre operators have no such systems in place, putting them at increased risk of outages, system errors and other performance-related issues.

    In this e-guide, we’ve pulled together some of the latest thinking on good datacentre management practice, while shining a light on the tools and technologies that are on the market (or in the pipeline) that can help enterprises run their facilities with greater ease and agility.
