Ultra-Converged Infrastructure

The phrase infrastructure simplification sounds attractive. Fewer platforms. Less complexity. Easier management. But organisations do not modernise infrastructure simply because the architecture looks cleaner on a diagram. The real question is: What does simpler infrastructure actually change for the business? For many organisations, the data centre has evolved over years. Virtualisation may come from one platform, storage from another, networking from another, backup and dis

For years, infrastructure modernisation has focused on consolidation. Servers became virtual machines. Storage moved from dedicated arrays towards software-defined platforms. Hyperconverged infrastructure brought compute and storage together and simplified many traditional data-centre architectures. But infrastructure has continued to evolve. Organisations now expect more than virtualisation and shared storage. They need integrated networking, data protection, disaster recove
