Does hyper-converged infrastructure improve VDI scalability?

BOSTON -- When introducing a technology such as VDI to the workforce, IT administrators need the ability to scale...

up and down, depending on demands and adoption rate. Hyper-converged infrastructure provides back-end flexibility that can help a VDI project meet a company's needs.

One of the major benefits of usinghyper-converged infrastructure ( #HCI ) is that it combines compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources all into one tightly integrated, software-defined system. An admin can upgrade the entire system at once by adding a single node, rather than sorting through a traditional siloed setup.

"You have all of the components of the traditional infrastructure consolidated into a single device, so that allows us to quickly and easily scale out the environment," Sammie Ginger, a principal engineer at #SimpliVity Corp., based in Westborough, Mass., said in a session.

HCI vendors #Nutanix and SimpliVity both hosted sessions here at last week's #VMware User Group UserCon event, and VMware offered a hands-on lab for one of its two HCI products -- the still unreleased EVO SDDC.
