“HCI is a good way to build a private cloud very efficiently and simply, and a lot of our customers are looking at building a private cloud with HCI. Our focus is on data center networking and building very converged networking systems that are easy to scale out.” – Mat Mathews, SDxCentral In case you missed it, this summer I had the opportunity to catch up with editor Jessica Hardcastle and share my thoughts on #hyperconverged infrastructure ( #HCI ) and our recent partnership with #bigdata firm @DecisionLab. My comments appeared in SDxCentral, where we discussed how HCI is on the rise, intent-based networking, and the benefits of @Plexxi ’s partnership with Decision Lab which allows for the integration of real-time analytics into our platform. You can check out the full story here for more details. Below please find a few of our top picks for our favorite news articles of the week. ComputerWeekly: Hyper-converged infrastructure and disaster recovery By Chris Evans Hyper-converged infrastructure delivers cost savings through a combination of slimmed-down hardware and greater operational improvements. The operational benefits of hyper-converged allow organisations to focus on the needs of the application rather than feed the infrastructure beast. Disaster recovery is a major component of any infrastructure design, including hyper-converged infrastructure. So, can hyper-converged architecture reduce the impact of implementing disaster recovery? TechTarget: HCI software platforms come with challenges, benefits By Clive Longbottom Hyper-converged infrastructure comes with a degree of vendor lock-in and can lack the basic freedom to grow each resource separately. But now, with software-only hyper-converged, it is possible for users to provide their own hardware systems and apply HCI software over the top. This essentially mimics the functionality of an HCI appliance but offers more flexibility. Hyper-converged infrastructure is good for running multiple workloads on the same underlying hardware and is often marketed as a cloud-in-a-box system with elastic resource allocation, high resource utilization and low manual systems management requirements.
