What is hyperconvergence?
Of the multitude of definitions of hyperconvergence that have been tossed around by vendors over the past decade, here is the one that should cover all grounds: A data center that employs hyperconvergence (HCI) enables workloads (software) to be deployed, hosted, and managed in a data center, using hardware designed to scale and adjust for those workloads’ varying requirements, along with the data center’s own changing operating circumstances. The needs of the software are answered and addressed by all the hardware in the facility or in the hyperconverged cluster, acting collectively.
