Enterprise IT teams today are looking for ways to deliver IT services with the speed and operational efficiency of public cloud services such as AWS, Azure and Google.
In the past, traditional IT infrastructure - with separate disk arrays, SANs, and servers - helped IT professionals meet mission-critical goals. However, it is not well suited to the growing demands of applications and the fast pace of work in modern enterprises. The silos created by traditional infrastructure add complexity at every stage from deployment to management, making it difficult to respond quickly to ever-changing business priorities. There remains an urgent need to innovate and remodel the enterprise infrastructure to enable IT professionals to work smarter, not harder.
Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) has been around for more than a decade, simplifying data center operations and enabling faster scaling at lower cost than traditional infrastructure. Over the years, HCI has undergone a significant transformation and is now able to support the vast majority of modern applications on a common platform.
Today, HCI enables organizations to run their Software-Defined Datacenters (SDDC) as private clouds, and seamlessly integrates private and public clouds into a unified hybrid cloud. There are eight key reasons why organizations are replacing their aging SAN infrastructure with modern HCI infrastructure. Let's look at them.
One-click ease of use
Traditional infrastructure consists of multiple layers, each with its own dedicated management interface. Each of these interfaces has its own learning curve, leading to the need for dedicated specialists in each area. This is part of the reason why many common tasks require extensive collaboration between teams, which can slow down initiatives and make it difficult to get things done quickly.
HCI integrates these disparate layers into a single infrastructure platform and management interface. This allows specialists to perform tasks without having to wait for dedicated specialists, resulting in greater productivity. In addition, the streamlined nature of HCI enables easy automation of many processes that traditionally required manual labor. Advanced HCI solutions such as Nutanix use built-in intelligent automation to automate the deployment of the solution to one or many geographically dispersed locations simultaneously. Nutanix also automates updates from firmware through HCI and hypervisor software layers.
Similarly, you can take advantage of AI/ML-based features such as automatic capacity prediction, proactive VM sizing, and application-specific automation without the need for complex configuration or integration. This means one-click automation with one management interface for your entire infrastructure.
Results?
Significantly reduces the time and effort needed to deploy and maintain infrastructure, allowing IT teams to focus on critical initiatives.
