Hyperconverged systems / HCI Infrastructure in-a-box

Hyperconverged systems consolidate entire IT infrastructures in very few easy-to-manage boxes and can almost be seen as the counter-design to the classic modular IT setup. This brings numerous benefits in terms of rapid deployment, low administrative costs, less space, power and cooling requirements, and homogeneity.

In a total cost consideration over the entire life cycle, such solutions usually turn out to be more economical than a modular approach. An important reason is that these concepts are based on relatively inexpensive standard hardware and that the actual value-add lies within the software and the process integration it provides.
