What’s Next for Hyper-Converged Infrastructure: 5 Powerful HCI Use Cases for 2019

In this white paper, we look at five of the critical use cases currently driving HCI deployments and why they will continue to benefit from HCI in 2019 and beyond. Hyper-converged infrastructure has emerged as a breakthrough IT technology over the past several years. With the right HCI solution, IT teams can lower costs, increase agility and reduce complexity—leveraging a modern software-defined IT platform that provides a seamless path to hybrid cloud. The reality is that IT teams have been so pleased with the benefits they are already reaping with HCI that they are looking for new ways to use it to power key initiatives such as digital transformation. This trend is being accelerated by advances in performance, ease of use and functionality, driven by technology innovations such as Intel Optane memory and VMware vSAN.

Together, VMware and Intel enable IT organizations to realize a digital transformation that delivers IT infrastructure and application services with the speed and agility to support business innovation, all while optimizing TCO and improving resource utilization. Intel technologies combine with leading compute, storage, and network virtualization technologies to power VMware’s hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) solutions that enable businesses to modernize their infrastructure, automate IT, and run modern applications.
