Converged vs. Hyperconverged

SUSE defines “The difference between a hyperconverged versus a converged infrastructure is that in HCI both the storage area network and the storage abstractions are implemented virtually rather than physically in the hardware. This makes it possible to manage and configure all resources within the context of the hypervisor. This eliminates many inefficiencies found in traditional data centers and reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO). The tight integration of components is what provides the key benefits of HCI: Ease of management and ease of scaling. When an organization wants to add more resources, it simply adds nodes to the HCI”

Benefits of Hyperconverged Infratructure

Scalability & Agility

A hyperconverged infrastructure enables the software-defined data center, improving scalability and agility while enabling a software-centric architecture. With modular scale-out, businesses can start with just a few nodes and add more as needed, without having to guess how to build their data center infrastructure.

Customization

Hyperconverged virtualization is a proven architecture that supports a range of workloads, and within a hyperconverged system, it is possible to customize servers to the needs of specific workloads.

Low Up-Front Cost

A hyperconverged infrastructure has low up-front costs, making it easier to manage capital expenses and avoid overprovisioning. Additionally, because HCI systems are virtual, they can be managed by any IT personnel familiar with the VMs, helping to lower overall operational costs.
