What Are the Problems Associated to a Hyperconverged Infrastructure?

By now, everyone is likely heard about what is hyperconverged infrastructure and you may know someone from a different industry considers adopting it or even you or your company wants to use it. As you work through the process, chances are you’ve already wondered what sorts of challenges hyperconvergence could solve for you. Most likely you’re also wondering where you can get this kind of service especially from a third world country like the Philippines. Answer is: there are tons of IT solutions providers in the Philippines that you can work with.

Here are the 4 problems that you can say goodbye with should you take the chance to HCI.

Agonizing and Lengthy Management

Much of the complexity and process associated with legacy architecture comes from the time consuming and tedious management it requires. We have racks, silos, different and separate servers, multiple vendors and endless cables. Far too many IT groups are focused on simply keeping these and other elements that their company experience worry about projects and initiatives that can push the business forward. Here hyperconvergence takes place. It uses a single glass to give you a better view into your IT environment and with complete visibility, you are free to manage every part of your infrastructure simply, clearly and smoothly in one spot. No more costly and separate management solutions.

Complex and Costly VDI Deployment

What do all IT companies or teams want? It is to become more resilient, responsive and to run around the clock to do it all within a rigid budget. Most of the companies are turning to virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) especially now during the pandemic. With remote access to applications and desktops, employees can be anywhere and work from any of their devices letting them have greater productivity and continuity. The problem with that? If the underlying infrastructure that supports the VDI is weak, the availability and performance of your remote workloads are compromised.

HCI is emerging as a far more streamlined, wide and cost efficient way to deploy VDI. By using software defined storage or SDS, the right resources go to the right virtual desktops automatically and eliminates the pain of manual intervention. In addition to that, businesses on HCI are able to scale within their budget, enjoying their no brainer infrastructure and get their time back.

Minimizing the IT Budget

We all have limited IT budgets - one we can't simply afford to drain on infrastructure alone like support teams, licensing and upgrade costs, administrative cost, power, data center and many more. At first, 3-tier architecture looks friendly on your budget but on the initial cost quickly doubles and triples when you consider the variables it takes to keep it running.

Need to Scale?

If you’re on a 3-tier architecture, chances are you’re already familiar with Resource Prediction Dilemma that means a daunting task where you are asked to predict your resource consumption 3 or 5 years down the line of your business. Too often, this means overprovisioning to avoid the depletion of resources and that will cause you wasted and unused resources but with HCI, using a pay as you grow model, you simply add on nodes and deploy them whenever you need them. That means, nothing goes to waste and you are not forced to pay for more than you need.
