Converged & Hyper Converged Market Gaining Traction from IT and Telecom Industry

Converged Infrastructure (CI) operates by grouping multiple information technology (IT) components such as servers, data storage devices, networking equipment and software into a single and optimized package. While Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) is a software-centric architecture that incorporates compute, storage and virtualization resources in a single system which contains x86 hardware. Increasing demand for data protection requirements, hardware segments, enhance IT operational efficiency, and improvements in data protection from IT and telecom industry are the factors driving the growth of the Converged & Hyper Converged Market. In this era where data is intellectual and valuable property, recent surveys by IT giants have portrayed that 87% of IT companies agreed to the fact that CI and HCI make assessments agiler. 

Pivot3, one of the leading vendors of HCI reportedly confirmed a growth of 85% in 2016-2017 owing to the rapid adaption of this phenomenon in the multi-billion dollar IT arcade. IndustryARC research report projects profitable growth through market research analysis during the forecast period.  The report is titled “Converged & Hyper Converged Market : By Converged infrastructure Components (Server, Networking, Storage, infrastructure; By Architecture (Pre-Configured & Custom built); By End User (BFSI, Healthcare, Government, Education, Cloud Service Provider and Others) & Geography - Forecast(2018 - 2023).”

Some of the major players operating on the digital signage market are CISCO Systems Inc., Dell EMC, Gridstore, Inc., VMware, IBM, Oracle, NetApp, Riverbed Technology and DataCore. 

CISCO offers converged infrastructure solutions such as HyperFlex, FlexPod, VersaStack, and FlashStack systems which combines compute, storage, and networking technologies into an easy way of using systems. HyperFlex systems combine’ software-defined computing in the form of Unified Computing System (UCS) servers, with the data platform software which incorporates with the Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). Out of the enormous $48.0 billion revenue recorded in 2017, 43% business was executed by the company over software and services. Such gigantic figures clearly determine the sheer affluence of the converged and hyper-converged market size.

Dell EMC, a key player in the global HCI market, provides a comprehensive range of solutions. Its 14 generation PowerEdge servers simplifies IT and deliver the transformation of an organization. It offers HCI solutions such as VxRail, vSAN Ready Nodes, and VxRack SDDC. These are used to accelerate the path to the cloud and modernize the data center. These products, IT outcome will be managed by VMware Company.

VMware provides vSAN which is the only vSphere native software for hyper converged infrastructure. HCI powered by vSAN consists of vSphere, vCenter Server and vSAN. The vSAN helps customers to effortlessly evolve to a modern data center with a constant operating experience and all-flash performance.

In this digital era where an IT sectors data is no less than the money in the bank, converged & hyper-converged infrastructure makes systems easier to support systems security, integrity and efficiency. Rising usage of virtualization and increasing demand for data protection and disaster recovery are the factors adding new revenue avenue to the players operating in the converged & hyper converged market.
