Last week I was on a call with an executive of a large HCI vendor. He asked me what I actually thought about Hyperconvergence and whether, from my point of view, it will become dominant in all types of enterprises… my short answer was “yes and no”, and here is why.
When you talk with end users the first reason they give for choosing HCI is its simplicity (which also means lower TCO by the way). Generally speaking, HCI solutions are very good at serving “average” workloads but when the going gets tough, the tough get going… and hyperconvergence as we know it, is no longer enough.
