The IT landscape is changing quickly. Today’s customers
are moving away from their traditional infrastructure
approach, towards a workload focus and IT that leads
to better business outcomes such as Mobility and
Analytics. At the same time these customers are
looking for lower cost, more efficient delivery models
driven by Cloud, Hybrid IT and IT-as-a-Service.
To achieve this organisations are transforming their
core digital delivery, moving away from legacy,
siloed compute and storage, toward virtualisation,
convergence and now hyper-convergence, with the
aim of simplifying operations, accelerating business
agility and freeing up IT to innovate.

As businesses of all shapes and sizes embrace
the fast-changing IT landscape, this Azlan thought
leadership paper investigates the drivers and benefits
of hyper-convergence and the contribution it’s
making to IT transformation.
HPE has highlighted four key principles underpinning future IT strategy:

applications, consumption
models and the move to
mobility and cloud.
Automate and orchestrate
the compute, storage and
data that fuels business
apps. Connect to world-
class networking and
mobility tools providing
users with a great
experience anytime,
anywhere, on any device.
Build an infrastructure that
delivers 100% access to

SILOED, LEGACY ARCHITECTURES ARE INHIBITING BUSINESS GROWTH
COMPLEXITY IS STIFLING IT EFFICIENCY AND INNOVATION
ORGANISATIONS ARE PUSHING THE USE-CASE BOUNDARIES
INTEGRATED SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY HAS EVOLVED
HYPER-CONVERGENCE IS THE INDUSTRY’S FAST-GROWING RESPONSE
64.5%CAGR 2014-19, IDC
The integrated systems technologies underpinning hyper-convergence: VMware,
VMware Horizon and Citrix XenDesktop, have matured as virtualisation, virtual desktop
infrastructures, private and hybrid cloud have become widespread. At the same time the
clustered, scale-out architecture driving many of the benefits of hyper-converged systems
are now at home on familiar, affordable x86 systems.
Hyper-converged systems, integrating compute, storage and storage networking into a
single-software or appliance, are the industry’s response to these shortcomings. Interest
is so strong, hyper-convergence now represents one of the fastest-growing IT sectors,
with IDC2 (2016) forecasting growth at 64.5% CAGR through 2014-19, almost $5bn
globally.

“Many organisations, according to Gartner, have server virtualisation rates that exceed 75%, demonstrating the maturity of the market.”
Originally built to support traditional applications and
business processes, legacy infrastructures are proving
too costly and rigid for today’s dynamic demands. In older
environments deploying applications and servers, adding
capacity and provisioning storage is taking weeks instead
of minutes. Separate silos of compute, storage and
SAN, dedicated to individual applications and business
units are now unfit for purpose in this age of IT agility.
IT teams are overstretched managing and supporting
disparate systems, whilst overprovisioning and ageing
systems are driving up power costs and consuming
too much space in the datacentre.
The administrative burden of traditional IT is
inhibiting efficiency and innovation. Running a
multitude of platforms requires an equivalent
investment in the IT skills and resource to deploy,
configure and manage them. Add the complexity
attached to procurement, licensing and support
across such disparate systems and its clear
there must be a more cost-efficient alternative.
The business case for hyper-converged is extending
as organisations explore new uses. More and more
virtual workloads are moving into hyper-converged
environments including mission-critical applications,
NoSQL, Hadoop. Increasingly, a wider range of
virtualised workloads including mission-critical
and cloud-native applications are being run on
hyper-converged infrastructure, as well as distributed
NoSQL and Hadoop-based applications.

Hyper-convergence is perfect for highly virtualised environments; deploy new systems
and manage firmware and driver updates in just a few clicks, makes it easy to keep
virtual machine sprawl in check.
The simplicity of hyper-convergence allows IT departments to invest less time managing
core infrastructure and more time enabling self-service for their customers.
Single point of contact for support, speeding up time-to-resolution
Scale-out architectures and ‘pay-as-you-grow” pricing mean hyper-converged systems
can be scaled and reconfigured without impacting application performance and without forklift
upgrades.
Move data easily across systems, sites and cloud.
Common management tools eliminate multiple consoles, less time spent faultfinding
and fixing.
50% lower acquisition costs than a similar scale up shared storage solution.
More compute from less technology, reducing footprint and physical
parts to manage.
SMBs are looking at hyper-convergence as a replacement for their entire datacentre
environment, enterprises see it as part of their strategy and a means to drive
economy of scale.

![Page 7: HPE - Hyper Convergence without the Hype Thought... · 2016-08-22 · are now at home on familiar, affordable x86 systems. Hyper-converged systems, integrating compute, storage and](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042223/5ec9d19de90e6a6b90413099/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
With IT consumers perpetually seeking simplicity,
performance, innovation and reduced costs it’s inevitable
that hyper-convergence will become established as a
mainstream strategy over the coming years. The early
adopters are already enjoying substantial financial and
operational benefits and the ecosystem of applications
and data solutions attached to hyper-convergence is
growing daily.
Virtualisation is now a mature technology, with some
saying the market is reaching saturation point.
What’s clear is that customers will be looking for
solutions that extend the benefits of this proven
approach, and hyper-convergence provides
them with a simple, logical next step with
pre-established use cases.
Hyper-convergence bridges what Azlan terms
the ‘Core’ and the ‘New’. Core because it’s
built on familiar HPE technologies including
ProLiant, OneView and StoreVirtual making it
easy to integrate into existing environments
and skillsets. New because it opens doors
to the innovations that will drive IT in the
coming 5-10 years including cloud, hybrid
IT and self-service business models.
Customers are looking for innovation,
something hyper-convergence
delivers and enables, but they’re
also looking for a safe investment
path. HPE Hyper-Converged
solutions meet this key business
need. They’re built using proven
HPE components and they
form a highly achievable next
step on the road to fully
composable infrastructure
solutions, offering the
ultimate in flexibility and
business agility from a
100% programmable
infrastructure.
