Hyperconverged infrastructure aims to make hybrid cloud complexities invisible
As the number of enterprises adopting cloud deployment practices rapidly scales, businesses are increasingly seeking new solutions to the efficiency challenges posed by virtualization. With its offer of simplified integrations and reduced deployment times, hyperconverged infrastructure is quickly becoming one of the top growth segments within the information technology landscape.
“Across our customer base … we’re seeing 60 percent plus of all workloads are tier-one applications,” said Ben Gibson (pictured, left), chief marketing officer of Nutanix Inc. “In partnership with Dell EMC, Nutanix is working to provide customers with the market’s most-streamlined HCI solution. Databases, other mission-critical applications, that are running on HCI infrastructure, with Dell and Nutanix together.”
Gibson and Dan McConnell (pictured, right), vice president of the Converged Platform & Solutions Division at Dell EMC, spoke with John Walls (@JohnWalls21), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, and guest host Keith Townsend (@CTOAdvisor), at the Dell Technologies World event in Las Vegas. They discussed the market shift to HCI and how Dell and Nutanix are answering the call for improvements in platform integrations. (* Disclosure below.)
Solving for tomorrow’s digital transformation needs
Gibson and McConnell attribute the boom in HCI popularity to its ease of use, flexibility, and the cost-efficiency it provides through optimized performance. “What’s motivating that interest … is the surge we’re seeing around data center modernization initiatives. There’s a lot of need for application traffic growth,” Gibson said.
To help enable that growth, Nutanix and Dell are working to make complexities within multicloud and complicated legacy data center environments invisible — while bringing pertinent data to the forefront to empower more strategic business decisions. “How do you determine the best cloud platform … with these workloads? … There’s this vacuum that we can fill here together … by innovation with management, automation, context around making those decisions,” Gibson said.
As Dell and Nutanix continue optimizing in HCI, they aim to strike a balance between independent innovation and incorporating customer requests. “As customers step into HCI, we’re seeing more and more people … looking to solve different problems with it. … There’s a combination between opinionated and listening. Some of our best innovations have come directly from the customers,” McConnell concluded.
