Is hyperconverged worth it for your business? | #NEXTConf
by R. Danes | Jun 22, 2016
Hyper-converged infrastructure is touted as a next-generation solution for businesses that want to scale back on the space and time their IT takes up. Clearly, smaller and simpler are better, but hyper-converged isn’t cheap. The price tag still has some wondering if the investment will pay for itself over time or if it might ultimately be a waste.
Joris Vuffray, head of Network and System Management at Swisslos in Switzerland, which manages several lotteries, said his company weighed the options and decided that the Nutanix hypervisor was a sound investment for Swisslos. He told Stu Miniman (@stu) and Dave Vellante (@dvellante) of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, “We had a look at what was around, and Nutanix was the only solution to offer a KVM [hypervisor] solution and VM [virtual machine] management all in in one box.”
Set it and forget it
Vuffray said one of the biggest benefits of hyper-converged infrastructure is how easy it is to forget — which is why Nutanix sometimes touts it as “invisible infrastructure.” And that’s also where the economics start to look attractive. “If you look at the simplicity of the solution, there is a huge gain in time for the engineers,” Vuffray said.
“I always said I could give an iPad to my kids and they would be able to manage HV,” he joked.
With the time saved, increased focus can be applied to areas that actually produce profits. “We can focus on business application or business transactions that are important to us, and focus on performance instead of having to have a look at hardware failure and all that stuff,” Vuffray said.
