Hyperconverged infrastructure, also known as HCI, used to be thought of as appliances that basically brought together storage, compute and networking into a single box. But that definition, and the way of doing HCI in general, is changing. That’s the focus of this “10 on Tech” podcast, which features a discussion with Maxta Founder and CEO Yoram Novick. ActualTech Media’s James Green asks Yoram about the benefits of a software-only HCI solution, and why he thinks it’s the future of HCI. Hint: it can do a lot more than VDI. Highlights of the show include: How the field of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has changed over the last several years The reasons HCI is transitioning from appliances/integrated systems to best-of-breed components The ways in which HCI software changes IT economics How software-based HCI allows for greater choice in the data center for things like hardware, hypervisors, virtual machines and containers, etc. Common misconceptions about HCI Resource links from the show: Maxta - https://www.maxta.com/ Hyperconverged.org Website - http://www.hyperconverged.org/ HCI Vendor Comparison - https://searchconvergedinfrastructure.techtarget.com/feature/Hyper-converged-product-comparison-What-leading-HCI-vendors-offer We hope you enjoy this episode; and don’t forget to subscribe to the show on iTunes, Google Play, or Stitcher.
