Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software provides virtualized compute, storage, networking and associated (cloud) management — from a single instantiation running on server hardware. Core capabilities for HCI software are virtual compute, storage and networking, using a scale-out, shared-nothing architecture combined with unified, “single pane of glass” management for these virtual resources. Additional core capabilities include local, direct-attached storage (DAS) in each node; enterprise-grade, high availability (HA) and mobility, for both compute and storage; enterprise-grade data services (e.g., deduplication, compression and erasure coding); and some level of choice in server and network hardware.
