Why should you care about catching the hyper‐convergence wave? Well, as Stephen Covey once said, “You can’t change the fruit without changing the root.”In this case, the fruit is the return on your data center infrastructure investments. Are you getting all you can get from your investments? Probably not, assuming you’re using conventional approaches.To get more fruitful returns on your investments, you have to change the root — your data center architecture — so you put less capital and staff time into operating and managing your infrastructure.Hyper‐converged infrastructure (HCI) does just that. HCI evolves the way that compute, storage, and management are delivered and provisioned to help you cut operational and capital costs, increase information technology (IT) and business agility, and improve application performance.How do you get there? The first step is to immerse yourself in the concepts of this new approach to the data center. That’s what this book is about.
