Nutanix And VMware Are The HCI Software Standouts
VMware and Nutanix have been battling for hyperconverged infrastructure software dominance for years. The two companies have consistently gone toe-to-toe for global market share leadership in terms of the software ownership of hyperconverged systems.
Global revenues from hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) systems reached $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019, representing a 17.2 percent increase year over year, according to research firm IDC.
The research firm offers two ways to rank technology suppliers within the hyperconverged market: by the brand of the hyperconverged solution and by the owner of the software providing the core hyperconverged capabilities. Regarding the later, CRN breaks down the three market share leaders based on the owner of the hyperconverged software in the fourth quarter of 2019.
