The Top 15 HCI Vendors Worldwide
By 2023, 70 percent of enterprises will be running some form of hyperconverged infrastructure, up from less than 30 percent in 2019, according to Gartner’s new Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure.
The hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) market is rapidly expanding in 2019 as vendors are making substantial inroads into a broader set of use cases and deployment options, although some limitations still exist. Gartner said that over the past year it has witnessed increased consideration of hyperconvergence in mission-critical enterprise applications as well as market leaders turning their innovation focus to edge environments.
As HCI leaders expand their deployment options to include more cloud providers—such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft—vendors are increasingly focused on new tools and capabilities to monitor, secure, manage, optimize and govern diverse on-premises and cloud deployments. Vendors are also now beginning to offer artificial intelligence functions to automatically improve performance and prevent failures.
Here are the 15 market-leading vendors in hyperconvergence that made Gartner’s new 2019 Hyperconverged Infrastructure Magic Quadrant, along with the research firm’s assessments of each company’s strengths and weaknesses in the space.
