Hyper-Converged Innovation Engine Full Steam Ahead In 2019
Businesses are placing their bets on hyper-converged infrastructure to fulfill their business-critical enterprise applications and data center simplification needs, according to Gartner’s new Magic Quadrant for Hyper-Converged Infrastructure.
Hyper-converged vendors are expanding their strategy to embrace hybrid and multi-cloud deployments, as well as offering new software-only and reference architecture options, according to Gartner’s report.
The IT research firm predicts that by 2022, 75 percent of enterprise generated data will be created and processed outside a traditional, centralized data center or cloud, up from less than 10 percent in 2018. To accommodate this shift, HCI leaders are beginning to target the needs of remote offices and edge environments.
Here are the 14 vendors that made Gartner’s Hyperconverged Infrastructure Magic Quadrant, along with assessment of each company’s strengths and weaknesses in the space.
