Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI) is a software-defined, unified system that combines all the elements of a traditional data center, including storage, compute, networking, and management. It is a software-defined IT infrastructure that virtualizes all of the elements of conventional “hardware-defined” systems. HCI includes, at a minimum, virtualized computing (a hypervisor), software-defined storage, and virtualized networking (software-defined networking). Because all of the software-defined elements are implemented in the context of the hypervisor, the management of all resources can be federated (shared) across all instances of a hyper-converged infrastructure. HCI infrastructures are usually made up of server systems equipped with Direct-Attached Storage HCI also includes the ability to plug and play into a data center pool of similar systems. All physical data center resources reside on a single administrative platform for both hardware and software layers. Consolidation of all functional elements at the hypervisor level, together with federated management, eliminates traditional data-center inefficiencies and reduces the total cost of ownership for data centers.
Four tightly integrated software components make up a hyper converged platform:
