The Gorilla Guide To . . . Hyperconverged Infrastructure for Data Center Consolidation

In recent years, it seems like technology is changing faster than it used
to in decades past. As employees devour newer technologies such as
smartphones, tablets, wearables, and other devices, and as they become
more comfortable with solutions such as Dropbox and Skype, their
demands on enterprise IT intensify. Plus, management and other
decision makers are also increasing their demands on enterprise IT to
provide more infrastructure with less cost and time. Unfortunately,
enterprise IT organizations often don’t see much, if any, associated
increases in funding to accomodate these demands.


These demands have resulted in the need for IT organizations to
attempt to mimic NASA’s much-heralded “Faster, Better, Cheaper”
operational campaign. As the name suggests, NASA made great
attempts to build new missions far more quickly than was possible in
the past, with greater levels of success, and with costs that were dramatically
lower than previous missions. NASA was largely successful
in their efforts, but the new missions tended to look very different
from the ones in the past. For example, the early missions were big and
complicated with a ton of moving parts, while modern missions have
been much smaller in scale with far more focused mission deliverables.
