Our Answer to Why HCI?

• Increased Performanceo Higher IOPS (3x to 8x)

o Lower Latency (<3ms)

• Less Expensiveo 44% Savings

o Lower Operational Cost (fewer SMEs)

• Greeno Far Less Power & Cooling

• More Reliableo Triple Redundancy, Fault Domains, Fewer Pieces to Fail

Concerns with Deployment

What concerns – if any – do you have about your organization deploying a converged or

hyperconverged solution? (% of respondents, N=308, multiple responses accepted)

Loss of pricing leverage with vendor

Vendor won't support non-standard configuarations

Too much invested in our current IT infrastructure

Feel that we give too much control to one vendor

No fit with blade servers

Can't select "best-of-breed" technology

Lack of configuration flexibility

Too expensive

Inefficient use of storage media

Concerns of "noisy neighbors" issues

Vendor "lock-in"

Lack of flexibility when scaling

Performance concerns around data locality 29%
