Hyperconverged
A hyper-converged system is typically sold as a commodity hardware box, but it can also be sold as software that can be installed on a buyer’s existing hardware or as hardware purchased specifically for the installation.
A hyper-converged system allows the integrated technologies to be managed as a single system through a common tool set. Hyper-converged systems can be expanded through the addition of nodes to the base unit. Most hyper-converged systems require a minimum of three hardware nodes for high availability. A grouping of nodes is known as a cluster.
Hyperconverged Tools
Nutanix is a hyper-converged infrastructure, which is currently a big concern in the IT world. Nutanix has 2 U servers, there are 4 independent servers (nodes), each with 2 CPU Sockets, RAM, 2x10GbE, 2x1GbE, 6 Disks. So total in 2U Server (NX-3450 Series) is 80 Cores CPU, 2TB RAM (assuming 512GB per node), 8x10GbE and 16TB Row SATA, 3.2TB SSD Row.
HPE SimpliVity is a ready-to-use IT infrastructure suitable for multiple use cases, such as data center consolidation, disaster recovery, VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), to ROBO (Remote and Branch Office). HPE SimpliVity uses all-flash storage that ensures consistent storage performance for various usage scenarios.
Sangfor Hyper-Converged Infrastructure consolidates traditional hardware-appliance-based security, IP network, storage network, server and storage into one tier of commodity hardware. All the resources management and distribution can be done through the web interface operation. It’s very easy to use, which makes our operation and maintenance easier.
