Evolution of Infrastructures

1st Generation -

Siloed

2nd Generation -

Converged

➕Pre-tested server, storage,

network

➕Independent scaling

➕Efficient storage

redundancy

➖Proprietary, Expensive

Storage

➖Complex storage

management

3rd Generation -

Hyperconverged

➕Simple, app-centric

management

➕Low cost storage

➖Network not simple

➖Coupled scaling

➖Inefficient storage
