What is converged infrastructure?
Converged infrastructure
• Bundles compute, network and storage in a
single cabinet with common management
• Independent products each with its own
configuration rules and assist
• Reference architectures or bundles
• Sold together or integrated in channel or by
customer
Value:
• Faster deployment path than non-converged
• Integrated management for easier use
• Ease of deployment, updating and technology
migration
• Confidence in a tested infrastructure
• Hardware and space consolidation leads to cost
savings

What is hyperconverged infrastructure?
Hyperconverged infrastructure
• Bundles compute, networking and storage in a
single server box with common management
• No SAN network, no HBAs
• Shares servers, shares IP network by VLAN
• Converged benefits: Independent products
with their own configuration rules and assist,
reference architectures, sold bundled or
integrated by channel or customer
Value – same as converged and more:
• Much greater savings due to greater
consolidation
• Lower entry point than enterprise storage
• Scalable building blocks with integrated
systems
• Build as optimized appliances for certain
workloads

Who needs a hyperconverged infrastructure?
Any organization seeking to reduce costs.
Also:
• Service providers and large IT organizations seeking to deliver infrastructure
services to their clients
• Integrators seeking to deploy scalable low-cost easy to assemble infrastructure for
their customers’ solutions. Ex., builders of media libraries, medical solutions, media
content delivery
• Any organization seeking to transition to the economies of a hybrid cloud environment
for relevant needs. Ex., data overflow, test/dev, DR
Use cases for hyperconverged infrastructure
5
Use case Who Why
Easy to manage
hyperconverged infrastructure
for VMware workloads
Small to large
businesses
• Powerful VMware integration lets VMware admins control
infrastructure, simplify deployment & management, avoiding
need for storage professionals
Development and test
environment/ ad-hoc projects
Medium to large
companies
• Fast deploy and at lower risk if using an appliance tested and
delivered ready to deploy
• Need to save costs but want reliability and compute
• Can leverage in-house skills to build what else is needed

hyperconverged solutions
Medium to large
companies
• Fast deploy and at lower risk if using an appliance tested and
delivered ready to deploy
• Need to save costs but want reliability and compute
• Can leverage in-house skills to build what else is needed
Lower capacity enterprise-class
storage capabilities
Large companies
with many branch
offices
• Easy to centrally manage, replicate data between branch
office and headquarters
• Excellent price/performance and flexibility for backup and
remote sites
Hybrid cloud solutions Any • Increase use of public cloud in single managed on/off
premises environment

Hyperconverged infrastructure lowers costsThe larger the environment, the greater the savings
• Converged infrastructure helps you save big:
– 25-35% savings compared to conventional storage
– Low cost general purpose hardware
– Lower costs on services by avoiding hardware purchases
– Choice of less expensive and faster disk types: saves need for more processors
– Uses the same 10GbE network for nodes, instances, and hybrid cloud
• And hyperconverged infrastructure offers even greater savings:
– 50-70% savings compared to conventional storage
– No need for SAN network between servers and HBA
– No need for HBAs
– Hardware consolidation: no SAN network, no HBAs, shared servers and IP network
– In large organizations: Empowers storage departments to deploy their own clouds
– In smaller organizations: Enables shift to lower-cost general purpose IT personnel

SilverpopShifts from data centers to a global cloud strategy with IBM Spectrum Accelerate on SoftLayer
Business Challenge:
Migrate mission critical customer data out of data centers and into public cloud to meet goals
for fast global growth, serve customers better, and meet regulatory requirements to keep data
in country.
Solution:
Deployed IBM Spectrum Accelerate on SoftLayer, with Supermicro as the underlying hardware,
after choosing it over vSAN, Scale IO, and Open Source for scaling, ease of use, predictable
performance, and features. Running key Oracle, DB2, and SQL Server workloads on Spectrum
Accelerate, now their global cloud platform. Less than one FTE is managing 2 PB.
70,000 IOPWith 1 Gb throughput – “perfect
performance…for public cloud”
– and 15% faster than traditional
enterprise storage
24-48 hoursto spin up 250 TB cluster
(includes SoftLayer tasks)
50% less CapEx
60% less OpExEliminated 1 data center
“Spectrum Accelerate is a Tier 1 array that we can use on the
cloud, spin up fast, and we know will be reliable. Our Spectrum
Accelerate clusters are outperforming our original on-premise
arrays.”
