Key Requirements of Hyperconvergence

Hyper-Efficient Resources

• Up to 100:1 data efficiency while increasing performance• Accelerator Card: deduplicate, compress, optimize all

data, inline, at inception, once and forever, globally• All x86 processors are reserved for production VMs

instead of separate infrastructure applications

• All managed from a single pane of glass • VM-centric management, policy, and mobility, globally

Global Unified Management

The Best of Both Worlds• x86 cloud economics• Enterprise capabilities: performance, data protection,

data efficiency, global unified management

Assimilate all IT below the Hypervisor• Single shared resource pool from a single vendor• The entire stack including native data protection
