Chapter 2 IN THIS CHAPTER » Learning the basics of hyperconverged infrastructure » Defining next-generation hyperconverged infrastructure » Enabling the enterprise cloud with next-generation hyperconverged infrastructure Defining and Extending Hyperconverged Infrastructure H yperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has matured rapidly over the past decade. Early iterations of the technology, although fantastic, don't hold a candle to what's possible with current solutions. In this chapter, you learn about the basics of HCI and its evolution to a next-generation solution for today and the future. Discovering Hyperconverged Infrastructure HCI is basically a conglomeration of servers for compute, stor- age, and a hypervisor. This is what you might call "HCI 1.0," with newer versions following quickly.
