19. THIS SEEMS
COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT FROM
OUR CURRENT
ENVIRONMENT—
BETTER, BUT HOW
CAN WE AFFORD
TO REPLACE IT
WITH ALL THIS
NEW STUFF?
It's easy to get started with HCI, because there
isn't a massive up-front investment required like
with traditional infrastructure. Some organizations
choose to rip off the band-aid and upgrade their
whole infrastructure in one shot, but many start
off with a set of urgent or historically problematic
use cases and expand from there. With HCI,
you can start at any size and scale out
seamlessly as needed.
18. MY WHOLE TEAM ARE EXPERTS WITH
OUR EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, HOW
DIFFICULT WILL IT BE FOR US TO
MASTER HCI?
Hyperconverged infrastructure was developed to simplify operations by decreasing the number
of layers that need to be separately administered and by automating processes that traditionally
require deep expertise, like deployments, upgrades, and LUN design. This means your team will have
fewer moving pieces to manage, enabling them to attack the backlog and take on new projects
instead of putting out fires.
HCI solutions integrate seamlessly with your existing management infrastructure, easing the transition
into the new architecture. HCI has permeated the market so rapidly in large part because of how easy
it is to learn and adopt - this is one of the reasons why customer satisfaction is so high.
