HCI is More Than a Blip on GigaOm's Radar
Blocks&Files, February 6th, 2023
GigaOm's latest HCI report for enterprises shows Nutanix ahead of VMware, Cisco falling behind and two new challengers. The analyst house has also posted new SMB and Edge HCI Radar reports.
HCI (hyperconverged infrastructure) appliances are servers operated via a hypervisor with network links and storage included. The systems operate in clusters, adding nodes to scale out resources as needed. The market leading VxRail systems from Dell have a PowerEdge server with VMware's vSphere hypervisor and vSAN storage. GigaOm's Radar reports set market presence aside and evaluate systems based on their technical merits.
