\"Solutions_Review_Finds_300_2\"Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions deliver compute, storage, networking, and cloud management from a single instantiation running on server hardware. HCI software was initially used as an alternative to costly and complicated storage arrays for VMware environments. These tools, formerly referred to as hyperconverged integrated systems (HCIS), were mainly sold as appliances by a single hardware provider. However, as the market has evolved a distinction between HCIS and HCI has developed.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are plenty of free resources available online (such as Solutions Review\u2019s <\/span>Data Storage Buyer\u2019s Guide,<\/a><\/span> Data Protection Buyer\u2019s Guide,<\/a><\/span> Data Protection Vendor Comparison Map, <\/a><\/span><\/i><\/b>and <\/span>best practices section<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/span>), <\/span><\/i>but sometimes it\u2019s best to do things the old-fashioned way. There are few resources that can match the in-depth, comprehensive detail of a book targeted specifically at hyperconverged infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

The editors at Solutions Review have done much of the work for you, curating this list of the best hyperconverged infrastructure books available on Amazon. These books have been selected based on the total number and quality of user reviews, as well as their ability to add business value.<\/span><\/p>\n

OUR TAKE:\u00a0<\/strong>This book from Philip M. Parker was developed for global strategic planners who are not content with traditional approaches to segmenting world markets. This report covers the HCI market of the top 2,000 cities across more than 200 countries.<\/h4>\n

\"The<\/a>Description:\u00a0<\/strong>“In this report, we define the sales of hyper-converged infrastructure as including all commonly understood products falling within this broad category, such as VMware, KVM, and hyper-v hypervisors and hypervisors used for virtual desktop infrastructure, server virtualization, robo, data protection, and cloud, irrespective of product packaging, formulation, size, or form. Companies participating in this industry include Vmware, Nutanix, Simplivity Corporation, Scale Computing, Pivot3, and Maxta. In addition to the sources indicated, additional information available to the public via news and\/or press releases published by players in the industry was considered in defining and calibrating this category.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
