\"TheSolutions Review\u2019s listing of the best hyperconverged infrastructure solutions is an annual mashup of products that best represent current market conditions, according to the crowd. Our editors selected the best hyperconverged infrastructure solutions based on each platform\u2019s Authority Score, a meta-analysis of real user sentiment through the web\u2019s most trusted business software review sites, and our own proprietary five-point inclusion criteria.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

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

All HCI solutions include a specific set of capabilities, including virtual compute, storage, and networking, using a scale-out, shared-nothing architecture. Additionally, HCI software includes unified management, local direct-attached storage (DAS) in each node, high availability, data services, and a level of choice of server and network hardware. Some of these features may be enabled by hypervisors, management tools, and networking, or via a storage platform combined with third-party software providers to complete the software stack. Additionally, some HCI providers have begun to offer cloud services.<\/span><\/p>\n

The editors at Solutions Review have developed this resource to assist buyers in search of the best hyperconverged infrastructure solutions and platforms to fit the needs of their organization. Choosing the right vendor and solution can be a complicated process \u2014 one that requires in-depth research and often comes down to more than just the solution and its technical capabilities. To make your search a little easier, we\u2019ve profiled the best <\/span>hyperconverged infrastructure solutions<\/b><\/a><\/span> all in one place.
