What are the advantages of hyper-converged all-in-one PCs? Are there advantages to Lenovo hyper-converged all-in-one PCs and traditional IT architectures?

Talking about the advantages of hyper-converged all-in-one PCs you have to talk about the advantages of hyper-convergence first, after all, hyper-converged all-in-one PCs are a combination of hardware and software.

Advantages of hyper-convergence

Physical convergence and management convergence: hyper-converged architectures converge servers, networks, and storage, and carry them on a unified management platform for maintenance; whereas traditional architectures are all separate.

Storage architecture: hyper-converged uses distributed storage, while traditional architectures use centralized storage.

Network: Hyper-converged uses 10Gb Ethernet, while traditional architectures mostly use fiber optic switches.

Reliability: You can see that the hyper-converged architecture has a huge advantage in terms of reliability, but in fact the advantages here are all distributed storage itself should have.

Performance: Hyper-converged architecture in terms of performance advantages are very obvious, of course, the price is to consume computing resources, so the consumption of computing resources is an important factor in testing the professionalism of hyper-converged.

Expandability: hyper-converged architecture is scalable, expansion is simple and fast, the complexity of the system will not increase with the increase in expansion.

Deployment and operation and maintenance: relative to the traditional architecture, hyper-converged layout, maintenance is simple, and can be intelligent operation and maintenance to a certain extent.

Advantages of hyper-converged all-in-one

Hyper-converged all-in-one refers to the out-of-the-box, all-in-one delivery method provided by vendors based on customer demand and their own product strategy, which includes software and x86 servers selected and adapted by the vendor. Out-of-the-box, all-in-one delivery is its biggest advantage. The advantages are more obvious in terms of simplified deployment and maintenance, as well as availability and reliability. Specifically as follows:

Simplified deployment, accelerated business uptime

Previously, when enterprises deployed their own IT systems, they often needed to purchase different equipment, and the installation and debugging process was relatively long, and would even affect the business uptime. With hyper-converged all-in-one PCs, enterprises only need to purchase one such product, and the installation and debugging process is very convenient, greatly simplifying the deployment difficulty and accelerating the business uptime.

Reduces the difficulty and cost of operation and maintenance

Previously, a company would need as many different specialized technicians as there were different kinds of hardware devices. With hyper-converged All-in-One PCs, the difficulty of managing the system is reduced, and a single technician can handle it with ease, which reduces the difficulty and cost of operation and maintenance.

Improved reliability and availability

Hyper-converged All-in-One is much lower in terms of device failures, and even if there are problems, they are relatively easy and fast to solve, which improves its reliability and availability.

Savings

Hyper-converged all-in-one machines are sold at a much lower price point compared to the purchase price of an IT system consisting of multiple devices.
