What are the advantages of hyper-converged architecture?

The main difference between hyper-converged architecture and traditional architecture lies in distributed storage and centralized storage, and the corresponding hardware/management, which will bring great differences in performance, scalability, stability, reliability, operation and maintenance simplification and so on. The specific advantages are as follows:

Physical integration and management integration: the hyper-integrated architecture integrates servers, networks and storage and carries them on a unified management platform for maintenance; Traditional architecture is completely separated.

Storage architecture: Hyperconvergence uses distributed storage, while traditional architecture uses centralized storage.

Network: Hyperconvergence adopts 10 Gigabit Ethernet, while traditional architecture mostly adopts optical fiber switches.

Reliability: It can be seen that hyper-converged architecture has great advantages in reliability, but in fact all the advantages here are what distributed storage itself should have.

Performance: Superconvergence has obvious architectural advantages in performance. Of course, the cost is the consumption of computing resources, so the consumption of computing resources is an important factor to test the specialty of superconvergence.

Scalability: Hyperconverged architecture has strong scalability, simple and rapid expansion, and the system complexity will not increase with the increase of expansion.

Deployment and operation: Compared with the traditional architecture, it has super-integrated layout, simple maintenance and a certain degree of intelligent operation and maintenance.

Which brand has high recognition of hyper-converged architecture?

There are professional third-party reports. The major foreign nutanix, VMware and domestic companies can refer to the latest 20 19Gartner report on hyper-converged competition pattern in China, which contains comments on domestic mainstream hyper-converged manufacturers including SmartX, and the recognition is not bad.
