Key Requirements of Hyperconvergence
Hyper-Efficient Resources
• Up to 100:1 data efficiency while increasing performance
• Accelerator Card: deduplicate, compress, optimize all
data, inline, at inception, once and forever, globally
• All x86 processors are reserved for production VMs
instead of separate infrastructure applications
• All managed from a single pane of glass
• VM-centric management, policy, and mobility, globally
Global Unified Management
The Best of Both Worlds
• x86 cloud economics
• Enterprise capabilities: performance, data protection,
data efficiency, global unified management
Assimilate all IT below the Hypervisor
• Single shared resource pool from a single vendor
• The entire stack including native data protection
