When we all decided to adopt virtualization we had some clear benefits in mind, and those boil down fundamentally to better resource utilization, reduced datacenter footprint, energy-saving, faster server provisioning, increased uptime, improved disaster recovery, isolated applications, extend the life of older applications and workload portability.

Chasing Data Center Efficiency with Hyper-Convergence

In recent times a lot has been deliberated on Convergence and Hyper-Converged infrastructure topics, but these topics are not new for large-scale web companies. Years ago large-scale web companies started to face pressure from business to deliver better service agility at lower costs.
