The Solution is HCI
HCI revolutionizes the data center, bringing all the
benefits of server virtualization to storage. It is
composed of two essential elements: hyper-converged
software and industry-standard hardware. Together
they provide the performance, flexibility, and efficiency
that budget-conscious, resource-starved IT
departments crave.
VMware HCS is a single HCI software stack that
seamlessly integrates management, compute, storage
and networking capabilities onto industry-standard x86
hardware to deliver high performance and low cost.

vSphere and vCenter Server —
deployed on the broadest choice
of industry-standard x86 building
blocks. vSphere, the industryleading virtualization platform with
over 500,000 customers,1 abstracts
and aggregates compute and
memory resources to provide
powerful server virtualization, while
Virtual SAN, the only vSphereembedded storage solution, pools
server-attached storage to create a
high performance, resilient, shared
storage optimized for virtual
machines. vCenter Server delivers
the unified and extensible
management solution.
