6. Benefits
Elasticity: Hyperconvergence makes it easy to scale out/ in resources as required by business demands.
VM-centricity: A focus on the virtual machine (VM) or workload as the cornerstone of enterprise IT, with all supporting constructs revolving around individual VMs.
Data protection: Ensuring that data can be restored in the event of loss or corruption is a key IT requirement, made far easier by hyperconverged infrastructure.
VM Mobility: Hyperconvergence enables greater application/workload mobility.
High availability: Hyperconvergence enables higher levels of availability than possible in legacy systems.
Data efficiency: Hyperconverged infrastructure reduces storage, bandwidth, and IOPS requirements.
Cost efficiency: Hyperconverged infrastructure brings to IT a sustainable step-based economic model that eliminates waste.
