The Year of Automation and Intelligence for Hyperconverged Systems

Bruce Milne is Vice President and CMO at Pivot3. Another year ends, another round of predictions begins. Looking back to the widespread adoption of virtualization and blade consolidation of the mid-2000s – which reduced and simplified IT environments and paved the way for converged infrastructure – it's clear we've come a long way. Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) hardware-based appliances came next, and have since evolved into more software-defined infrastructure platforms. This has transformed HCI into becoming the platform for supporting hybrid cloud mobility and autonomous workload acceleration.
