How Does Hyperconverged Infrastructure Work?
Four tightly integrated software components make up a hyperconverged platform:
• Storage virtualization
• Compute virtualization
• Networking virtualization
• Advanced management capabilities including automation
The virtualization software abstracts and pools underlying resources, then dynamically allocates them to applications running in VMs or containers. Configuration is based on policies aligned with the applications, eliminating the need for complicated constructs like LUNs and volumes.
DHCI takes hyperconverged further
Get all the simplicity and ease-of-use that you love about HCI — but for all your apps. HPE Nimble Storage disaggregated HCI (dHCI) delivers a hyperconverged experience that includes business-critical speed and resiliency alongside independent scaling of compute and storage.
Effortless hyperconverged agility that you can consume as-a-service.
Nimble Storage dHCI drives more resiliency for your apps, more performance at scale, and more efficiency for your wallet. And lets VM administrators unlock agility and accelerate time to market on a platform designed for business-critical application and mixed workloads.
And now dHCI is available through pay-as-you-grow services, delivering virtual machine as a service that accelerates time to value and simplifies IT management
It’s the cloud experience and then some
Leverage all the cloud advantages of self-service IT, automation, simplicity, and elasticity — but with better resiliency, performance, and efficiency. Take advantage of flexible, independent scaling, and rely on the industry-leading intelligence of HPE Infosight for self-managing, self-optimizing operations
Unlock the potential of hybrid cloud
Maximize your agility and IT resources both on-prem and in the cloud with HPE Cloud Volumes, a suite of enterprise cloud data services that seamlessly enables a true hybrid cloud experience in your environment. Protect data in the cloud instantly with HPE Cloud Volumes and then unleash the value of your data by accessing the compute of any cloud.
Leverage the most advanced AI in the industry
Traditional HCI is great for Day 0 and Day 1 — speeding deployments and getting apps up and running — but for Day 2 and beyond, you need AI-driven intelligence to say goodbye to fighting fires. HPE Nimble Storage dHCI embeds HPE Infosight, the industry’s most advanced AI for infrastructure, for predictive analytics that diagnose and resolve issues so you don’t have to.
HCI delivers simplicity and agility, and now it’s time to bring that experience to your business with HCI 2.0.

Nutanix delivers a web-scale, hyperconverged infrastructure solution purpose-built for virtualization and both containerized and private cloud environments. This solution brings the scale, resilience, and economic benefits of web-scale architecture to the enterprise through the Nutanix enterprise cloud platform, which combines the core HCI product families—Nutanix AOS and Nutanix Prism management—along with other software products that automate, secure, and back up cost-optimized infrastructure.
Available attributes of the Nutanix enterprise cloud OS stack include:
• Optimized for storage and compute resources.
• Machine learning to plan for and adapt to changing conditions automatically.
• Intrinsic security features and functions for data protection and cyberthreat defense.
• Self-healing to tolerate and adjust to component failures.
• API-based automation and rich analytics.
• Simplified one-click upgrades and software life cycle management.
• Native file services for user and application data.
• Native backup and disaster recovery solutions.
• Powerful and feature-rich virtualization.
• Flexible virtual networking for visualization, automation, and security.
• Cloud automation and life cycle management.
The Nutanix enterprise cloud is compute agnostic, providing the flexibility to choose the hypervisor and cloud service combination that suits your needs today, as well as the freedom to move workloads on demand. The native hypervisor for the Nutanix solution is AHV, which lets administrators unbox a Nutanix system and immediately start loading VMs with enterprise-class virtualization capabilities at no extra cost.
Nutanix HCI Architecture
Nutanix does not rely on traditional SAN or network-attached storage (NAS) or expensive storage network interconnects. It combines highly dense storage and server compute (CPU and RAM) into a single platform building block. Each building block delivers a unified, scale-out, shared-nothing architecture with no single points of failure.
