Hyperconvergence represents a major technology development capable of transforming the data center into a lean, green, efficiency machine. By converging all IT below the hypervisor, hyperconvergence immediately makes the data center more efficient and environmentally sound. The data center goes from eight to 12 disparate IT components to a single solution, so there is no longer a need to utilize storage space, power resources, or cooling functions on these IT components. In fact, according to an April 2016 IDC White Paper1 sponsored by SimpliVity, 75% of respondents realized an average of a 65% improvement in utilization of storage resources as a result of SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure. In addition, 48% of surveyed customers realized a 47% reduction in cost of data center power and cooling expenses.
