What is hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) ?

In this video, we take a closer look at Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) and try to answer the question: what is hyper converged infrastructure?

StoneFly, Inc. has been offering hyper converged storage since 2010 with purpose-built HCI appliances such as the Unified Storage and Server (USS) and the disaggregated high availability (HA) configuration – USS-HA.

The USS or USS-HA hyper converged systems combine storage, compute, virtualization and networking in an easy-to-manage and highly scalable infrastructure. For virtualization, users can install industry standard hypervisors such as VMware, Hyper-V, KVM or XenServer, on the hyper converged infrastructure.
Powered by StoneFly’s patented storage OS (SCVM), the hyperconverged infrastructure offer a wide range of features and data services built to facilitate the most demanding of enterprise environments.
Standard data protection features include:
• Immutable delta-based snapshots (also mountable)
• WORM (Write-Once Read-Many) volumes for compliance
• Built-in anti-virus and anti-ransomware for virtual NAS (vNAS) volumes
• Built-in Air Gap technology
Storage optimization features include:
• Deduplication
• Automated tiering
• Flash Cache (SSD Caching)
Other standard features include:
• Virtual NAS (vNAS), virtual SAN (vSAN), virtual S3 or local S3 storage provisioning
• Online volume creation and scaling
• Built-in cloud connect to Azure, AWS, or StoneFly private cloud, or any other S3 compatible cloud
