Hyperconverged, Interrupted

New 451 Research shows a changed landscape of the Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) market. A market that started out as a unicorn startup-led technology outside the data center is now seeing quick adoption in the core data center where 150 customers a week are selecting VMware vSAN for enterprise reliability, performance, and management.

Computer history buffs need look no further than blade servers to see how early innovation in server form factors by startups like RLX, Egenera, and Rackable Systems faded to black once enterprise server companies injected enterprise value and a profitable business model into the market.

The chart above is an inspiring reminder of how customers embrace new technologies in the data center. For our 17,000 vSAN customers, we thank you. All of VMware's 23,000 employees are working to make vSAN an indispensable part of your company's hybrid cloud strategy.
