Hyper-converged infrastructureis a software-defined infrastructure that tightly-integrates storage, compute, networking and virtualization resources into a single system. This type of infrastructure leverages existing IT framework by combining its storage, computing, and networking resources into a single system to reduce its complexity and increase scalability. Hyper-converged infrastructure as a platform include a primary hypervisor that virtualizes computing & networking, and software-defined storage.Risein need to use commodity hardwarethat issupported by a single vendor, results to a flexible and simpler to manage infrastructure design, which is a hyper-converged infrastructure benefit that has led to increase in adoption among various enterprises.
Increase in demand for data protection and disaster recovery among data center organizations is a major factor expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. Moreover, rise in need to reduce Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditure (OPEX) major data center oriented industry is leveraging hyper-converged infrastructureas it lowers cost of acquisition due to availability of commodity hardware. Proliferation of virtualization products and services has further boosted the growth of the market as it helps to reduce the cost and complexity associated with a virtual desktop infrastructure rollout. However, hardware-based IT organizations find it difficult to migrate to cloud computing and virtualization due to vendor lock-in situation which is a major factor expected to hamper the growth of the market to a certain extent. Furthermore, increase in investments in developing data center infrastructures across developing economies is an opportunistic factor of the global market.
