Fujitsu and NetApp Partner on Converged Infrastructure
Fujitsu | November 03, 2017
While a growing number of data center technology vendors are turning their focus to hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) products, Fujitsu and NetApp have partnered on a converged infrastructure (CI) system that will ship in early 2018. CI, the precursor to HCI, combines compute, storage, and networking into a single appliance. HCI also integrates compute, storage, and networking, but it’s software-defined and usually controlled by a hypervisor. This makes it more scalable and agile than CI. In fact, HCI is the fastest growing segment in the data center space.
