Hyperconverged Infrastructure at the Edge
The IDC Perspective report, Hyperconverged Infrastructure Use Will Continue to Grow in Edge Environments (doc #US46034120, December 2022), on hyperconverged infrastructure at the edge is out, delving into the marketplace, and what businesses looking to deploy this technology at their own edge sites should be looking for in their chosen vendors’ offerings. Growing fast, hyperconverged infrastructure can help businesses tackle the many edge problems like managing and protecting the vast swathes of data coming in from the edge.
But this explosion in hyperconverged solutions for the edge has created potential confusion for customers thanks to the overwhelming number of offerings now available, all promising to be the best fit for their organization. To help provide some clarity over what constitutes a good HCI solution for the edge, IDC recommends the following:
● Customers should keep an eye out for the latest developments, including ruggedized appliances designed for harsh environments.
● Seek out products that offer flexible deployment and unified cloud-based management options across core, edge, and hybrid multi-cloud environments to more effectively manage unstructured data from workloads such as analytics and AI.
● Carefully assess edge workloads from a performance standpoint and seek out options with the latest CPU/GPU options, fast flash-based solid state drives (SDDs), and high-speed networking if your edge appliances require high IOPS and low latency.
