Hyperconverged Infrastructure Data Centers: Demystifying HCI
Hyperconverged Infrastructure Data Centers: Demystifying HCI
This book approaches the HCI topic from the point of view that any individual working this field needs to have enough knowledge in all the different areas such as storage, storage networking, compute, virtualisation, switching and routing and automation. The book will explain each area in the context of a legacy data centre design, detailing the problem statement for the particular technology and how HCI solves the problem and to what extent. Equipped with such knowledge the IT professional whether at a technical or management level will be well prepared to evaluate the need to move into the HCI and to find the best approach and timeline to move from a legacy data centre design to an HCI design.

Artikelbeschreibung
In Hyperconverged Infrastructure Data Centers, best-selling author Sam Halabi demystifies HCI technology, outlines its use cases, and compares solutions from a vendor-neutral perspective. He guides you through evaluation, planning, implementation, and management, helping you decide where HCI makes sense, and how to migrate legacy data centers without disrupting production systems.
The author brings together all the HCI knowledge technical professionals and IT managers need, whether their background is in storage, compute, virtualization, switching/routing, automation, or public cloud platforms. He explores leading solutions including the Cisco HyperFlex platform, VMware vSAN, Nutanix Enterprise Cloud, Cisco Application-Centric Infrastructure (ACI), VMware’s NSX, the open source OpenStack and Open vSwitch (OVS) / Open Virtual Network (OVN), and Cisco CloudCenter for multicloud management.
As you explore discussions of automation, policy management, and other key HCI capabilities, you’ll discover powerful new opportunities to improve control, security, agility, and performance.
- Understand and overcome key limits of traditional data center designs
- Discover improvements made possible by advances in compute, bus interconnect, virtualization, and software-defined storage
- Simplify rollouts, management, and integration with converged infrastructure (CI) based on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
- Explore HCI functionality, advanced capabilities, and benefits
- Evaluate key HCI applications, including DevOps, virtual desktops, ROBO, edge computing, Tier 1 enterprise applications, backup, and disaster recovery
- Simplify application deployment and policy setting by implementing a new model for provisioning, deployment, and management
- Plan, integrate, deploy, provision, manage, and optimize the Cisco HyperFlex hyperconverged infrastructure platform
- Assess alternatives such as VMware vSAN, Nutanix, open source OpenStack, and OVS/OVN, and compare architectural differences with HyperFlex
- Compare Cisco ACI (Application- Centric Infrastructure) and VMware NSX approaches to network automation, policies, and security
