What is converged infrastructure?
How the analysts define it
“Combinations of server, storage and network infrastructures,
Gartner
sold with management software that facilitates the
provisioning and management of the combined unit.“
“A pre-configured and/or pre-validated combination
TBR
of compute, storage, networking and system
management software”.”
“Pre-integrated, vendor-certified systems containing server
IDC
hardware, disk storage systems, networking equipment,
and basic element/systems management software.
Dell World 2014
In essence,
it is servers,
storage and
networking
integrated
and managed
together
