A modern datacentre is pivotal to the success of digital transformation, business operations and business outcomes. Modern datacentres provide the infrastructure to expand, manage high volumes of apps and data, increase efficiencies and help secure your estate.
However, the silos created by traditional datacentre infrastructure often present barriers to change and progress, adding complexity to every stage of the data cycle.
That’s why many organisations are adopting a hyperconverged approach.
HCI converges compute, storage, and management resources to a single industry standard x86 server, forming a seamless, software defined environment. HCI is simple to use and manage, does not require specialists, and is far more cost-effective and cost-predictable than many traditional solutions.
Trustmarque’s HCI solutions help you to adopt and accelerate your datacentre modernisation
We work with Hyper Convergence leaders like Dell EMC, VMWare and Nutanix to help you create a seamless softwaredefined environment to streamline your data infrastructure.
Our HCI solutions are simple to use and manage (they do not require specialists) and are designed to give you:
Operational simplicity
Cost savings with lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Greater agility and scalability
Trustmarque HCI solutions are delivered on fully integrated, pre-configured, and pre-tested hardware, commodity servers or as software to run on your own infrastructure.
Key technology partners
We work across a wide vendor network including Hyper Converged leaders like:
Better Outcomes
Operational Simplicity: HCI reduces operational costs with a tightly-integrated hardware and software solution that eliminates the complexities associated with fiber channel networks, purpose-built storage, and complex LUN planning. A single IT team can now monitor and manage the compute and storage resources in less time, freeing personnel to focus on other strategic priorities.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): HCI lowers CAPEX by using a scale-up/scale-out architecture with industry-standard x86 servers. IT can buy the compute and storage they need for a short period of time and add capacity as needed, either by adding storage drives to existing nodes (scale-up) or nodes to a cluster (scale-out).
Greater Agility: HCI delivers day 0 support for the latest technologies, providing the agility to increase application performance, from business-critical applications to VDI, without a major infrastructure change.
Nearly all modern hyperconverged infrastructure solutions are 100% software defined, with no dependency on proprietary hardware. Each resource or ‘building block’ runs a hypervisor (Nutanix AHV, VMware ESXi, or Microsoft Hyper-V), and forms a distributed fabric that can scale through the addition of new nodes.
New nodes with compute, storage and networking resources can be added to the overall storage pool to be shared among the VMs.
Unified view
Single view management provides a comprehensive window on the state of your overall IT environment by integrating and presenting data from various data sources in a console that unifies setup, configuration, management and monitoring.
Security and protection at the core
HCI solutions incorporate data protection like mirroring and replication at the core, for reliability and data reduction purposes. You can also take advantage of backup and recovery, disaster recovery (DR) and other business continuity (BC) features.
Automation
Vendor software often includes support for automation, VM migration, management tools, load and resource balancing, and the ability to implement rolling updates while VMs continue to run. Automatic failover means losing a node or storage device won’t bring down individual VMs or the system as a whole.
Additional features of HCI
Run Business Critical Applications Run your most critical business applications like Oracle, Exchange and SAP with enterprise reliability, security and performance.
Remote management Manage your remote and branch offices with minimal to no local IT staff. HCI offers simple, cost-effective solutions that can be centrally managed from the main datacentre.
Disaster Recovery Protect data, lower infrastructure costs and simplify disaster recovery (DR) operations and management via remote DR sites.
Virtual Desktop Infrastructures Reduce physical infrastructure costs by starting small and growing in a non-disruptive way with the needs of the business.
