Nutanix Expands Hyperconvergence Footprint
Storage servers in their many forms are rapidly making traditional storage arrays, with their custom electronics, a thing of the past, and hyperconverged server-SAN hybrids are a hot commodity in the enterprise datacenter because they radically simplify virtualized infrastructure and deliver some of the operational benefits that hyperscalers have created for their own converged infrastructure. …
