Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) is a game-changer in the world of data centers. It unifies storage, compute, and networking into one coherent system that can be managed either locally or from the cloud. While embracing HCI, you can experience the simplicity, agility, and scalability of the cloud without surrendering control or loss of the ability to scale.

Renowned author Sam Halabi demystifies HCI and comprehensively takes you through its use cases. In “Hyperconverged Infrastructure Data Centers,” the author discusses evaluation, planning, implementation, and management. Even if your background is in storage, compute, virtualization, switching, routing, automation, or public cloud platforms, he guides you through everything you need to know about HCI technology. The book is vendor-neutral and explores leading solutions available in the market. It covers Cisco HyperFlex platform, VMware vSAN, Nutanix Enterprise Cloud, VMware’s NSX, OpenStack, Open vSwitch (OVS), and Open Virtual Network (OVN), and Cisco CloudCenter for multicloud management. The book explores automation, policy management, and other key HCI capabilities in detail, exposing better ways to control, secure, improve agility, and performance.

The book helps you:

• Understand and overcome the limitations of traditional data center designs
• Explore improvements made possible by advances in compute, bus interconnect, virtualization, and software-defined storage
• Simplify deployments, management, and integration with converged infrastructure (CI) based on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS)
• Discover HCI functionality, advanced capabilities, and benefits
• Evaluate key HCI applications such as 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

This book is part of the Networking Technology Series from Cisco Press. It provides networking professionals with valuable information to construct efficient networks and understand new technologies to build successful careers.
