Hyper-Converged Infrastructures: The Answer to the Complexity of IT Systems?

Over the next 3 years, more than 750 million new applications will hit the market... and nobody can predict what those applications will look like.

In this episode, Lee Caswell, SVP of Product and Solutions Marketing at Nutanix, introduces Hyper-Converged Infrastructures: a groundbreaking solution that integrates computing, storage, and networking into a single system to reduce complexity and improve scalability. Reflecting on his tenure at VMware, Caswell also offers insights into VMware's current state post-Broadcom acquisition and its future in the virtualization and cloud market, as well as how businesses often find themselves with inefficiently organized multi-cloud setups and what they can do about it.

You'll learn:

  1. What is a hyper-converged infrastructure?
  2. How to deal with 'accidental hybrid multi-cloud environments'
  3. How the VMWare acquisition is affecting the enterprise IT world
