Advantages of Hyper converged Storage Environment for the Enterprises

The suitability of a storage solution depends on the requirements of a business. We can see a solution’s advantages in accordance to in how many use cases and scenarios a specific solution is best suitable. In this article, we are going to discuss some of the advantages of a hyper converged storage environment.


Hyper converged Storage Environment is Exclusively Yours


Hyper converged storage environment also has several advantages which suit many enterprises which are looking for a single tenant environment in which they can have an exclusive single tenant like environment. The advantage of this type of environment is that all the available resources are dedicated to the client as there is no other client sharing any resource.


Configure Your Storage Environment the Way You Want it


Hyper converged storage environment allows you to configure the storage as you want it. It is a designated environment for you, so that you can do the customization on your storage resources and environment. This allows enterprises to experience a fully customized storage solution which would best suit their expectations. 


Hyper converged Storage Offers more security


Due to the reason that hyper converged storage offers a single tenant environment, it has lesser risks of data breach or any other kind of incident that pose a threat on the data accessibility and availability. It is not a shared environment so there is no one else using the resources, hence there are lesser chances of any breach. It is therefore, very much secure as compared to virtual or other environments.

Powerful CPUs Are Supported


A dedicated hyper converged storage environment supports the powerful machines like Xeon or Intel processors which are scalable and high performance processors. It makes an enterprise better equipped with arsenal to survive the tough competitive battle in the data storage and backup industry.

Hyper converged storage does Not have a Noisy Neighborhood 


A hyper converged storage environment does not have the resources shared by more than one tenants, therefore there are no chances of having noise. Having noise in neighborhood refers to a situation where the resources of a cloud computing environment like bandwidth, input and output resources and CPU are shared among the tenants, resulting in lower performance of the one or some of the tenants.


Hyper converged storage environment on the other hand is free from this noise because there is no sharing of resources. All the resources are dedicated to an individual client/tenant.


Conclusion


Hyper converged storage environment allows the data to reside in a relaxed manner where the owner of the data is also in full control over it, given the customization options and exclusivity an enterprise has over the resources. Not sharing the data storage and backup resources with anyone can never feel bad as it optimizes the performance and avoids problems like latency etc.
