What is a hyperconverged appliance (HCI appliance)? A hyperconverged appliance (HCI appliance) is a hardware device that provides multiple data center management technologies within a single box. Hyperconverged systems are characterized by a software-centric architecture that tightly integrates compute, storage, networking and virtualization resources and other technologies. At one time, these systems were based on […]
Your operating environment is as important to system availability as reliable power and software. If you follow the latest industry recommendations, you can preserve your operation and save energy. There are three major factors that affect your data center operating environment and server temperature: inlet air temperature, humidity, and particulate and gaseous contaminants. The American […]
Hyper-converged infrastructure technology has taken big strides since emerging more than a decade ago, finding a home in data centers looking to ease procurement headaches and management chores. Vendors originally positioned the technology as a simple-to-deploy, all-in-one offering that combined compute, storage and networking with a hypervisor. The essential selling points around simplicity remain the […]
What is an HDD form factor (hard disk drive form factor)? HDD form factor (hard disk drive form factor) is the size or geometry of a data storage device equipped with one or more magnetic-coated spinning platters and one or more moving actuator arms with magnetic heads to read and write information. The form factor […]
