Is hyperconvergence finally making data centers more efficient?
HCI 1.0 introduced data centers to the notion of managing compute, storage, and memory like commodities for each application. It seemed to be a radical new concept. Then containerization introduced the same concept, but more successfully. HCI 2.0 attempted something of a course change. Then came HCI 3.0, and for some, some subsequent permutations even then. Hyperconvergence looks a lot like container orchestration now, but perhaps it still does the job it set out to do in the beginning. ZDNet's Scott Fulton reports.
