While HCI is certainly innovative in design, its true measure lies in the practical benefits it brings to data center management and operations.
Composable Infrastructure
By deploying HCI as the underpinnings of fully virtualized infrastructure, organizations make it easier to manage that infrastructure as services to be mixed and matched rather than systems linked inexorably to hardware. As new HCI modules are plugged into the environment, they can join the federated pool of resources without the lengthy, complicated provisioning and integration tasks of current infrastructure.
