Converged Systems industry in our digital-driven era

For those who are unfamiliar, integrated infrastructure, certified reference systems, integrated platforms, and hyperconverged systems are part of Converged Systems industry.

Integrated infrastructure and certified reference systems are pre-integrated, vendor-certified systems containing server hardware, disk storage systems, networking equipment, and basic element/systems management software.

Integrated Platforms are integrated systems that are sold with additional pre-integrated packaged software and customized system engineering optimized to enable such functions as application development software, databases, testing, and integration tools.

Hyperconverged systems collapse core storage and compute functionality into a single, highly virtualized solution. A key characteristic of hyperconverged systems that differentiate these solutions from other integrated systems is their scale-out architecture and their ability to provide all compute and storage functions through the same x86 server-based resources.

Dell Technologies is one of the largest suppliers of this combined market segment.
