Adam Carter, Chief Architect at NetApp, leads an in-depth comparison and discussion of HCI architectures. He covers the three architectural approaches that cover the current HCI vendors in the market: Hypervisor on bare metal and storage as a virtual machine, Hypervisor and storage on shared bare metal, Hypervisor and storage as independent systems.

He discusses how each architecture emphasizes intellectual property that vendor had when they entered into the HCI market. The presentation lays out the pros and cons of each architectural approach. The presentation ends with the unique advantages of a independent HCI architecture approach. NetApp HCI advantages include scale out, flexibility of scale, predictable performance, fewer software licenses, Enterprise SAN with no penalties and Hybrid Cloud use cases through NetApp Data Fabric with AWS, Azure, Google and IBM Cloud.

Personnel: Adam Carter, Andy Banta
