Gabriel Chapman, Senior Manager with NetApp HCI, presents NetApp’s recent entry into the hyperconverged infrastructure market. He starts by outlining the challenges of HCI, which sits at the inflection point between traditional infrastructure and the cloud. He then discusses how the first generation of HCI made trade offs to be feasible. This then leads into a discussion of NetApps particular HCI architecture, which leverages SolidFire storage nodes and NetApp designed compute nodes to run VMware ESXi hosts. This serves as the basis for serving both integrated data services and NetApp’s Data Fabric services.
