Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software Maturing
Four Dominant Use Cases Drive Adoption
Gartner Recognizes Microsoft, VMware as Leaders
The hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) software market is maturing, with four dominant use cases driving adoption: remote office/branch office (ROBO), disaster recovery, edge computing, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
In response to customer demand for cloud-like agility and scalability, HCI software stacks are now supporting infrastructure that spans compute, storage, and networking. This convergence is simplifying IT operations and reducing costs.
Microsoft and VMware have been recognized as Leaders in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure. Both vendors offer comprehensive HCI software solutions that cover the four dominant use cases.
According to Gartner, the HCI market is expected to grow from $5.7 billion in 2022 to $12.1 billion by 2026. This growth is being driven by the increasing adoption of cloud-based applications and the need for agile, scalable infrastructure.
Conclusion: The HCI software market is on the rise, as businesses seek to simplify their IT operations and reduce costs. By supporting a wide range of use cases and offering comprehensive solutions, vendors like Microsoft and VMware are well-positioned to capitalize on this growth.
