8. Simple scalability and expansion
Hyper-converged infrastructure has many advantages
Simple scalability and expansion
Buy what you need today, reduce CapEx
Scale by adding servers, one by one
Cloud-inspired architecture enables near-limitless scale
Built-in balancing makes planning easy
Unified management
This is what we’ll show today…
End-to-end visibility across the whole stack
Consistent, unified experience across compute, networking, storage
Lower costs
No proprietary hardware or vendor lock-in
Choice of industry-standard servers and components
Reduce datacenter footprint and power and cooling cost
Innovate faster
100x more servers sold every year than storage arrays
Innovations come to Windows Server first
Semi-annual cadence to deliver even faster
Join the Windows Insider program!
Single vendor
Single source for procurement
Single point of support
Pre-validated, no integration work
With Windows, no separate licenses, and included guests!
