What is VMware HCI Software?
Hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) consolidates physical storage onto industry-standard x86 servers, enabling a modular approach with scalable capabilities. All essential data center functions operate as software on the hypervisor in a tightly integrated software layer, providing services that were previously supplied through hardware now delivered via software. This software-defined approach enables dynamic resource allocation, simplified management, and reduced hardware footprint compared to traditional hardware-centric architectures. HCI offers an efficient, streamlined data center solution that can adapt to changing business demands
