The company I put a solution in for had the following problems


Capacity


poorly thought out cloud deployments because of the capacity and inexperience (which cost them a fortune


DR and Backups were aspirational at best


VMware was aging and required a complete replacement


SAN Storage was aging, capacity bound and, again, required a complete replacement


Covid had slapped a year or more of technical debt on them



All the obvious players were considered as candidates




Due to staff turn over they did not really have a VMware critical mass of experience


They were cautious about cloud costs having been burnt with their previous experience.


They were very heavy in Linux experience


(the other swing vote was Red Hat support which was deemed to be industry leading)


In my solution all of the Cloud instances were brought back in house


The migration of the VMDK files was simple and the P2V was also simple (but slow)


I designed a solution that met managements requirements and worked with the team to implement it - they owned the implantation. 



The cost of it was lower than management expectations.


The support we got during the test phase was 100%


DR and backups were simple (once the planning phase was done and all the files you need are created).


IT staff owned the solution from day one


It was blindingly fast compared to the original solution.

Depending on the requirements of the consumers, Red Hat Hyperconverged Infrastructure can be used for any application that can be deployed. We have our own product deployed on this infrastructure.

It has storage and Hypervisor from Red Hat. It is used for computing and the virtualization workload for databases and other things.

It was implemented in a solution center for our land environments. We had three x86 servers interconnected with 10 gigabytes network.

We use this solution for verticals like banking, robo, oil and gas, retail — It could be pretty much anything. It encompasses the whole gamut of vertical solutions.

We use the solution as a part of our in-house use in our R&D department. We use it mainly as a desktop as a service.

We have a legacy application virtualized on top of the solution. It is our own product. We select what we want to run there. It is not possible to run all kinds of software because of the setup. We run a server application. For us, it is like a kind of small cloud.

HCI
Hyper-Converged Infrastructure refers to a system where numerous integrated technologies can be managed within a single system, through one main channel. Typically software-centric, the architecture tightly integrates storage, networking, and virtual machines.
