Deployment Methods of Converged Infrastructure

.

1. Reference Architectures

Reference architectures are pre-validated blueprints for deploying converged system resources efficiently. These guidelines define the type, quantity, and connectivity of compute, storage, and networking components. Key benefits include:

  • Rapid Deployment: Simplified configurations using trusted vendor recommendations.
  • Scalability: Easily scale resources up or out as needed.
  • Integration: Leverage existing infrastructure while maintaining compatibility.

.

This method is ideal for businesses seeking flexibility and control in building their IT systems.

.

2. Pre-Racked Configurations

Pre-racked configurations offer a turnkey solution for faster implementation. All components, including compute, storage, and networking, are:

  • Pre-installed and pre-cabled in a data center rack.
  • Optimized for rapid deployment, reducing setup time significantly.
  • Designed for scale-out scalability, perfect for businesses that need quick expansion.
