What is Converged System?
Converged System is a type of data centre management approach that bundles computation, networking, servers, storage, and virtualization technologies into a complete appliance. This approach is rising in popularity because several firms are moving away from owning and managing their own hardware, which is expensive to adopting a more flexible self-service model, where the assets and resources can be utilized as per the demand. The converged system market can primarily be segmented into integrated systems, certified reference system and hyper converged system. Main goal of adopting or shifting to converged systems is to reduce the complexities in managing data centers. Enterprises that create cloud-native applications or operate an internal hybrid or private cloud value the ease of deployment of converged infrastructure. The approach is also suitable for SMEs as they adopt a pay as you grow model. Globally, North America is the dominant most market of the converged system.
The market study is broken down by Type (Integrated Systems, Certified Reference Systems and Hyper Converged Systems), by Application (Remote Office, Virtualization Desktop Infrastructure, Data Center Consolidation, Backup and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
Global growing adoption of cloud computing, and rising costs of managing hardware has led to significant growth of the converged systems. This allows firms to deploy and adopt flexible systems as per their demands, thus reducing the operational costs.
