Momentum building for rack-scale HCI

“As HCI clusters grow in size, the networking infrastructure that connects nodes and the networking monitoring tools needed to manage traffic and locate problems will require tighter integration to keep up with rapidly evolving workloads and customer requirements.”

• Network design/hardware selection

• Plan for future growth

• Multiple IT teams involved

• Complex (physical + logical planning)

• Maintain performance levels at scale

Expertise and planning required!

At scale, the network is even more critical
