Converged vs hyper-converged infrastructures

Converged vs hyper-converged infrastructures

What are the main differences between hyper-converged and converged infrastructures?

The main difference is that hyper-converged infrastructures are defined by software and completely transparent. In this type of infrastructure, components cannot be separated in the same way as in the converged ones, but they are more flexible and customizable.

The flexibility of hyper-converged infrastructures makes them more scalable and cost-effective, because you can add, for example, more storage blocks as needed. In the converged ones, this option isn’t possible, since it is necessary to add whole packages, what makes them more expensive.

How to create a VDI infrastructure with VMware vSphere

How to create a VDI infrastructure with VMware vSphere

Today we continue with our posts series about VDI deployments with the main hypervisors in the market. After dealing with Hyper-V and oVirt, today we talk about VMware vSphere. Our VDI connection broker for Windows and Linux easily integrates with vSphere, since its components are offered in Virtual Appliance format. The elements that make up UDS Enterprise are hosted on the same VMware vSphere platform on which the virtual desktops are to be deployed by very simple steps.

Once the initial steps have been completed, the UDS Enterprise components are interconnected to each other and are subsequently connected to the platform on which the virtual desktops are to be deployed. At this time, we will obtain a robust and efficient virtual desktop platform that is prepared to administer and manage the virtual desktops deployed on VMware vSphere, with the virtual desktops now ready for users to connect.
