Prioritising workloads in a hyper-converged infrastructure migration A cost-effective approach to combining virtualisation and unified management probably means deploying it workload by workload, experts suggest Share this item with your network: By Published: 04 Mar 2021 A hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) should be greater than the sum of its parts. Analysts note that migrating workload by workload can suit most organisations – so operators can base deployment decisions on the peculiarities of each workload, aiming for end-to-end management, visibility, resilience and integration. Todd Traver, vice-president for resiliency at the Uptime Institute, says an organisation that is ready to make the move to HCI – as most will want to – can start by selecting an initial digestible chunk and move on from there. However, significant preparation and a view of the route ahead across all applications is needed for success.
