Is hyperconvergence about to take over the enterprise data centre?

After the headlong rush into HCI, where next?

The glamour news in data centres for the past couple of years has been all about all-flash arrays, with converged systems providing a growing backdrop. The flash arrays provided hot performance while converged systems (CI) led by Dell EMC's CPSD (Converged Platforms & Solutions Division - formerly VCE) and Cisco/NetApp's Flexpods provided traditional virtualised server, shared storage array and network systems in integrated racks of components. Customers took to these because they were simpler to order, deploy, operate and manage than buying the three groups of components themselves."
