Conceptual Framework Transformation of Converged Infrastructure (CI) into Hyper Converged Technology for Virtualization of Server Infrastructure

Nowadays, transformation of physical machine-based infrastructure into virtual based system is one of the emerging technologies and a challenging task. In addition to that converged infrastructures obtained much attention in order to maintain the business agility. It also increase the quality, and speed of services delivered to clients. Since the physical server infrastructure implemented on physical desktop for lab environment is resource hungry, which requires a lot of resources as much as the latest applications are installed. It requires maximum hardware consumption, power consumption, high upfront cost as well as it also takes high operational maintenance cost. Hyper converged technology provides ease of acquisition, it can also decrease administrative load as well as decease maintenance cost and it can also reduce data center foot print. This paper aims to study the transformation of converged infrastructure (CI) into Hyper Converged technology for virtualization of server infrastructure. Tools like ESXI, V-Center, Horizon, SQL Server, File Server and Active Directory has been used to achieve the objective of this study. The findings of this study presents that Converged infrastructure gives a preconfigured package of software and hardware and by using converged infrastructure, the compute, storage, and networking components would be discrete and separated.
