Solution Providers Dive Deep Into Hyper-Convergence

Solution providers are all in on cutting-edge hyper-converged technology. A panel of solution providers at the NexGen Cloud Conference in Anaheim ,Calif., hosted by CRN parent The Channel Company, detailed why they took the plunge into hyper-convergence.

’We have invested, I would say, significantly,’ said Dan Molina, CTO at Nth Generation. ’We have probably trained six to seven resources. The bottom line is that it is simplifying the lives of our customers,’ he added.

Leif Morin, president of Key Information Systems, said his company is in a similar position with hyper-converged.

’We’re watching this evolution from converged systems into hyper-converged systems very closely, and being actively part of that. We believe the coming wave and revolution in storage technology – and specifically persistent storage technology, SSD-type class or memory-class storage -- is really going to make a profound change in how people consume technology solutions in the hyper-converged world,’ Morin said.

Abba Technologies Chief Technologist Ken Payne said his company is coming up on three years of hyper-converged offerings.

’It was a game-changer for us; specifically it was a total paradigm shift in how we looked at, and how we designed, data centers,’ he said.
