BrandPost: How Workload-Aware Networks Work

Many of today’s hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions converge compute and storage stacks, but leave the critical networking component as an afterthought. Compute can be boosted with faster processors, and choosing an all-flash storage-based solution can greatly improve performance of the HCI node, but outdated network technology can drag down overall performance. Without an intelligent, high-speed network to accommodate data traffic, IT organizations often get unwanted surprises
