"I've looked at the hyper converged platform forms and truthfully I'm not a believer. 2 reasons : You're never going to fill CPU, memory and disk at the prescribed rate that your vendor (eg. Nutanix). Are going to give you. I might be leaving 1 or 2 components on the table and yet go back to the purchasing well to address your needs"
You are assuming all hyperconvergence solutions are based on predefined hardware blocks. Maxta, for example, is not. You can build your hardware as you see fit, scaling compute performance and storage capacity independently. There's no waste there. A solution that can be designed to meet the needs of your business and your budget, with all the data management simplicity that hyperconvergence offers.
