For small and mid-sized businesses, every dollar counts, and IT demands are only growing. You need infrastructure that’s lean, efficient, and built to scale with your business. But with Broadcom’s recent overhaul of VMware’s pricing model, many companies are realizing their current virtualization setup may no longer be sustainable.

That’s why more and more businesses are turning to hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI).

HCI combines compute, storage, networking, and virtualization into one streamlined, software-defined solution. It removes complexity, eliminates hardware silos, and significantly reduces both capital and operational costs.

If you're evaluating your next move, here are six compelling reasons why now is the right time to switch to HCI.

1. Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
By consolidating multiple IT components into a single platform, HCI significantly reduces both capital and operational expenses. There’s no need to purchase and maintain separate servers, SANs, and hypervisors.
Stat to know: Businesses using Scale Computing can reduce downtime by up to 90% and cut total IT costs by 40%.

2. Simplified Management
HCI platforms offer a centralized dashboard that makes managing your entire infrastructure easier. Your IT team can monitor systems, troubleshoot issues, and deploy resources from a single pane of glass, saving time and reducing complexity.
Bonus: Scale Computing’s interface is known for being intuitive and user-friendly, even for smaller IT teams.

3. Seamless Scalability
HCI grows with your business. Need more capacity or computing power? Just add nodes without expensive overhauls or unused capacity sitting idle. This flexibility makes HCI ideal for businesses with evolving needs.
Pro Tip: With Scale Computing, you can start small and scale as needed so you only get what you need.

4. Enhanced Resilience
Built-in redundancy and automated failover are standard with HCI platforms. This ensures business continuity even if hardware fails, minimizing costly downtime and productivity loss.
Example: A Scale Computing cluster will automatically rebalance workloads and maintain uptime if a node fails.

5. Stronger Security by Design
HCI platforms are built with integrated security features, including encryption, access controls, and automatic updates. These layers help protect your infrastructure against evolving threats.
Security Win: Scale Computing includes built-in security hardening, so you’re protected from day one.

6. Streamlined Operations
When compute, storage, and virtualization are integrated, your IT team can spend less time managing systems and more time on strategic initiatives. With fewer vendors, tools, and interfaces to deal with, everything just runs smoother.
Efficiency Gains: HCI reduces the time spent on routine maintenance, patching, and troubleshooting.
