Maturing Hyperconverged Infrastructure Is Running Mission-Critical Workloads in Many Enterprises Today

This IDC Perspective provides an overview of recent developments in the hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) market and encourages enterprises to evaluate these types of platforms as their legacy infrastructure comes up for technology refresh. HCI offerings have come a long way in the past two years and host mission-critical workloads at more than half of all enterprises. Their software-defined agility makes them a popular choice for the infrastructure modernization and digital transformation projects that most enterprises are pursuing."Enterprises that still think HCI is limited by an inability to scale compute and storage resources independently, recovery times for device and/or node failures, and node-level performance and capacity limitations should look again," said Eric Burgener, research vice president, Infrastructure Systems, Platforms and Technologies Group, IDC. "Vendors in this space have come up with new features and approaches that address these concerns, and the best HCI platforms offer a storage management feature set that very closely approximates external storage arrays while differentiating themselves with their flexibility, ease of use, and better economics."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
