A Detailed Guide ](https://www.g2.com/articles/hyperconverged-infrastructure-hci) What do you see when you imagine a traditional data center? Probably a tiered architecture setup: independent server, storage, management, networking, and virtualization modules. You can’t run a data center without these IT infrastructures.  But data center management isn’t easy with so many building blocks. Clunky data center operation slows down cloud workload handling, which stops you from meeting business demands. Thankfully, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) exists. HCI is an IT framework that unifies software-defined storage, virtualized networking, and computing to ease data center resource centralization and management. Data centers turn to HCI solutions to combine their tech stack into a single platform, minimize complexity, and boost scalability.

Since you mentioned DR, however, you might want to look into Xi Leap for cloud-based DR, or our native replication and runbooks for setting up your own DR solution.

While Nutanix AOS provides multi-hypervisor support, the choice of virtualization should be based on individual customer and application requirements. Nearly half of all new AOS deployments use AHV as the default hypervisor. And, AHV provides IT teams the option to deploy micro-segmentation via Nutanix Flow (AHV-only capability). If an organization has standardized on vSphere, Nutanix provides full support and is a great infrastructure choice.
