Focus on simplicity or flexibility
Standardized workloads Pools of resources, run by API
Simplicity first flexibility
Vertical infrastructure based on initial choice that
supports a standardized type of workload, fe based
on Vmware.
Example is VxRail

Momentum building for rack-scale HCI
“As HCI clusters grow in size, the networking infrastructure that connects nodes and the networking monitoring tools needed to manage traffic and locate problems will require tighter integration to keep up with rapidly evolving workloads and customer requirements.”
