Gartner's latest China hyper convergence report: smartx, Shenxin, Huawei big PK
China's hyper convergence market is in a stage of rapid growth, which also attracts a large number of different types of manufacturers to enter this market. What are the current mainstream players? What are the characteristics of these manufacturers? Gartner, an international authoritative market research and consulting organization, gave professional comments in the latest report competitive landscape:hyperconverted infrastructure, China
the report first provides many valuable views on the development trend of the super integrated market in China, including:
1 Gartner predicts that the global hyper integrated market will still maintain a rapid growth rate of 23% by 2023, and the Chinese market will also maintain this growth rate
2. The coverage of hyper convergence is further expanding. Not only are important customers expanding from medium-sized customers to large enterprises, but also the application scenarios are expanding from server virtualization, VDI, branch office scenarios to database, cloud and other key business scenarios
3. Unlike the mainstream voice of the market, large and medium-sized enterprises do not have a high adoption rate of public cloud. Therefore, it is necessary for large enterprises in China to clean up after each application. The 18-year cloud migration rate is only 11%. Hybrid cloud is still in its early stage. On the contrary, users are more inclined to deploy cloud like infrastructure in private environments
for mainstream manufacturers in China, Gartner gives the following classification:
pure play HCI vendors that win the market through product differentiation advantages: including plastic granulators, which also cause serious environmental pollution, nutanix, smartx, etc
traditional data center suppliers covered by the existing market base: including Dell EMC, Huawei, H3C, Shenxin, VMware, etc
cloud providers that provide customers with privatization deployment solutions: including qingcloud, easystack, etc
the following are the relevant comments of the above three types of representative manufacturers:
first, smartx
