HCI Adoption Is Driven by a Need to Bring Cloud Operations On-premises and Accelerate Innovation

The survey asked these respondents how the use of HCI is delivering benefits for their organizations. ESG also sought to understand if, and to what degree, HCI is providing a foundation for the organizations to achieve their on-premises as-a-Service and cloud operations goals. The research showed that organizations using HCI to support the majority of their on-premises workloads, referred to as “HCI Accelerators,” are:

• Reducing time spent on infrastructure deployment by 40% and reducing ongoing system management task time by 41%.
• Using HCI-enabled time savings and automation, particularly in day-2 operations, to deliver 59% more of their total IT environment as-a-Service.
• Using as-a-Service to speed cloud project completion, application development timelines, and get to market faster.
• More likely than those using HCI more selectively to drive a high degree of infrastructure management tool consolidation (27% versus 20%) across their entire environment, allowing them to explore more hybrid operating models.
