SmartX Recommended in 2024 Gartner’s Market Guide for Full-Stack HCI Software
This is the second year that SmartX is included in the report.
SEOUL, South Korea, April 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Gartner has released the 2024 “Market Guide for Full-Stack Hyperconverged Infrastructure Software”. SmartX is recommended in the report for the second consecutive year, among other 7 vendors including Nutanix, Broadcom (VMware), and Microsoft.
Notably, the report mentions that hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) vendors are expanding to the cloud and toward the edge, emerging as prominent players in the distributed hybrid infrastructure landscape. It recommends that users should implement full-stack HCI as a revirtualization path. Additionally, due to the Broadcom acquisition of VMware, the report predicts that the 30% of the non-VMware full-stack HCI installed base that exists in 2024 will increase to 60% by 2029.
