ExploreVM Podcast Season 3 Episode 7 - HCI Series - StorMagic

Today we tackle the last episode in the Hyperconverged series.

As I mentioned in previous episodes, the goal for this series is to help build an understanding of hyperconverged infrastructure, it's place in the datacenter world, and spotlight the various ways that vendors are deploying HCI.

Once again, I have contacted the vendors directly ( or have been contacted) to participate.

That being said, this is NOT a sponsored series.

I am not receiving any sort of compensation for these appearances.

And all vendors appearing have had a strict set of rules laid out for their appearance.

1) No Bashing other HCI Vendors

2) Keep it technical, this is a technical podcast

3) This is NOT a free commercial for your product

4) No bashing other HCI Vendors
