Hyper-converged appliances integrate and coordinate resources through a software-centric architecture, in a single commodity hardware box.  A hyper-converged system is said to offer improvements in scalability, performance, management and potential VM density over a converged infrastructure system. Deployment is facilitated and compatibility issues minimized because the technologies are generally provided by a single vendor and designed to work together.

HCA combines Gridstore's Windows 2012 R2-based storage nodes with servers a single device. Gridstore's vController operates in the Microsoft Hyper-V hypervisor. Customers can scale storage by adding nodes; to also scale compute resources, they can add further appliances.
