• How to address HCI's resource provisioning challenges

  Provisioning in hyper-convergence is often imbalanced. Integrating more powerful, higher-capacity nodes with HCI software or taking a more hybrid approach can help.  Continue Reading

• Products to go: Composable infrastructure vendors and products glossary

  Part two of a two-part series on composable infrastructure describes vendors that put composable concepts into practice to deliver more agile IT environments for modern business.  Continue Reading

• Composable architecture extends the reach of disaggregation

  In composable architecture, IT components are broken apart and reassembled for specific applications. They can provide more flexibility than converged or hyper-converged systems.  Continue Reading

• Words to go: Composable disaggregated infrastructure glossary

  Dig into these terms to get a sense of composable infrastructure and what its disaggregated server capabilities can bring to your IT environment and application workloads.  Continue Reading

• Docker Containers as a Service deployment simplified on HPE Synergy
