Recently, Sangfor was selected as a sample vendor in the hyper-convergence field in four Hype Cycle™ reports released by Gartner®, and became the only Chinese vendor selected in the hyper-convergence field in these four reports. The report is as follows:

Computing Maturity Curve, 2024

Hype Cycle for Compute, 2024, 8 July 2024

Data Storage Technology Maturity Curve, 2024

Hype Cycle for Storage Technologies, 2024, 10 July 2024

Data Center Infrastructure Technology Maturity Curve, 204

Hype Cycle for Data Center Infrastructure Technologies, 2024, 27 June 2024

Infrastructure Technology Maturity Cycle, 2024

Hype Cycle for Infrastructure Strategy, 2024, 17 June 2024

This is the second consecutive year that Sangfor has been selected in the four technology maturity curve reports. The four reports study the popular technologies in different fields and markets on the market. Hyper-convergence is in the productivity maturity stage in all four reports. According to Gartner's description, hyper-convergence technology will have an impact on the business: "Hyper-convergence enables IT leaders to respond to new business needs in a modular, small-incremental manner, avoiding the large incremental upgrades common in three-tier infrastructure. It is particularly valuable for mid-sized enterprises that can standardize on hyper-convergence and for remote sites of large organizations that need cloud-style management efficiency and local edge infrastructure."

Gartner also described in the report:

“With VMware licensing changes taking effect in 2024, we are seeing a resurgence of hype around storage and network virtualization in hyperconvergence as customers look to alternative innovation approaches and vendors. Infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders should consider hyperconvergence as a viable option when seeking a cost-effective solution with a single management interface that excludes proprietary, external hardware controller-based storage. Possible use cases include virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), edge/internet of things (IoT), hybrid cloud and on-premises cloud.”
