| 0:00.0 | Hyperconverged infrastructure or HCI is, as some might say, the buzziest of buzzwords. |
| 0:10.7 | Okay, maybe not the buzziest looking at you, IOT, but for those who are used to traditional |
| 0:15.2 | three-tier architecture of servers, storage and networking, it's pretty revolutionary. |
| 0:20.3 | Hyperconverged infrastructure is essentially a single box that you can plug in, switch it on, |
| 0:25.7 | and, in theory anyway, you're off. |
| 0:28.9 | But don't let the simplicity for you. |
| 0:33.7 | To look at hyperconverged infrastructure, I think you have to go back to the roots of what is infrastructure in an organisation. |
| 0:44.0 | That's Matt Harris. |
| 0:45.8 | I am vice president of hybrid IT for Hewlett Packard Enterprise. |
| 0:52.4 | With the help of Matt and the rest of today's guests, we're going to be untangling the |
| 0:56.6 | Hyperconverged story from mainframes to disaggregation, whatever that means. |
| 1:01.7 | In order to answer some of those burning questions, is HCI the right solution for every |
| 1:06.5 | organisation? |
| 1:07.7 | How can you move to Hyperconverged when you've spent a bucket load of money on new |

| 1:17.5 | common with small independent retail stores? All of this and a bucket load more. I'm Michael Bird |
| 1:24.2 | and this is Technology Untangled. |
| 1:36.8 | Now, on this show, before we dive too much into the topic, we like to take a brief look back as to where we've come from. So, it's time, as always, for a little history. |
| 1:43.3 | The birth of modern computing really started in the 1950s |
| 1:47.6 | when IBM innovated the mainframe. Here's Luke Peters, a hyperconverged infrastructure |
| 1:53.6 | specialist at HPE with more. If you ever Google mainframes from the 50s, you'll see these gigantic machines taking up acres of floor space and some big factory units. |
| 2:05.6 | And they were huge, they were very complex and incredibly expensive as well, so quite a niche market. |
