If anyone does not understand the term 'hyperconvergence', look it up and see who's doing it. Just Google the word and read all about it. It is the next migration of IT - from the days of the central servers of the 80's to the PC based businesses of the 90's and later, it is IT in the form of software run on the cloud. It removes the company's need to own and maintain all those servers of a few years ago. This is a revolution that will take years to play out. As in all businesses, one size does not fit all. So there will be room for various players.
But this is what caught my eye in ICLD's annual report:
Managed Services . Our managed services offering is built around traditional IT managed services and “private cloud in the box” applications services. Our DPoD private cloud platform offers enterprise customers, carriers, and resellers ability to prepackage a “hyper-converged” open source private cloud environment in an opex model rather than the legacy hardware model. Our DPoD private cloud offers orchestration, virtualized compute, virtualized network functions, and virtualized storage. This platform is offered in a multi-year contract, managed services format.
