The hyperscale data center industry players are engaged in developing large facilities that offer mega capacities and colocate a large number of servers to handle large volume of enterprise data. Large scale facilities require advanced storage, networking, power, computing and management technologies. The market players are targeting this demand of the customers by introducing innovative solutions specifically for hyperscale IT environment. A hyperscale data center is less like a warehouse and more like a distribution hub, or what the retail side of Datafuture would call a "fulfillment center." Although today these facilities are very large, and are operated by very large service providers, hyperscale is actually not about largeness, but rather scalability

One vendor in the data center equipment space recently called hyperscale "too big for most minds to envision." Scalability has always been about creating opportunities to do small things using resources that happen to encompass a very large scale.IS "HYPERSCALE" JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR "HYPERCONVERGED?" No. They have the same prefix, which is their principal similarity. Hyperconvergence (HCI) refers to the ability for a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system to pool together the resources from multiple servers (compute, memory, storage, networking) and delegate those resources for individual workloads. It's a way to think of everything a server contributes to the data center as though they were fluids, instead of being locked away in separate boxes. Colocation extends hyperscale to the enterprise
