  Hyper Convergence has brought virtualization and IT strategies to a new
level. Datacenters are undergoing a deep paradigm shift from a hardware-centric
to an application-centric approach which leverages on software defined
architectures, while IT is more and more being delivered as services rather
than assets or products. Throughout different evolving phases since the initial
attempts to convergence, the concept has been refined down to a level
where,ultimately, a whole datacenter could be fully managed from a centralized
single point, abstracting the whole hardware layer and exposing it to the
administrators as a transparent pool of resources. This paper analyzes the
evolution of infrastructures and tries to dig into the reality and convenience
of Hyper Convergence.
