Announced 63.7% Growth in Hyperconverged Systems Last Year

Last year, the domestic converged system market was valued at 198 billion won, a 10% increase from the previous year.

According to a recent report on the domestic converged systems market published by IDC Korea, while Integrated Platforms are leading the market by accounting for more than half of the domestic converged systems market, Hyperconverged Systems are also rapidly expanding in size, recording a growth rate of 63.7% compared to the previous year.

Meanwhile, the domestic converged system market is expected to demonstrate enhanced capabilities by integrating server, storage, and network infrastructure, and also has the potential to evolve into an independent hyperconverged system market. As most major server, storage, and network vendors anticipate that hyperconverged system technology will become a critical technology in the future, they expect to either attempt to strengthen their technological prowess through mergers and acquisitions or for vendors with more innovative converged system technologies to emerge.

Lee Deok-woong, a researcher in the Storage Research Division, stated, "Converged systems enable more efficient operations while saving data center space through the physical integration of existing infrastructure. In particular, hyper-converged systems feature enhanced virtualization capabilities that allow for high-speed provisioning, making them suitable for specific business combinations requiring diverse and frequent changes." "Accordingly, the utilization of converged can be maximized," he said.
