Wikibon analysis and modeling is used to evaluate a Hyperconverged Full Stack approach compared to a traditional x86 White Box approach in a high-value high-availability application distributed environment. The reference model is the Oracle Database Appliance HA model. Wikibon found a net IT and business benefit of $8.9 million with a net present value of $8.2 million for the Hyperconverged Full Stack. The detailed analysis shows the White Box has 57% higher IT costs over 3-years than a Hyperconverged Full Stack Appliance in a distributed high-value application environment. The Wikibon research also shows above-the-line business benefits of improved time-to-value from a hyperconverged Full Stack Appliance are over 5 times greater than the IT operational cost benefits.
