The problem03

Chapter 01 · The problem

The 3-tier tax.

Traditional 3-tier infrastructure (servers + SAN + Fibre Channel) is expensive to scale, complex to operate, and forces ongoing forklift upgrades that interrupt the business.

Legacy 3-tier: five separate products, five contracts, five upgrade cycles, and five reasons something can break independently.

The Syneto approach04

Chapter 02 · The Syneto approach

One platform, four capabilities.

Syneto HYPER Core consolidates compute, storage, data protection and disaster recovery into a single 1U or 2U appliance. Add nodes for capacity; the cluster grows in real time.

One HYPER Core node = full stack. Add nodes for scale. Add a DR site for resilience. Add CENTRAL for fleet management.

Architecture05

Chapter 03 · Architecture

Pick your hypervisor.

VMware ESXi

Bring your own ESXi licences
Syneto stays out of the hypervisor licensing equation
vCenter, vSphere skills carry over
NSX, vMotion, HA, DRS all work
Datastore via SyFS NFS/iSCSI

Hyperion (KVM)

Bundled with SynetoOS, zero extra cost
Production-hardened KVM/QEMU
Live migration, HA, snapshots
libvirt + virtio paravirtualisation
Same hypervisor as Google Cloud and AWS Nitro

Deployment06

Chapter 04 · Deployment

Migration path.

01

Day 0

Install 1-2 HYPER Core nodes alongside the legacy SAN. ~30 min per node.

02

Day 1-30

Live-migrate non-critical workloads first. Validate performance, recovery, ops.

03

Day 30-60

Migrate production workloads. Decommission SAN/server racks as capacity moves over.

04

Day 60+

Expand cluster as needed. Reclaim rack U, power, cooling budgets.

05

Steady-state

One control plane. One support contract. Linear add-a-node growth.

TCO07

Chapter 05 · TCO

The economic case.

Hardware footprint 24+ U rack → 6 U / 3-node HC cluster

Vendor contracts 5+ → 1 (Syneto)

Skill silos SAN + FC + hypervisor + backup → One UI, one cert track

Hypervisor licensing VMware ELA, per-core (since 2024) → Bring-your-own OR Hyperion bundled

Power draw ~3.5 kW typical → ~1.1 kW typical

Forklift upgrades Every 3-5 years → Add a node when needed
