The HCI market has changed in ways that make classification difficult. Some providers offer turnkey appliances. Others align their solutions to specific virtualization stacks or package software with partner hardware. That complexity makes DCIG’s TOP 5 research valuable, as it helps end users identify leading solutions while understanding the broader HCI landscape.
The Data Center Intelligence Group (DCIG) is updating its research into hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions. HCI vendors are invited to participate in the survey research taking place through April 17, 2026. DCIG intends to publish one or more DCIG TOP 5 reports based on this HCI research in the 2nd quarter of 2026. DCIG TOP 5 reports help IT decision-makers save valuable time through a succinct analysis of available offerings.
Two simultaneous disruptions force infrastructure decisions across enterprises of all sizes: VMware licensing under Broadcom and Dell’s pivot away from VxRail. Organizations must consider whether to adopt a comprehensive private cloud architecture or merely replace one hypervisor with another.

In 2019 DCIG first examined how well StorMagic SvSAN and VMware vSAN align with organizational needs to operate 24×7. DCIG’s initial report considered how well each of these two solutions fit in small and midsize businesses (SMBs) and edge locations. Since then, the operational reality in SMBs and edge locations has changed little. If anything, these size organizations increasingly need cost-effective, reliable highly available (HA) solutions to host their applications and data.
DCIG is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the 2023-24 DCIG TOP 5 Enterprise HCI Providers Report. This report provides guidance on the TOP 5 providers enterprises should consider for hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) appliances.
In this DCIG blog and video report, I share two surprising things I learned about the robust storage capabilities of Nutanix Unified Storage and Nutanix’s strategic shift from hyperconverged infrastructure with its implied on-premises focus to becoming an enterprise hybrid multicloud infrastructure provider.
