The problem02
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.

The Syneto approach03
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.

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

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.

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
