Determining if any system is compatible for an organization relies on several factors, for example size and complexity of the IT infrastructure, the organization's specific needs and goals, and any particular factors you require from the technology resource.

As converged infrastructure (CI) systems are made up of different appliances and are generally larger than HCI systems, CI might be more ideal for organizations that house larger data centers and more complex storage systems.

Alternately, the simpler infrastructure of HCI might appear to be better suited for organizations with smaller data centers or limited IT resources but because of their scalability and efficient deployment method, it also makes them an attractive option for fast-growing organizations or companies with multiple locations.
