The global hyper-converged infrastructure market is projected to grow from $12.96 billion in 2025 to $42.75 billion by 2031, a 22.01% compound annual growth rate. Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) is a software-defined framework that combines computing, storage, networking and virtualization on one platform. ResearchAndMarkets.com identifies operational simplicity, hybrid and multi-cloud adoption, AI-related workloads, data-center modernization, disaster recovery and demand for scalable infrastructure as key growth drivers. AFCOM said 80% of data-center respondents in 2025 expected significant capacity increases because of AI workloads. Adoption remains constrained by interoperability problems with legacy systems, migration costs and entrenched on-premises infrastructure; Uptime Institute reported that 45% of enterprise IT workloads remained in on-premises data centers in 2025. The report also highlights a shift toward subscription and as-a-service models, including Hewlett Packard Enterprise GreenLake's 62% year-over-year increase in annualized revenue run-rate to $3.2 billion in December 2025, and the integration of Kubernetes with traditional virtualization. The report covers 2025-2031, contains 185 pages and assesses markets across components, applications, industry verticals and five global regions.
