The disconnect of storage and compute is a really big thing that people often overlook when thinking about what comprises a modern datacentre. Your CPU and RAM for your virtualization environment is often going to be in completely separate physical host machines than your disk space, and your disk space is likely going to be collected and partitioned into various storage pools based on availability, redundancy, speed, etc.
yes, i think it is good point. although the name says hyperconvergence (which most places advertise as compute, storage and network to a single node) it looks like a convergence of storage to a compute and network.
SAN/NAS -> local-disk drive.
But I am not sure on this part though, according to what yours: CPU and RAM is going completely going opposite? (diverging)? Because the CPU and RAM are the only the components that are not virtualized (or translated right?) Everything else network cards, graphics are virtualized and represented by software. (Of course are exception i.e. SRIOV/VDI which is coming back to hardware for performance but lets put ones like this outside the scope).
