Hyperconverged infrastructure is not just a buzzword. It is a revolutionary way of thinking about IT infrastructure that reduces IT investments in money and staffing. Although it may be difficult to determine whether a solution is truly hyperconverged, just converged, or some other pretender, it is worth investigating HCI solutions to ensure your organization can benefit from modern IT infrastructure.
As the IT industry evolves, HCI is the logical step in on-premises and cloud-integrated virtualization infrastructure. Standing still with more traditional virtualization solutions like the 3-2-1 architecture may cost organizations far more in capital, staffing, and training than switching over to the simplicity and savings of an HCI solution.
Those interested can check out our Insights series and hear from Craig Theriac, VP of Product Management along with Dave Demlow, VP of Product Strategy of Scale Computing and take a brief, deep dive into virtualization, its evolution, and the crucial role of the hypervisor and hypervisor software here:
Have you implemented hyperconverged infrastructure in your organization? If so, how has it impacted your IT operations?

I think you are confusing things here. Traditional virtualization solution, like the 3-2-1 architecture you are talking about, nowadays means 3 HCI hosts in total, 2 running primary production workloads, and 1 for backup/DR.
