Your HCI Proof of Concept Measures the Wrong Thing.

Most organizations evaluate private cloud and HCI platforms by running a technical POC. The POC passes. The platform fails. The reason is structural — and fixable. The Platform Fitness Evaluation Model (PFEM) tells you what to measure instead.

...How many people need to be available for a Severity 1 incident on this platform? Compare that to your current team structure. Upgrade cadence fit: How frequently does this platform require upgrades? Map...
