This research analyzes and identifies the evolution and trends in the telecommunications sector to successfully implement a hyperconverged solution. The approach was qualitative through a document review, exploring the best practices of consulting firms, the technology community, and manufacturers in the sector. The Gartner Magic Quadrant for Hyperconverged Infrastructure in 2022 was used as a basis to achieve this objective. The leading vendors successfully implementing their solutions in the telecommunications sector were identified. Subsequently, the information gathered by consulting firms, the technology community, and experts in the field was contrasted to corroborate the evolution, advantages, and market trends. Finally, it was concluded that organizations' decision-making should consider economic and commercial criteria and evaluate aspects of greater depth and relevance, such as field evidence, technological innovation, and customer experience described by third parties.

Esta investigación analiza e identifica la evolución y tendencias en el sector de las telecomunicaciones para implantar con éxito una solución hiperconvergente. El enfoque fue cualitativo a través de la revisión documental, se analizaron las mejores prácticas de las consultoras, la comunidad tecnológica y fabricantes del sector. Para lograr este objetivo, se tomó como base el Cuadrante Mágico de Gartner para Infraestructura Hiperconvergente en 2022, luego se identificó los proveedores líderes que implantan con éxito sus soluciones en el sector de las telecomunicaciones. Posteriormente, se contrasto la información recopilada por consultoras, comunidad tecnológica y expertos en la materia para corroborar la evolución, ventajas y tendencias del mercado. Por último, se concluyó que la toma de decisiones de las organizaciones debe considerar no sólo criterios económicos y comerciales, sino también evaluar aspectos de mayor profundidad y relevancia, como la evidencia de campo, innovación tecnológica y experiencia del cliente descrita por terceros.
