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.

Keywords : hyperconvergence; hypervisor; bare-metal; virtualization; cloud-native; telco cloud; SDDC; 5G.
