A Google search for scholarly papers on "IT infrastructure convergence" turns up this Q & A. https://www.infosecisland.com/blogview/6023-Converged-Infrastructure-Means-Endless-Possibilities.html and it might be used to provide a sited reference/source for technical and business efficiencies as stated here: Converged infrastructure provides both technical and business efficiencies, according to industry researchers and observers.

I wouldnt classify the above reference as "scholarly", more of an HP PR Piece — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martinjoz (talk • contribs) 05:06, 5 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

{{Cleanup|date=August 2011}} This page has advertising in it for a HP (Hewlett-Packard) product. Guidelines FAQs state:

May I advertise my organization or its campaigns, clients, products, services or leading individuals on Wikipedia?Shortcut: WP:BFAQ#ADVERT

No. Wikipedia is not a place for you to post promotional material for your services, products or to promote any other cause outside of its own mission to deliver the sum total of human knowledge about notable subjects. While a list of the notable services your organization provides might be appropriate, such a list should only include those that are a part of the primary mission and are necessary to adequately describe the organization. Our policy on neutral point of view mandates that promotional material and advertising be removed. Advertising may be in addition considered spam and will likely lead to penalties such as blocking or even banning.

The HP specific text should be removed, because they are only one company out of many that provide converged infrastructure products. They should not be advertising a product on this page.

Ugh, this article seems a pile of advertising buzzwords and jargon. As far as I can tell, the term is just a modern name for the idea of selling all computer, networking, and data storage products from a single vendor. Should make that clear I hope, instead of trying to obfuscate and make it seem there is some new technology here. It is really a marketing term. W Nowicki (talk) 19:44, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
