We start facing some issues to configure our appliances. Based on 2.1 Taxonomy, this subtower is basically appliances that provide compute, storage and network.

However we were advised to classify some appliances as Storage, since offline backup storage is used to be appliance. For us, the exactly concept that does the appliance is converged infra or is in another subtower - where it executes its biggest function - it's not clear.

Do we have this definition? How are you doing in your cases?

Thank you!
