HPE SimpliVity, hyperconverged infrastructure without compromise!
In this video, we’ll look at HPE SimpliVIty, all-in-one HCI. We’ll look at the at simple
self-service cloud experience and self service agility you’ll have for your VMs.
And combine it with HPE GreenLake, you’ll have pay-per-use, elastic model that simplifies IT operations.
Hyperconverged infrastructure has taken the market by storm over the past several years.
Legacy converged architectures simplified ordering with pre-validated
configurations but were complex to manage and monolithic. HCI brings with it an experience,
much more than an architecture, that makes life easy for VM admins. Let’s look at how.
It’s about an experience: • HCI is simple to deploy: software defined
infrastructure abstracted from hardware and a single pool of centrally orchestrated resources.
• It’s simple to manage: unified management in vCenter that eliminates silos and policy-based automation that saves time.
• And it’s simple to scale as you start
small and scale out and it’s easy to upgrade the entire software stack.
Now let’s look at HPE SimpliVity and answer how it offers HCI without compromise.
• 2-node HA means you get HA with only 2 nodes and meet SLAs with protection against multiple failures.
• HPE SimpliVity has built in data protection and DR that lowers costs, reduces risks and eliminates complexity.
• And it’s hyper efficient with dedup and compression
that optimizes all data at inception, globally across edge sites and data centers.
HPE SimpliVity integrates with industry-leading HPE ProLiant servers and consolidates HCI and
advanced data services for virtualized workloads. We collapse the “entire” stack on the left into a
single All-in-One solution. You have one platform, one partner, one IT generalist to run VMs.
Silos are collapsed eliminating complexity. Empower VM admins – no specialists required.
Lower overall costs – save on space, power, cooling, maintenance, and licensing.
HPE SimpliVity is intelligently simple for edge to core workloads:
• The all-in-one system collapses the stack, removing silos with built-in resiliency, backup and disaster recovery.
• With global unified management, you have a cloud-experience, centrally managing everything.
• Comprehensive data protection that delivers secure, cost-effective VM backup
on-premises or in the public cloud. • Zero downtime refresh cycles to add
or remove capacity non-disruptively. • Automated tuning so you always have
optimal performance, efficiency, and resiliency without knobs or tradeoffs.
• And global intelligence with predictive analytics and support automation.
I’ve mentioned built-in data protection and DR – let’s look at it a bit more and why it’s important.
Other vendors simply converge servers and storage, but only HPE SimpliVity technology
hyperconverges across the entire stack, so not just server and storage, but also a built-in data
protection application, WAN optimization, backup, and disaster recovery. With HPE SimpliVity,
all data protection is built-in, all at the VM level. You can easily backup, restore,
and move VMs, and you don’t have to worry about the underlying storage infrastructure.
And that’s peace of mind. Backup and restore a 1TB VM in less than 60 seconds – that is fast!
Deliver lower recovery point objectives to minutes and recovery time objectives to seconds!
With HPE SimpliVity, you have one edge foundation for any applications.
Organizations are transforming how they develop and deploy applications across hybrid cloud—
with IT needing infrastructure to be more agile, more automated, and policy-driven to support evolving
virtualization and container-based architectures. HPE SimpliVity now supports the CSI Driver for
Kubernetes to run container-based workloads at the edge. With HPE SimpliVity, you have
one common hyperconverged platform and control plane that can run VMs and containers at the edge.
Let me summarize - HPE SimpliVity provides Intelligent HCI for the
enterprise edge to core workloads. • It’s intelligently simple in an
all-in-one solution that collapses the stack
including built-in backup to save costs. • It ensures protection across all sites with
hyper efficient use of resources including costly storage across all your edge sites.
• It supports more workloads from VMs to containers on a single platform.
