Advancements to HPE SimpliVity deliver an AI-driven experience,
modernizes data protection and enhances usability
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today announced advancements to
HPE SimpliVity, the company’s flagship hyperconverged
infrastructure (HCI) platform, ushering in a new generation of HCI
powered with artificial intelligence to simplify virtual machine
(VM) management and free IT staff to focus on innovation. Building
upon its software-defined architecture, HPE SimpliVity is enhancing
its customer experience with HPE InfoSight, one-click cluster
upgrades, and the integration of HPE StoreOnce.
Today’s enterprises are under relentless pressure to streamline
operations and accelerate innovation, but in order to achieve this
agility, they require an intelligent underlying architecture for
virtualized environments that automatically speeds time to market
and eliminates complexity. While HCI inherently accelerates service
delivery and resource efficiency, traditional HCI offerings still
require IT to react to unexpected disruptions and application
delays, and make tradeoffs as enterprises scale their environments.
HPE SimpliVity goes beyond software-defined, ushering in AI-driven
infrastructure, infusing artificial intelligence to transform IT
operations by predicting and preventing issues.
“The future of HCI is AI-driven, and HPE has the most advanced
intelligence,” said McLeod Glass, VP & General Manager,
SimpliVity and Composable Software, Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
“HCI makes life easy for enterprises, but unresolved complexities
still occur. HPE has rethought HCI with HPE InfoSight at the heart.
This global intelligence is truly a game changer for customers as
they shift from first-generation HCI to intelligent HCI with
HPE.”
“The extra efficiency that HPE InfoSight brings to HPE
SimpliVity is awesome,” states Warwick Brown, Infrastructure
Architecture & Security Lead, Carlisle Homes. “InfoSight
predicts and reports on metrics that my team cares about – where
capacity is being used in clusters, hosts, even at the VM level,
and when we might run out of space. That saves us lots of
time.”
HPE SimpliVity was founded to create an unparalleled experience
for VM administrators through automation and efficiency. Over the
past several years, HPE SimpliVity has helped thousands of
customers worldwide simplify and optimize their infrastructure and
eliminate waste. With today’s announcements, HPE SimpliVity is
enabling a new experience for its customers.
Intelligently simple
HPE SimpliVity makes it simple for any VM administrator to
deploy, manage, scale, and upgrade their infrastructure. As the
industry’s most efficient all-in-one system, HPE SimpliVity
eliminates more infrastructure and management silos than its
competitors. HPE SimpliVity intelligently self-manages efficiency,
performance, and resiliency without the need for manual tuning or
configuration tradeoffs. Today’s advancements to HPE SimpliVity
include:
- The first release of HPE InfoSight for HPE SimpliVity,
enabling customers to gain predictive resource planning that takes
the guesswork out of managing capacity. HPE InfoSight provides HPE
SimpliVity customers global visibility and analytics into detailed
system, performance, and capacity utilization insights, along with
support automation with automatic alerts and signature detection
into complex problems.
- One-click cluster upgrades for HPE SimpliVity uniquely
enable a seamless full-stack software upgrade that simplifies and
removes risk. Customers now have the ability to upgrade firmware,
hypervisor, and HPE SimpliVity software across the nodes in a HPE
SimpliVity cluster in one click, delivering confidence to simply,
and non-disruptively perform upgrades across sites.
“I love the new InfoSight technology available on SimpliVity,”
said Gerhardt Kruger, Senior Virtualization & HCI Engineer,
King Price Insurance. “InfoSight is basically AI that is looking
after my environment when I'm not. When InfoSight logs a call and
is able to provide predictive support - that saves us time and
helps my team focus on other things in the business."
Hyper-efficient
HPE SimpliVity is hyper-efficient, uniquely combining compute,
storage, and networking with powerful built-in backup and recovery,
delivering consolidation and cost savings. HPE SimpliVity has
industry-leading data efficiency with 90 percent storage capacity
savings across primary VMs and backups. These savings are
guaranteed with the HPE SimpliVity HyperGuarantee. Only HPE
SimpliVity deduplicates, compresses, and optimizes all data inline,
globally, enabling customers to save on expensive capacity
resources, and enabling VM mobility.
- Modernized data protection with HPE StoreOnce
integration. As HPE SimpliVity is accelerating into more
enterprises, customers are looking to continually improve their
data protection strategy. Today, HPE is announcing integration with
HPE StoreOnce for HPE SimpliVity, enabling enhanced protection and
data mobility across HPE storage. HPE StoreOnce integration with
HPE SimpliVity enables an app-aware data protection solution with
rapid recovery and policy-based automation for simple management
and cost-effectiveness. This solution complements the HPE
SimpliVity built-in backup and recovery capability for long-term
retention and compliance.
Edge optimized
HPE SimpliVity customers gain space-optimized, intelligent HCI
for multi-site deployments, enabling VMs to benefit from
performance, efficiency and resiliency in the smallest possible
footprint. For edge sites, zero administration is enabled by
centralized, unified management across all sites, empowering
customers to seamlessly manage workloads across distributed sites
where staff resources are scarce. For superior business continuity,
customers can rapidly failover virtually any number of edge sites
in event of disaster, using single click edge-to-core VM mobility
and recovery. Orchestration is fast and efficient, enabling all
edge workloads to be recovered quickly, minimizing business
downtime.
Cloud connected
Customers gain cloud connected capability via HPE GreenLake,
with the option to consume SimpliVity as-a-Service. HPE has broad
depth and expertise via HPE GreenLake, offering a wide variety of
use cases including private cloud, public cloud and backup
modernization. Additionally, HPE SimpliVity is available as an HPE
Validated Design for Google Cloud’s Anthos, bringing a true hybrid
cloud for containers in a consumption-based solution.
Extending HCI to business-critical applications
Announced in June 2019, HPE expanded its HCI portfolio with the
introduction of HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, a disaggregated HCI
platform built with the simplicity of HCI and the flexibility of
converged. Powered by HPE InfoSight, Nimble dHCI enables
enterprises to deploy apps faster, support demanding workloads, and
optimize time and resources. Customers benefit from the flexibility
to independently scale resources, and management simplicity for
organizations with demanding applications, such as
business-critical database and data warehouse applications.
“The system design, vCenter integration, and InfoSight support
make HPE Nimble dHCI easier to manage than competitive
off-the-shelf HCI configurations,” said Eric Burgener, Research
Vice President, Enterprise Storage, IDC. “The fact that HPE uses
Nimble Storage arrays for the storage layer brings considerable
benefits that are not included with traditional HCI platforms.”
Together, HPE SimpliVity and HPE Nimble Storage dHCI uniquely
bring customers an intelligent hyperconverged experience for every
virtual machine, from general-purpose workloads, edge, and ROBO
apps with HPE SimpliVity, to performance-intensive and
business-critical applications with HPE Nimble Storage dHCI.
