There are many important considerations when thinking about a hyperconverged infrastructure solution. We’re providing this guide to help you evaluate your options. In a crowded market, HCI vendors range from companies just starting out to well-established vendors that have been in the market since early days. Each has its own unique architecture and set of strengths and capabilities, which can make it difficult to compare. We detail the key features of HCI along with:

Simplify the VM experience by delivering true hyperconvergence at scale — from edge to data center — with efficiency, resiliency, density, and simplicity.

Operational efficiency reduces capacity requirements and improves application speed and performance. Always-on, inline deduplication and compression only needs to happen once, delivering 90% capacity savings across primary storage and backup – guaranteed!

Achieve high availability with just 2 nodes. HPE SimpliVity tolerates simultaneous drive failures without data loss, and built-in data protection and disaster recovery features help keep data safe.

Flexible, consolidated resource pools are cost effective building blocks for a variety of workloads. The award-winning HPE SimpliVity 2600 provides space-constrained environments with high-density, enterprise grade features and functionality.

Simple and automated operations eliminate the need for specialized IT skills. VM administrators manage the entire IT stack from a single, familiar interface. Back up, clone, or restore a VM in 3 clicks, guaranteed, using policy-based, VM-centric management.

Always-on, at inception, inline deduplication and compression guarantees 90% capacity savings across primary storage and backup saving costs.

Achieve improved performance from all-flash storage, tiered caching, and always-on, inline dedupe and compression.

Operational efficiency frees up 91% of IT organizations’ time to focus on new projects.

High availability tolerates simultaneous drive failures without data loss and achieves high availability with a minimum of 2 nodes.

Full logical VM backups with policy-based automation and near zero overhead.

Guaranteed 60-second restore of 1 TB VM

Automated, multi-site, rapid disaster recovery reduces the risk of data loss and costly business downtime.

Flexible resource pools of compute, storage, and composable fabric networking collapsed into one solution.

Simple, parallel node deployment to scale out from small to large VM environments in small, 2U increments

Simplify and save: one solution, one refresh cycle, one generalist needed to manage the whole stack

Policy-based, global VM-centric management with automation, visibility, intelligence.

VM creation, backup, replication, and recovery with right-click operations from familiar interface.

Moves VMs quickly and globally from one site to another.

No LUNS, shares, or volumes to manage. Through a single interface, you have a global view into data centers as well as remote and branch offices.

To us, nothing says “industry leader” quite like being named an actual Leader in the 2021 Gartner® Magic Quadrant^TM for Primary Storage. For the third year in a row, we’re thrilled to be recognized for our completeness of vision and ability to execute.

Unpack the latest Forrester Total Economic Impact™ study — which reveals how HPE SimpliVity customers reduced TCO by 69%, while achieving a 192% return on investment with a short seven-month payback.

We were initially running 300 virtual desktops and needed to spin up 700 more to give our employees the flexibility to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using HPE SimpliVity, we were able to do so in just 12 minutes.” - Murat Zobu, System and Cloud Infrastructure Manager at MIGROS TICARET A.S.

HPE has fundamentally evolved the conception of what HCI can be in two ways: by moving from a software-defined experience to an AI-driven one — with the machine learning predictive analytics of HPE InfoSight — and by expanding the field of HCI use cases with the introduction of disaggregated HCI (dHCI) for mission-critical workloads.

IT leaders across industries know that data is at the heart of application workloads and the key to insight, innovation, and advantage. You need an intelligent data strategy to unleash the power of your data — and we're the intelligent IT experts. Based on articles originally published on CIO.com, we've released an eBook of actionable, real-world recommendations to drive your transformation forward.

EDGE-OPTIMIZED HCI MAKES A COMPELLING CASE OVER CLOUD

Explore the ways in which HPE’s intelligently simple, hyper-efficient, edge-optimized HCI experience has helped customers transform their operations and power their businesses.

Red Bull Racing Honda, a Formula One racing team, is in the business of speed — and it needs infrastructure that is, too.

With proprietary, F1-specific applications generating significant amounts of data, Red Bull Racing Honda needed a hyperconvergence solution for its growing storage needs for the virtualized estate.

HPE SimpliVity now provides the basis for Red Bull Racing Honda's VMware and VDI estate, in addition to providing the team’s trackside infrastructure for race-day analysis.

“HPE SimpliVity’s hyperconverged infrastructure enables us to get better answers quicker when we’re on the racetrack, and seconds count.”

After replacing its legacy systems with HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure, Red Bull Racing Honda recorded 4.5x faster performance, increased agility, and improved TCO.
