HPE SimpliVity 2600 is 100% software optimized, ideal for VDI
Technical Marketing Engineering has a preview of the new and exciting stuff the engineering team is developing as the product is built. The last couple of months my team was focused on getting the HPE SimpliVity 2600 platform complete, and the team was all happy to see the new platform launched last week. For more than a year, HPE SimpliVity 380 has been providing customers with superior data efficiency, reliable performance, data protection, and ease of management. A recent update included a choice of hypervisors for virtualized environments. Whether using VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V, HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged solutions powered by Intel® provide the same VM-centric management and mobility, integrated data protection, and guaranteed data efficiency customers expect and count on to realize significant business value from their IT datacenter environment.
Choosing between an all-flash array and hyperconverged
Often customers who need more storage or want to update old arrays ask this question: “Should I use an all-flash array (or some other external flash storage) or should I invest in a hyperconverged offering?” In this post, I want to give you some things to consider when making that choice. If you want to listen to my “radio voice” reading this blog post, click here to listen to it. At the beginning of the year, I had a blog post that looked at our all-flash array and flash storage portfolio that included some basic positioning of the MSA, HPE Nimble Storage, 3PAR, XP7 and HPE SimpliVity. If it’s not obvious, the MSA, Nimble Storage, 3PAR and XP7 are all disk arrays while SimpliVity is a hyperconverged solution. I often hear customers who need more storage or want to update old arrays asking this question: “Should I continue to use an external storage array or should I invest in […]
How a holistic hyperconverged approach can make IT more efficient
Achieving simplicity is a constant battle within data centers, because complexity causes major problems and unnecessary work for IT teams and the systems they manage. Consider the domino effect that can happen when one part of the environment requires upstream or downstream upgrades. The time it takes to investigate and plan these upgrades leads to the classic keeping the lights on struggle that prevents many companies from truly using IT to innovate for the business. To tame complexity, many are turning to hyperconverged solutions. Complexity wastes time and resources In legacy environments, with so many different types of systems needing to interact with each other to accomplish business objectives, the potential for error goes up considerably. The higher chance of failure is made worse by the fact that so many interactions can make diagnosing the failure even more difficult. To make things worse, if the systems are from different vendors there is a […]
6 ways to protect data in a dangerous world with HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged
It’s a dangerous world out there. Not just in foreign lands, but also much closer to home: your own data center. The data your business uses to service customers, innovate, and remain competitive is always under the risk of attack. Some attackers want to steal your data; others simply want to delete it in order to damage your business. Currently, an increasing number of attackers attempt to “lock” your data, and keep it inaccessible unless you play a ransom. This is the scourge of ransomware. Most likely, you’ve heard about ransomware’s effects on an attacked organization, and hopefully you also know that, for the unprepared, the odds are against you. Many victims of cybercrime never regain access to their data, regardless of ransom payment. The fact is, the best way to protect your data is to have a solid data protection and recovery system in place.
