SimpliVity Available With Lenovo Servers

Lenovo Enterprise Solutions, Pte Ltd and SimpliVity Corp. announced a partnership to deliver hyper-converged infrastructure solutions based on their joint technologies.

SimpliVity’s OmniStack data virtualization platform will be available as an integrated solution with Lenovo System x3650 servers through Arrow Electronics Inc.. The solution will be offered in the North America channel in Q4.

“Customers will benefit from SimpliVity’s new hyperconverged solution offerings, with Lenovo’s highly versatile enterprise servers as a foundation,” said Brian Hamel, VP and GM, Lenovo North America enterprise business group. “These high-performance systems will exponentially reduce data center complexity and costs for cloud-based services and mission-critical transactional systems.“

“The partnership and joint solution is truly driven by customer demand in the market,” commented Doron Kempel, CEO, SimpliVity. “Businesses desire the flexibility and performance of the Lenovo systems and the superior data efficiency, mobility, built-in data protection and global unified management capabilities that only SimpliVity’s hyperconverged solutions deliver.“

The OmniStack Solution running on x3650 M5 is a hyper-converged IT platform that provides all IT services below the hypervisor, including compute, storage, and networking, real-time data deduplication, compression, and optimization functions along with built-in backup, DR, and WAN optimization capabilities-all in a single device.

The enterprise-grade hyper-converged solution provides a scalable, modular, 2U building block of x86 resources offering all the functionality of traditional IT infrastructure. OmniStack eliminates IT expense and complexity by consolidating 8 to 12 data center components into a single shared resource pool with global unified management.

The x3650 M5 offers performance and pay-as-you-grow flexibility and is a choice for businesses. It is designed to lower operating costs by providing reliability, availability and serviceability to keep business-critical applications and cloud deployments running efficiently, and systems management tools that streamline deployment.

Benefits of the SimpliVity OmniStack Solution with Lenovo include:

• Simplified IT and 3x TCO savings through hyper-convergence
• Improved performance for mission-critical applications combined with 40:1 average data efficiency
• Enhanced ability to meet RPO and RTO objectives
• Improved IT agility with VM-centric management approach

OmniStack Solution with x3650 M5 is expected to ship in Q4 2015 in the US and Canada and will be distributed through Arrow Electronics. Customers should contact your Lenovo or SimpliVity sales representative.
