Announced at CeBIT 2017 in Germany, the HPE SimpliVity 380 is the first qualified server from HPE with SimpliVity OmniStack.

On February 17, HPE finalized the acquisition of SimpliVity and announced plans to deliver its first jointly developed hyperconverged offering.

The new HPE SimpliVity 380 powered by Intel delivers a powerhouse hyperconverged solution that simplifies IT by combining all infrastructure and advanced data services for virtualized workloads onto the bestselling server platform on the market, HPE ProLiant DL380.

The SimpliVity 380 is a compact, scalable 2U, rack-mounted building block that delivers server, storage and storage networking services. It also provides a set of functionality that enables improvements to the efficiency, management, protection, and performance of virtualized workloads – all at a fraction of the cost and complexity of today’s traditional infrastructure stack.

The SimpliVity 380 is an hyperconverged solution that deduplicates, compresses, and optimizes all data globally, improving performance, and guaranteeing 90% capacity savings across storage and backup. It is also a solution that delivers policy-based, VM-centric management to simplify day-to-day operations and enable data mobility, increasing productivity.

Other key features of new solution include:
    •    Assimilation of core datacenter functions: SimpliVity 380 combines the hypervisor, compute, storage, storage network switching, backup, replication, cloud gateway, caching, WAN optimization, real-time deduplication, and more.
    •    Cloud economics with enterprise capabilities: SimpliVity 380 delivers the agility, elasticity, and affordability of cloud computing coupled with the performance, reliability, and resiliency of on-premises infrastructure.
    •    Cost savings: Independent studies show that running VMs on SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure is 22% to 49% less expensive than running them in a comparable Amazon Web Services environment, when considering total costs over a three-year period.
