Today's businesses need a hyperconverged solution that combines not only servers and storage, but all other IT devices below the hypervisor. That's exactly what the HPE SimpliVity 380 provides. HPE SimpliVity 380 is an enterprise‐grade solution that dra- matically simplifies IT by combining all infrastructure and advanced data services for virtualized workloads — including guaranteed data efficiency, data protection, and VM‐centric management and mobility — into one powerful hypercon- verged platform. At the core of HPE SimpliVity 380 is the HPE SimpliVity Data Virtualization Platform, which guarantees 90 percent capacity savings across VM storage and backup through de‐duplication, compression, and optimization. The solution provides the highest levels of data integrity and availability ensured by built‐in resilience, backup, and replication and includes simple, intuitive global VM‐centric management and mobility that simplifies day‐to‐day operations and enables seamless data mobility. The HPE SimpliVity 380 dramatically improve overall effi- ciency with TCO savings of 73 percent compared to tradi- tional infrastructure and 49 percent compared to public cloud. HPE SimpliVity 380 is based on the highly configurable HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Server. Combined with VMware vSphere, for increased storage, network, compute, and graph- ics options, this platform significantly improves flexibility in deployment and enables you to adjust storage, compute, and network capacity as your business needs change. As you grow, simply order identically configured nodes, and know your expansion will occur automatically at power up. Composable infrastructure At the top of the data center architecture pyramid of today lies composable infrastructure. Composable infrastructure carries with it a number of characteristics and has a number of points of contrast with the other options discussed in this chapter, which you can see in Table 6‐1.
