HPE Hyper Converged Benefits

One of the solution's strong points is the deduplication capabilities of SimpliVity. The technology is already matured, and it's one of the strengths of HPE compared to other competitors.

We had four ESX hosts and a big storage rack. We needed to replace it really quickly. It's all VMware stuff and it involved moving it over. The unit came in. Our lead architect spent an hour with it, figured out a couple IP addresses that it needed to have, and it was up and running in four hours. He was able to migrate all the workloads off the old equipment in three days. From the time it came into the building, it took three days. Everything was moved over.

He was moving things slowly at first, moving non-critical things during the day. Then once we saw it was non-impact, he just moved the rest of it. That old equipment was ready to go just like that. This is a C250, which doesn't have the back up and all the extra features that SimpliVity has, but if they're delivering that kind of functionality in the same way that they delivered the C250, then that'd be great.

I'm not using the solution in my data center but for customer systems integration. The solution is not installed in my data center. We use it in customer offices.

We install and configure the HPE Hyper Converged device for our customers. They shared with us that they had a positive experience using it in production.

In my company, there are more than 2,000 users. This does not include our clients. The initial deployment of HPE Hyper Converged is a dimension that is going to be here in the future.

We value the ability it offers to create a fault-tolerant site. At the moment, the solution permits us to use a default domain but is not supportive of many simultaneous customers. HPE offers many enterprise solutions for our business clients.

It helped our business continuity. For example, if you have a failed disk or you have some errors, the system keeps running and you have time to fix it. The HPE computer center is notified automatically and they help us fix the problems.

Before we bought the HPE Hyper Converged servers, we had scattered systems and servers. Our data was scattered. When the solution came into place, we were able to connect all our data and organize it in one place. Now, our storage and IT are at an enterprise level with all the necessary controls and restrictions being enacted.

We will also be using the HPE Hyper Converged solution for simulations going forward once we install SAP.

Before deploying the product, we did not have any enterprise IT infrastructure. Now, with the HC380 deployment, we succeeded in building all the required servers, organizing the data and protecting it, which has increased our operational efficiency and level. 

Now, we have flexibility thanks to HPE HC380 and VMware.
