Features and Benefits

HPE InfoSight for HPE SimpliVity enables predictive data analytics
For SimpliVity nodes HPE InfoSight provides system details at the federation, cluster, and host level for
historic capacity utilization, trends, resource consumption and prediction. Alleviates support issues and
reduces operational expenses with automated wellness alerts and case creation. Provides a unified view of
HPE SimpliVity assets such as Datastore, VM, Backups, Capacity, and IOPS.
Fully integrated system
Combines x86 resources, storage, and storage networking in a smaller form factor, single-socket, entry level
hyperconverged system. Simplifies management and delivers great cost efficiency and agility with increased
visibility and control.
Peak and predictable performance
The all-flash solution provides predictable and linear performance at near-wire speeds with reduced latency.
Software-optimized inline deduplication, compression, and optimization helps minimize I/O and network
traffic, improving performance while delivering great storage and bandwidth efficiency.
Scale in and scale out
Easily expand or shrink configurations as your needs change. Each node supports a large number of fully
protected virtual machines (VMs), with the networked collection of nodes at both local and remote sites
managed as a single entity.
VM centricity and mobility
Enables all actions, policies, and management at the VM level. Global unified management and integration
with established administrative systems streamline operations and improve IT agility.
Dramatic TCO reduction
Single AMD EPYC processor architecture allows for a low-cost, 1U 1P, performance solution for your
virtualized workloads with core based hypervisor licensing costs (within the VMware Core count guidelines).
Drastically reduce the need to purchase multiple discrete components, optimize storage capacity with
guaranteed 10:1 data efficiency, and prevent over-provisioning for performance and capacity with on-
demand expansion.

Cloud backup / Cloud storage

HPE SimpliVity with HPE Backup Archive with Cloud Bank Storage allows backing up data to 3rd party
cloud services via StoreOnce.

Secondary, centralized backup

HPE SimpliVity with HPE StoreOnce protects data center and distributed edge sites by easily and efficiently
replicating applications and data directly to a centralized HPE StoreOnce appliance for compliance and long-
term retention requirements. HPE SimpliVity with HPE StoreOnce also supports Data Immutability to protect
against ransomware.

− Memory DIMM availability with a server platform is dependent upon completion of certification testing.
− The maximum memory speed is a function of the memory type, memory configuration, and processor model.
− Memory compatibility may vary or be limited within a specific server family depending upon the specific
configuration being requested. Because each server environment and requirements can vary, memory
compatibility is based not only upon the server family, but may also be affected by the amount and type of
additional hardware options installed within a specific server configuration. For this reason, some HPE
memory DIMMs may be qualified for a server model or family and yet occasionally not be supported with
limited configurations within that server family. Please consult with the HPE server QuickSpecs or your HPE
representative if you have any questions regarding memory compatibility with a specific HPE.
