HPE completes acquisition of SimpliVity
 

At the beginning of the year, we saw HPE complete their aquisition of SimpliVity, a leading provider of software-defined, hyperconverged infrastructure.

The combination of HPE's best-in-class infrastructure, automation and cloud management software, with SimpliVity's industry-leading software-defined data management platform, enables HPE to deliver what could be the best and most comprehensive hyperconverged offering to the market.

HPE have announced how excited they are, not just for the value that this adds to their customers, but also the strength it add's to their company. 

Below is HPE's announcement on this exciting news

Adding SimpliVity’s innovative technology to our hyperconverged portfolio provides significant additional benefits, including:

  • Built-in enterprise data protection and resiliency to simplify backup and quickly restore operations  
  • Enterprise storage utilization and virtual machine (VM) efficiency to control costs and performance
  • Always-on compression and deduplication 
  • Policy-based VM-centric management to simplify operations and enable data mobility, making development teams and end users more productive
  • The addition of disaster recovery to our existing hyperconverged use cases -- VM vending, VDI, and Enterprise ROBO/LoB

Unrivaled Hybrid IT solutions.

These benefits build off what we already provide to our customers, using the combination of HPE Synergy and HPE 3PAR All-Flash Storage within our composable infrastructure. Together, these solutions, along with our recent acquisition of Cloud Cruiser, will continue to accelerate our ability to deliver unrivaled Hybrid IT solutions to our customers and partners around the world.

For SimpliVity customers and partners, there will be no immediate changes.

In the near future, we will bring our technologies together in a powerful way. To start, HPE will offer the SimpliVity OmniStack software qualified for ProLiant DL380 servers. Customers may order this new offering today with a targeted delivery date in May.

If you are a current SimpliVity customer or partner, current offering availability will not be disrupted or changed.  We will work with you to migrate to our new offerings at your own pace.  For current HPE customers and partners, we will continue to offer our existing hyperconverged products, the Hyper Converged 380 and the Hyper Converged 250 and provide a pathway to the SimpliVity based-offerings.

In the second half of 2017, we plan to bring the best of HPE and SimpliVity together, providing customers   game-changing innovations like “workspace” controls, which provide business leaders and developers with simple self-service portals to compose virtualized and containerized resources and enhanced business insight, including predictive analytics. This will give IT managers the tools they need to increase resource utilization and proactively respond to needs for new resources.
