143 HPE Simplivity Testimonials

"IT infrastructure has indeed become a nightmare. It all started with open systems and for good reasons. But by now the IT infrastructure looks like a maze, requiring several IT experts to manage. The customer needs to buy myriad devices and software to store, move, monitor, protect and manage data and applications. If this was OK with large enterprises (and it is not) it certainly is a disaster for mid-size companies. SimpliVity has assimilated compute, network, storage – and variety of deduplication, compression, protection, acceleration and WAN optimization capabilities – in a way that significantly simplifies and reduces cost to bring sanity back to the IT administrator, which in this case will be the VMware administrator. The name SimpliVity is a good representation of what they do. I expect to see this trend become a flood in the next three years."

“[With HPE SimpliVity Hyperconverged Infrastructure] we have significantly reduced the complexity of our IT environment and now have a much more efficient backup solution. In the next year, we will greatly reduce the maintenance costs for our IT infrastructure.”

“We were able to reduce our data center footprint, reduce power costs, and, most importantly, our users are finally happy with our VDI performance.”

"We’ve not only greatly improved performance, but also reduced our hardware infrastructure foot print and simplified the management of our VMware environment.”

“SimpliVity provides an effective way for businesses to grow their IT infrastructure without employing a large staff. I don’t need a blade guy and a SAN guy. I can hire a systems administrator and that type of a person can manage our entire environment simply and efficiently. The SimpliVity product is a dream come true for a small business that is growing. It has built-in backup and deduplication. If I need storage or processing power I just add another OmniCube.”

“OmniStack with Cisco UCS is the ideal combination of a revolutionary approach to data efficiency and reliable, time tested industry-leading virtualization technology. SimpliVity allowed us to complete a data center migration in tandem with a full hardware refresh, all with minimal downtime and dramatically simplified logistics. VMs moved from one physical location to another in minutes or seconds.”

“Our new SimpliVity environment simply improved our turnaround time when deploying new services. It makes the management of the environment a lot easier, we need less bandwidth for our DR site, we have a lot more space in our data center, and we use less electricity for cooling. It’s a total win situation.”

“SimpliVity’s OmniCube simplifies everything that we are trying to do in a way that no other product can. Having exceeded our critical disaster recovery needs, OmniCube drastically reduced our annual data center maintenance costs.”

“One of the nice things we really liked about the SimpliVity solution was that all administration is done within VMware’s vCenter. The plug-in allowed us to not only view performance for each data center but also allowed us to view performance per virtual machine—a very nice, slick and clean interface.”

"With SimpliVity we improved application performance and consolidated four racks of legacy equipment into a single cabinet. Our power, cooling and management costs have decreased dramatically."

“SimpliVity has allowed us to improve our VM performance and availability, and we can now recover from system failures seamlessly across sites in minutes, not hours.”

“HPE SimpliVity Hyperconverged Infrastructure enabled us to successfully migrate our entire virtual machine infrastructure from 10 legacy hosts onto a two node HPE SimpliVity Hyperconverged Infrastructure cluster, including disaster recovery protection within a month. This would have been impossible to do on legacy hardware.”

"SimpliVity provides a unique platform for OSN, enabling us to rapidly turn up new services with minimal impact on operations, at minimal cost.”

"SimpliVity significantly improves the performance of our mission-critical applications. With OmniCube we can generate data-intensive Cognos business analytics reports much faster, without generating CPU alarms."

“We moved everything back to the old equipment so we could reconfigure our OmniCube federation to utilize a 10GbE switch. After we did that, we saw performance dip—the servers and storage were much slower than they were on the OmniCube.”
