Simplify Infrastructure Management with HPE Nimble Storage dHCI

HPE Nimble Storage dHCI is an intelligent platform with the flexibility of converged and the simplicity of HCI. It disaggregates compute and storage and integrates hyperconverged control to give enterprises simple infrastructure management on a flexible architecture. Built with the world’s most secure server, HPE ProLiant, and the self-managing flash storage of HPE Nimble Storage, this platform provides the flexibility to scale compute and storage independently for unpredictable growth and the data resiliency and performance needed for business-critical apps. Powered by HPE InfoSight, this platform is intelligently simple, resilient, and efficiently scalable.

Intelligently simple with native, full-stack intelligence from storage to virtual machines (VMs) and policy-based automation for virtualised environments. Features include a fast, self-service experience with simple setup and auto discovery for the entire cluster via VMware vCenter. All data services are integrated with VMware vSphere and VMware Virtual Volumes for a native VM experience. Also included are what-if simulations that eliminate guesswork when consolidating new applications, as well as app-aware recommendations for self-optimising performance and resources. Absolutely resilient and ready for demanding apps on a platform designed for 99.9999% availability (HPE Nimble Storage) and sub-ms of low latency at a consistent high performance. Features include data-centric visibility that extends across the infrastructure and across every VM. Advanced data services, like QoS and synchronous replication, ensure applications stay on and are always fast. Nimble Storage dHCI is efficiently scalable to eliminate overprovisioning and lower TCO compared to competitive platforms, It has the ability to independently scale compute and storage non-disruptively with industry-leading data efficiency guaranteed. With HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, enterprises can run faster with rack-to-apps in less than 15 minutes, end the fire-fighting with predictive analytics delivering 99.9999% data availability by HPE Nimble Storage, and optimise everything with higher productivity and maximum resource efficiency.

Intelligently Simple

VM administrators face resource silos and information overload that drain productivity. Complicated end-to-end infrastructure management takes precious time and puts them in unfamiliar territory. HPE Nimble Storage dHCI enables VM administrators to stand up full stack infrastructure including compute, storage, and network, in minutes, through the dHCI automation software. Ongoing management is easy and self-serviceable, from within VMware vCenter. Planning is simple, as resources are forecasted prescriptively across multiple tenants, powered by HPE InfoSight. The HPE Nimble Storage dHCI features provide a fast, self-service experience include unified management with simple setup and auto-discovery via VMware vCenter. The offering includes software-defined data services integrated with VMware vSphere and VMware vSphere Virtual Volumes for a native VM experience It also includes what-if simulations that help eliminate guesswork when consolidating new applications, as well as app-aware recommendations for self-optimizing performance and resources. HPE Nimble Storage dHCI has simplified lifecycle management with single-click, non-disruptive software upgrades for VMware ESX hosts, firmware, NimbleOS, and Nimble Connection Manager (NCM) at full scale.
