HPE to Deliver the Industry’s First Composable Infrastructure for VMware Private Clouds

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) at VMworld announced the industry’s first composable platform for VMware Cloud Foundation, based on HPE Synergy.

This solution will enable IT organizations to simplify their transformation to a hybrid IT infrastructure, deploy infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and private clouds in minutes and lower virtual machine (VM) costs compared to public clouds and traditional server racks.

Today, IT is under pressure to respond to line of business and developer initiatives with cloud speed, optimize their right mix of IT, including on-premises, hosted and public cloud, all while lowering capital and operational expenditures (CapEx and OpEx). The combination of HPE Synergy with VMware Cloud Foundation will enable customers to:

* Operate a single platform to run traditional bare metal, virtualized SAN-based environments and new vSAN-based workloads – HPE Synergy is the only platform available today that provides a single infrastructure for IT to dynamically compose their right mix of virtual, traditional and VMware Cloud Foundation, increasing business agility and resource utilization.

* Become an internal service provider of IaaS and private clouds – Using HPE Synergy Image Streamer, IT can deploy infrastructure and VMware Cloud Foundation software in minutes with a few simple clicks, to respond quickly to line of business and accelerate customers’ DevOps initiatives. By comparison, competitive solutions available today require multiple tools and steps.

* Perform at cloud speed – HPE Synergy offers the industry’s fastest platform for VMware environments. HPE Synergy recently set the world record VMmark 2.x Performance Benchmark, performing 41 percent faster than the previous top scoring server.

* Reduce CapEx and OpEx while increasing productivity – HPE Synergy is the industry’s first platform based on composable infrastructure, delivering VMs at a 29 percent lower cost compared to traditional architectures and up to 50 percent less than public clouds. In addition, customers can increase IT administrator productivity by up to three times, as customers are seeing triple the number of IT devices managed by a single administrator.
