Hyper-converged pioneer #SimpliVity has opened a research and development office in Seattle near to #Microsoft, a sign that it is close to adding #Hyper-V support.
SimpliVity’s OmniCube appliances combine storage, compute and virtualization. SimpliVity has supported VMware hypervisors since its start in 2013 and added KVM support in 2015 but still lacks support for Hyper-V.
SimpliVity chief marketing officer Marianne Budnik said #OmniCubes will support Hyper-V in early 2016. She said the vendor will have around 30 developers in Seattle “working day in and day out to advance all things #Microsoft.”
SimpliVity’s goal is for its OmniStack data virtualization platform to support any hypervisor, x86 server, cloud provider and management tool.
Budnick said SimpliVity would not follow rival #Nutanix in developing its own native hypervisor, though. Nutanix last June launched its #Acropolis hypervisor. That alleviates the need for an outside hypervisor, and also can help Nutanix customers move workloads across different vendors’ hypervisors. Nutanix also supports #VMware, Hyper-V and KVM hypervisors.
