HPE targets Nutanix, squeezes into hyperconvergence suit

#Hewlett-PackardEnterprise has #Nutanix in its sights, with a hyper-converged server due this month.

#HPE ’s chief executive @MegWhitman has revealed a ProLiant-based virtualisation server is coming, which she claimed would be easier and cheaper to use than Nutanix.

HPE is taking on some familiar old names including #Cisco, #Dell, #EMC and #VMware. Whitman promised installation in “minutes” using HP’s system, a “simple mobile array user experience” and automate IT operations “all at 20 per cent lower than Nutanix.”

“We believe this new system will allow us to quickly become a top player in the $5bn high-growth, #hyper-converged market,” she said.

Whitman unveiled HPE’s convergence play while announcing her company’s first-quarter fiscal 2016 results. HPE’s chief reckoned she felt “really good” about what’s coming, especially given it was built in house and what she reckoned was a “record time.”
