Analysis #HPE has closed its #SimpliVity acquisition and publicised software porting and migration plans but hasn't said anything about SimpliVity hardware moving to a #ProLiant server base. The second-largest #hyperconverged infrastructure appliance (HCIA) startup was bought for $650m, and so SimpliVity's hardware added to HPE's two-horse hardware product set – the HC 250 and HC 380 – both being ProLiant-based boxes. The HC 250 is an #Apollo 2000-based box with four server sleds, which supports both #vSphere and #Microsoft 's #HyperV. The HC 380 uses ProLiant DL380 server hardware and only supports vSphere. SimpliVity has its #OmniStack software, which is available for server vendors such as #Cisco , #Dell , #Huawei , and #Lenovo servers. OmniStack supports a multitude of hypervisors – vSphere, Hyper-V, #RedHat #JVM and #Citrix – which is good news for HPE's selling efforts. It also has its x86-based OmniCube HW, which scales up to a 32-node cluster. This hardware is used by, among many others, the Red Bull F1 Grand Prix team. There are five boxes: CN-1400 – 3-6TB effective capacity (after data reduction) for SME customers CN-2400 – 5-12TB capacity for mid-range CN-3400 – 18-36TB capacity for mid-range CN-5400 – 20-40TB capacity for high-end CN-5400-F – 20-40TB all-flash capacity for high-end (14 x 1.6TB Intel DC S3610 SATA 6Gbps SSDs) These products use an FPGA for data reduction.
