Acquired by HP roughly two years ago, the server line known as SimpliVity represents a strategic move into the “hyper-converged infrastructure” sector. These hyper-converged systems, including the HP SimpliVity Server, consolidate information processing, data storage, and networking services into a unified solution for businesses and organizations. Integrating SimpliVity’s software and hardware with its industry-leading servers, HP positions itself as a strong competitor in the expanding hyper-converged infrastructure market. The incorporation of HPE SimpliVity technology into HP’s existing solutions offers increased flexibility, robust data protection, efficient compression, deduplication, and optimized VM management.
In its G10 Servers, HP describes the SimpliVity Data Virtualization platform architecture as “an object-oriented storage tool with data optimization and data service techniques.” The design of the HPE SimpliVity 380, a hyperconverged device, incorporates data deduplication and compression, leading to superior network performance. HP’s advanced server platforms, including the HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged series, provide a robust foundation for the success of HP SimpliVity. From a hardware perspective, the HP SimpliVity Server is based on the new models of HP G10 servers. While the company’s previous servers are still supported, the goal is to further integrate these products with the ProLiant and Apollo product lines, thereby simplifying the support and validation processes for the company and, by extension, for the consumer.
HPE Simplivity 380 gen10
For example, one type of HP SimpliVity server is the HPE simplivity 380 server. This server is a system that requires a space of 2 units and is based on the G10 server. The system uses an OmniStack accelerator card to transfer data reduction processes from the CPU to the ASIC chip. In this way it can reduce the amount of space required for data storage as much as possible.
HPE SimpliVity 2600 G10
In addition to the HPE SimpliVity 380, HP has developed and marketed another SimpliVity system based on Apollo servers. This server model, called the HP SimpliVity 2600, offers a maximum of 4 separate node servers in a single chassis of 2 units. This solution is mostly designed for use in cases such as branch offices of organizations, small offices and VDI. These types of servers are usually used where there are fewer “delay sensitive” tools. These servers take up less space than HPE simplivity 380 G10 server and can use smaller chassis. This tool provides network administrators with built-in backup and disaster recovery plan capabilities.
The most prominent feature of the 2600 is the flexibility, ease of operation, and availability of the server. The tool has the flexibility to support both Hyper-V and VMware platforms. This device also supports cloud space. Although most organizations today use VMware, Hyper-V is also popular in certain areas, such as education. In any of these cases, setting up and managing VMs by this server will be easy. This management is mainly done within these platforms. SimpliVity also supports products from many other companies, such as Veeam.
HP SimpliVity Server features
There are a variety of graphical environments for working with the HPE SimpliVity server, such as the G10 server, thus simplifying its use. SimpliVity provides comprehensive integration with VMware that allows users to manage storage and functionality through a vSphere Web Client. This includes complete VM operations, including retrieving a VM, recovering specific files, or splitting backup areas per VM.
The original and unique performance of the SimpliVity server also appears when the tool is used with the vSphere cluster. This allows users to manage things like creating a new data store from an existing storage, viewing the capacity of network arrays, and searching across backups.
HPE SimpliVity HyperGuarantee is a set of features that ensure data efficiency and protection policy across the cluster. This feature of the G10 server also guarantees simple and fast recovery configurations. SimpliVity is not only a HyperConverged Infrastructure system, it is also used for data availability.
Having global dedupe pools allows the HP SimpliVity platform to be data-efficient. In this setup, only new data blocks are sent to other clusters for replication, minimizing the space occupied by HP storage. This also enables faster replication of backup data for network users in organizations. As the volume of data decreases, it is transferred more quickly during the backup process. Some may transmit data over satellite links, which are typically slow; however, the HPٍ SimpliVity system does not rely on the replicate block method to expedite data transfer over the WAN. Instead, it employs an algorithm and metadata to transmit only unique data. Backup policies for users and network administrators are conveniently managed through vSphere.
