Finalist: Silk, Silk Cloud Data Platform

EXTENDING HYPERCONVERGENCE

Virtual machine (VM) administrators today are challenged by system complexity requiring multidomain experience, the pressure to support both traditional and modern applications, fighting VM sprawl, while being asked to reduce cost.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) addresses these challenges—enabling
compute, storage, and networking functions to be decoupled from the underlying infrastructure. It is an ideal architecture that makes it simple to deploy, manage and upgrade infrastructure when scaling compute and storage together. There’s a need to evolve HCI to HCI 2.0— with a new architecture that delivers the HCI experience of unified management and VM-centric operations with higher availability, faster performance, and flexibility at scale. HPE Nimble Storage dHCI lets VM administrators unlock agility and accelerate time to market on a platform designed for business-critical application
and mixed workloads.

HPE NIMBLE STORAGE DHCI

Taking HCI further, HPE Nimble Storage dHCI overcomes the limitations preventing HCI from supporting more demanding applications and workloads. Powered with HPE InfoSight, the industry’s most advanced artificial intelligence for infrastructure,2 HPE Nimble Storage dHCI gives enterprises ultimate simplicity for their virtualized environments with fast application performance, always-on data resilience, and resource efficiency.

INTELLIGENTLY SIMPLE

VM administrators face resource silos and information overload that drain
productivity. Complicated end-to-end infrastructure management takes precious time and puts them in unfamiliar territory.
HPE Nimble Storage dHCI enables VM administrators to stand up full stack
infrastructure including compute, storage, and network, in minutes, through the dHCI automation software. Ongoing management is easy and self-serviceable, from within VMware vCenter®. Planning is simple, as
resources are forecasted prescriptively across multiple tenants, powered by
HPE InfoSight.

The HPE Nimble Storage dHCI features provide a fast, self-service experience include unified management with simple setup and auto-discovery via VMware vCenter. The offering includes software-defined data services integrated with VMware vSphere® and VMware vSphere® Virtual Volumes™ for a native VM experience It also includes what-if simulations that help eliminate guesswork when consolidating new applications, as well as app-aware recommendations for self-optimizing performance and resources. HPE Nimble Storage dHCI has simplified lifecycle management with single-click, non-disruptive software upgrades for VMware ESXi™ hosts, firmware, NimbleOS, and Nimble Connection Manager (NCM) at full scale.
