HPE Synergy Overview 7
Infrastructure categories - Overview Composable Application optimized Traditional Siloed Infrastructure Complex processes Static, siloed IT Silo defined Physical, virtual, and containerized workloads Converged Improve staff productivity Masks some complexity with people and software Preconfigured physical IT Hardware defined Targeted workloads Hyper-converged Simplify deployments Remove complexity by eliminating SAN Fluid virtual IT Software defined storage Virtual workloads Simplify Infrastructure as a Service Hardware & Software architected as one Fluid IT Software defined everything Physical, virtual and containerized workloads Composability Operations optimized
HPE Synergy: Engine for the Idea Economy Composer Integrated software-defined intelligence to self-discover, auto-integrate, provision and scale from racks to rows Composable Frame Everything needed to run applications, so IT can be quickly setup and consumed Auto-integrating makes scaling simple and automated at rack/row scale Composable Fabric Rack scale multi-fabric connectivity eliminates standalone TOR switches Composable Compute Provides the performance, scalability, density optimization, storage simplicity, and configuration flexibility Composable Storage High-density integrated storage to compose any compute with any storage (SDS, DAS, SAN)
VMware Cloud Foundation with HPE Synergy: Highlights 11
HPE Synergy is now certified for VMware vsan The first composable Infrastructure certified for vsan HPE Synergy A perfect choice for vsan A core value prop of vsan is that it aggregates all local storage disks both SSD and HDD available on the hosts (compute modules) into a single data store shared by all compute modules. With traditional rack servers, compute and storage do not generally scale independently, but with HPE Synergy, you can scale storage and compute separately. This makes it a perfect fit for vsan solutions, allowing for storage capacity growth without requiring additional compute resources to host them. Key Benefits: Disaggregated storage and compute HPE Synergy with VMware vsan provides the flexibility of thinly provisioning software-defined storage volumes, independent of compute resources. High-Speed interconnect between frames HPE Synergy provides a flat east-west Ethernet topology. This allows iscsi storage to be shared on a low-latency server-to-server connection, including between HPE Synergy frames. Single infrastructure for any workload HPE Synergy helps enterprises run vsan in a single infrastructure, addressing the needs of both traditional and emerging business applications. See why HPE Synergy is a winning vsan solution in the VMware blog vsan configuration details for our supported Ready Nodes visit the VMware vsan Compatibility Guide for HPE 12
VMware Cloud Foundation & HPE Synergy Consolidate traditional data center applications and private cloud onto a single composable infrastructure. DEPLOY Infrastructure Faster SIMPLIFY Lifecycle Operations INCREASE Productivity Reduce Cost Efficiently scale fabrics across multiple frames Up to 60 compute modules per fabric Simplify management Fewer devices to maintain Maximize data throughput and minimize latency Only one hop and no oversubscription between VMs Reduce hardware complexity and cost Consolidate interconnects and cables Eliminate TOR switches
Synergy + Cloud Foundation Key Value Proposition Feature Synergy creates pools of resources Compute, Network(Virtual Connect) and Storage in one platform Synergy integrates Oneview management into the composer and scales with additional frames Synergy reduces the number of firmware trains to one (instead of Compute, Network and Storage trains). VCF includes VCF Installation Appliance (VIA) to significantly ease installation of VM, networking and hyper-converged storage. VCF includes a SDDC manager to provision new services and maintain the codes base of the VMware components. VCF leverages your existing licenses. Benefit Synergy eliminates the need for Top Of Rack Switches(TOR). Save significant cost. Synergy management is resourced appropriately for the size of the deployment. Synergy reduces the complexity of upgrades. VCF is installed quickly and correctly resulting in better time to production and less errors(automated). VCF SDDC manager eliminates looking up compatibility of upgrades and automates the installation. Saves time and increases accuracy. VCF allows migration of licenses to reduce costs. 14
