HPE Hyper Converged Reviews

Hyperconverged is used in an environment where the footprint in the data center is restricted. It is advantageous from a sustainability perspective since the networking, storage, and compute are all located within one unit.

The most beneficial feature is the life cycle management.

HPE Hyper Converged is a processor.

The product enables me to use any software or database. I can connect it from multiple connections. It is a simple product. I do not have any problem with the solution.

We usually work on how to converge to web-end projects for end customers, where they either do an infrastructure refresh or consolidate their disaster recovery secondary side. 

There's also a need for data protection and backup, where they need to be hyper-converged to support business continuity across sites.

It's a very complete product with residencies to protect data and secure it end-to-end. It includes storage, computing, and networking, offering a fully ten-key solution. 

We have a very good return on investment due to data savings through compression and deduplication methods. 

It simplifies IT management and enhances security, including the end-to-end security of the IT data engine. The product is complete, simple, and provides visibility. 

Not to forget, the AI intelligence of HPE InfoSight offers predictive analytics, proactively protecting the end customer. This proactive approach is crucial for an IT product to anticipate incidents before they occur. 

So, AI is also a part of it, enhancing the customer experience for their business. These are the main advantages and differentiators of HPE against the competition.  

We use this solution for information systems.

One of the solution's strong points is the deduplication capabilities of SimpliVity. The technology is already matured, and it's one of the strengths of HPE compared to other competitors.

I use HPE Hyper Converged in my company as it provides two services, namely, HPE SimpliVity and HPE Nimble Storage dHCI. I use HPE Hyper Converged in my company as a solution to help me with the VDI part.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that HPE SimpliVity has an in-built backup solution. With HPE Hyper Converged, you get a cost-efficient tool because HPE provides both HCI and hardware. If you go with VMware and Nutanix, they charge you for Hyper Converged HCI software, while you will have to get hardware from Dell or HP.

It is easy to manage; the administration is simpler. It saves a lot of rack space in the data center because you can consolidate 20 servers into three to five nodes. The client will be able to benefit from power savings and cost savings as well.

Scalability is an issue because it becomes very expensive. When you need to upgrade memory, you have to upgrade memory across the nodes. Suppose a customer has gone with a three-node HCI solution, then to increase the memory, you have to do it across the three nodes.

Our primary use case is for infrastructure and VDI environment. I'm an infrastructure architect.

I like the backup resolution updates.

The solution helps in building virtualized environments faster compared to traditional infrastructure setups.

The solution's technical support services could be better.
