What if you didn’t have to deal with all of that? What if you could just make your life easier.
Imagine for a second that your IT environment was split in half:
CLICK
All IT above the hypervisor and all IT below it.
CLICK (a bunch of times to fill in the left)
Below, you’ve got the entire legacy stack or all of those 8-12 different appliances we talked about on the last slide producing that massive complexity and inefficiency.
Imagine for a second, that instead
The hyperconverged future is now. Imagine
All IT below the hypervisor
Deployed anywhere. On-premises, in the cloud, in your remote sites
Running on x86 resources
Powered by SimpliVity. Imagine if you could have everything on the left. EVERYTHING. At the cost and efficiency of the cloud, running anywhere, on commodity infrastructure, without tradeoff…giving you all of the capabilities and features that you’re used to in a small footprint.
Imagine.
How is that possible? Let’s show you how.

12. The Leap from “Traditional” to “Hyper-converged”

13. Environment Dell Equalogic SANs well past end of life
Existing SAN management tools difficult to work with
Heavy dependency on vendor for remote monitoring and expertise
Data replication from primary to backup taking forever
WAN not provisioned to facilitate SAN replication
Limited support staff

14. Options Outsource – Infrastructure as a Service
Traditional – ESX cluster with SAN + add on for backup
EMC
Dell Equalogic
Hyper-converged
Simplivity

15. Considerations
Chosen technology solution needed to be current, preferably future looking
Ability to scale was critical
Ability to test systems
Leverage existing investments in infrastructure (e.g. vmware)
Short training curve for staff to take ownership
More immediate and granular recovery ability than site recovery manager affords…and simpler

16. Decision Why Simplivity? Simple architecture
Simple management (tab on existing tools)
Granular recovery at server level, done in seconds
Deduplication reduces bandwidth drain
Cost
…And since becoming a customer, top-notch service and support!
