Comprehensive data protection and new container integration
protect the edge and accelerate application modernization
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced
enhancements to HPE SimpliVity for the enterprise edge, including
advancements in data protection with native backup to cloud and
centralized backup for compliance. Additionally, HPE is announcing
support for containers to run cloud-native applications at the
edge, and drive business transformation. New capabilities
include:
- HPE SimpliVity with HPE Cloud Volumes Backup enables
simple, efficient, flexible backup directly to the cloud from
multiple edge sites
- HPE SimpliVity enhanced integration with HPE StoreOnce
protects distributed edge sites with automated, app-aware policies
to easily and efficiently replicate apps and data directly to a
centralized HPE StoreOnce appliance for compliance and long-term
retention
- Kubernetes CSI Plugin for HPE SimpliVity provides
streamlined management and resilient, all-in-one hyperconverged
infrastructure (HCI) to run both container and virtual machine (VM)
workloads on a unified platform at the edge
“If you’re a retail company or a business with many stores and
locations, I would highly recommend HPE SimpliVity for your branch
offices and warehouses,” said Aleh Sadaunichy, Infrastructure
Solutions Architect, Staples Solutions. “The simplicity,
scalability, reliability, transcendent speed, and the ease of the
restores are why we choose this product. The comprehensive data
protection capabilities that include native backup to public cloud
are very compelling.”
Organizations are witnessing unprecedented application and data
growth at the edge, creating new opportunities to extract value
from data by running applications and processing data locally. They
are also bringing new, cloud-native applications to the edge, while
still supporting existing virtualized applications at edge
sites.
To harness this opportunity, HPE has delivered the industry’s
most intelligent and complete edge solution, including HPE Aruba
secure wireless and wired networking, and workload-optimized
infrastructure, to address the varying performance, resiliency,
scale, and data requirements at the edge.
The enterprise edge is a critical segment represented by
distributed sites including retail, hospitals, financial services,
and manufacturing. Organizations need edge computing infrastructure
that is radically simple to manage, with built-in resiliency and
efficient data protection to ensure apps are always-on and able to
rapidly recover data across sites.
HPE SimpliVity is a market-leading, intelligent HCI solution
optimized for the enterprise edge, with an efficient, all-in one
appliance form factor. The solution provides built-in data
protection with zero administration enabled by centralized
management and automation, along with industry-leading, guaranteed
data efficiency for better economics. HPE is now enhancing data
protection and its flexibility to run containers alongside VMs at
the edge.
”Our customers with businesses in edge environments turn to HPE
SimpliVity for its ease of use and outstanding economics,” said
Omer Asad, VP & GM, HCI, Primary Storage and Data Management
Services, HPE. “We’re continuing to invest in and develop new
capabilities for HPE SimpliVity that enable customers to leverage
edge and container based data to innovate, accelerate delivery of
new applications, and provide differentiated experiences to
customers.”
Comprehensive edge to cloud data protection
HPE SimpliVity is architected with resiliency and data
protection capabilities that deliver high availability and instant
recovery for workloads at the edge, including databases and general
virtualization. Built-in, remote backups across a multi-site HPE
SimpliVity federation enable efficient, rapid recovery for
applications across distributed sites. With HPE SimpliVity, VM data
is rapidly and automatically backed up to another node, so if one
node goes down, businesses never experience a disruption. In fact,
a 1TB VM can be backed up or restored in <60 seconds1. This is
critical in ensuring business continuity in the event of natural
disasters or protecting data against security threats such as
ransomware.
With the introduction of cloud backup and a centralized, backup
store, HPE SimpliVity delivers the most comprehensive data
protection solution for the edge.
Extending data protection to the cloud
HPE SimpliVity with HPE Cloud Volumes Backup delivers simple,
efficient, flexible backup directly to the cloud. This solution
enables multiple edge sites to backup to cloud securely in three
simple clicks or via policy automation directly from vCenter
without additional backup software or hardware infrastructure
required. Backups can be simply restored to multiple, edge sites
without any egress charges, unlike other clouds. HPE Cloud Volumes
Backup optimizes costs with consumption-based pricing, minimal data
transfer for efficient bandwidth usage, and efficient data storage
in the cloud.
Centralized, cost effective backup for long-term retention
and compliance
HPE SimpliVity enhanced integration with HPE StoreOnce reduces
complexity, cost, and risk by protecting distributed edge sites
with automated, app-aware policies to easily and efficiently
replicate apps and data directly to a centralized HPE StoreOnce
appliance. HPE SimpliVity with HPE StoreOnce is ideal for customers
with strict compliance or long-term retention service level
agreements (SLAs) on data. Businesses can create or update edge to
core backup policies in less than one minute for thousands of VMs
across dozens of sites2, easily backup and restore data in three
simple clicks, and routinely achieve 20:1 deduplication ratios
resulting in high data efficiency3.
Application Modernization for the Edge
Across industries, organizations are transforming how they
develop and deploy applications across hybrid cloud – with IT
needing infrastructure to be more agile, more automated, and
policy-driven to support evolving virtualization and
container-based architectures. For cloud native applications and
containers, organizations need persistent storage for stateful
applications, requiring software-defined infrastructure that
enables self-service automation for developers. Container-based
frameworks, such as Kubernetes, are not only built and deployed in
the data center, but at the edge as well.
HPE SimpliVity now supports the Container Storage Interface
(CSI) Driver for Kubernetes to run container-based workloads at the
edge. HPE offers a simple and unified experience across HPE
SimpliVity to Kubernetes to accelerate the journey to a
container-based architecture. Having support for CSI and persistent
volumes enables both VMs and container workloads to run on the same
HCI platform at edge sites, which eliminates the need for dedicated
infrastructure for containers. For edge and remote sites, customers
gain a simplified management experience and differentiated data
protection with the ability to backup or restore persistent volumes
in less than one minute4, enhancing cloud native applications
deployed on containers. Customers can now modernize applications at
the edge with a unified HCI solution while ensuring apps are
always-on and always-protected.
Availability
The HPE SimpliVity 4.1.0, is now available worldwide at no
additional charge for HPE SimpliVity customers with valid support
contracts. All new features and capabilities announced are
supported with VMware vSphere 7.0. HPE Cloud Volumes Backup support
is available in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
