SIMPLIFY AND UNLOCK AGILITY

Budget restraints plague IT decision makers as management continues to ask them to do more with less. As such, organizations have turned to hyperconverged infrastructures (HCI) to meet budget requirements while continuing to meet critical application SLAs related to scalability, performance, and reliability. The all-flash HPE SimpliVity 325 offers organizations a lightweight, highly available, two-node solution that has the potential to cut costs even further when compared with traditional three-tier architecture, other hyperconverged offerings, and public cloud computing services. 

ESG completed a total cost of ownership analysis comparing a traditional infrastructure, a blend of other HCI offerings, and public cloud services to the HPE SimpliVity 325, with a goal of understanding the quantitative savings organizations can expect across five cost categories: cost of acquisition, data protection, administration, data center, and support. 

ESG found that HPE SimpliVity 325 delivers savings of 28% to 66% over three years for a single all-flash HCI solution compared to public cloud, traditional three-tier infrastructure, and other HCI solutions. Those savings for a single distributed edge deployment can grow to one million dollars, or more, when HPE SimpliVity 325 all-flash HCI solutions are deployed in ten or more distributed edge locations.
