HPE HCI

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) delivers simplicity and agility, and now it's time to bring that experience to business-critical apps and mixed workloads. HCI is increasingly looking to streamline operations, unlock agility, and do more with less. HCI brought an experience that makes it simple to deploy, manage, and upgrade infrastructure. As organizations look to get this experience to business‑critical apps and mixed workloads, HCI needs to do more to meet the resiliency, performance, and efficiency required.

HCI has evolved to HCI 2.0—with a new architecture that delivers the HCI experience of unified management and VM-centric operations with higher availability, faster performance, and flexible scaling. The following features enable organizations to simplify operations and unlock agility while ensuring their applications are always-on and always-fast, and at the best economics:

• Intelligently Simple – HPE 2.0 reduces complexity by streamlining IT operations with AI-driven predictive analytics. It's simple to deploy, manage, scale, and support. 
• Absolutely Resilient and Secure – HPE 2.0 is resilient by design: Costly downtime and firefighting are virtually eliminated with 99.9999% availability.
• Efficient – Unlike traditional HCI, HCI 2.0 achieves a lower TCO by scaling compute and storage independently. HCI 2.0 also allows for a lower cost of entry—you don't need to add unnecessary hardware to achieve resilience since it fully utilizes the resources you already have.
• Expert Support – Businesses have better things to do than fighting IT fires. HCI 2.0 from HPE means time and skills can be used more efficiently because problem-solving is left to predictive analytics and expert support services.

HPE HCI 2.0 is an excellent fit with HPE GreenLake. This service offering delivers on‑demand capacity and planning, combining the agility and economics of a public cloud with the security and performance of on-premises IT.
