HPE SimpliVity 380
Data sheet
Features and benefits
• Fully integrated system: Combines
x86 resources, storage, and storage
networking in a single hyperconverged
system. Simplifies management and
delivers great cost eiciency and agility
with increased visibility and control.
• Peak and predictable performance:
The all-flash solution provides
predictable and linear performance at
near-wire speeds with reduced latency.
Hardware-assisted inline deduplication,
compression, and optimization helps
minimize I/O and network traic,
improving performance while delivering
great storage and bandwidth eiciency.
• Scale in and scale out: Easily expand
or shrink configurations as your needs
change. Each node supports a large
number of fully protected virtual
machines (VMs), with the networked
collection of nodes at both local and
remote sites managed as a single entity.

Is Hyperconverged Cost-Competitive with the
Cloud? Evaluator Group, February 2016
For IT leaders struggling to achieve the agility and economics of the cloud, with the control
and governance of on-premises IT, HPE SimpliVity 380 delivers a powerhouse hyperconverged
solution—running some of the world’s most eicient and resilient data centers. A market
and customer satisfaction leader, the solution dramatically simplifies IT by combining all
infrastructure and advanced data services for virtualized workloads onto the bestselling server
platform in the market.

HPE SimpliVity 380, available on HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Servers, is a compact, scalable 2U
rack-mounted building block that delivers server, storage, and storage networking services. It
also delivers a complete set of advanced functionality that enables dramatic improvements to
the eiciency, management, protection, and performance of virtualized workloads—at a fraction
of the cost and complexity of today’s traditional infrastructure stack.
TCO savings
HPE SimpliVity 380 assimilates 8 to 12 core data center functions such as the hypervisor,
compute, storage, storage network switching, backup, replication, cloud gateway, caching,
WAN optimization, real-time deduplication, and more. It delivers the performance, reliability,
availability, security, eiciency, backup, and disaster recovery that enterprises expect, in a fully
integrated, easy-to-deploy system. Furthermore, the HPE SimpliVity solution consolidates these
capabilities into a single x86 building block that scales out with additional nodes, resulting in
up to three-fold TCO savings.

Cloud economics with enterprise capabilities
Enterprises today seek the agility, elasticity, and aordability promised by cloud computing.
However, IT organizations also want the performance, reliability, and resiliency of on-premises
infrastructure. HPE SimpliVity 380 delivers both. Independent studies show that running
virtual machines on on-premises HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure is 22% to 49%
less expensive than running them in a comparable Amazon Web Services environment, when
considering total costs over a three-year period.

• VM centricity and mobility: Enables all
actions, policies, and management at the
VM level. Global unified management
and integration with established
administrative systems streamline
operations and improve IT agility.
• Dramatic TCO reduction: Drastically
reduce the need to purchase multiple
discrete components, optimize storage
capacity with guaranteed 101 data
eiciency, and prevent over-provisioning
for performance and capacity with
on-demand expansion.
Simplifying IT
Today’s infrastructure complexity problem is caused by antiquated data architectures not suited
for modern virtualized and cloud-integrated applications. The OmniStack Virtual Controller
powers HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure and the OmniStack Accelerator Card.
HPE SimpliVity’s enabling technology, along with the OmniStack Data Virtualization Platform,
delivers three breakthrough innovations:
1. Guaranteed data eiciency: Only HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure deduplicates,
compresses, and helps optimize all data globally, improving performance, guaranteeing 90%
capacity savings across storage and backup.
2. Built-in resiliency and data protection: Only HPE SimpliVity delivers a resilient
hyperconverged infrastructure platform, including built-in backup and replication that helps
eliminate the use of legacy solutions.
3. Global VM-centric management and mobility: Only HPE SimpliVity delivers policy-based,
VM-centric management to simplify day-to-day operations and enable data mobility,
increasing productivity.
