VMware Cloud Foundation with HPE Synergy: Tech Preview

VMworld 2017 Content: Not fo

HPE Synergy is now certified for VMware vSANThe first composable Infrastructure certified for vSAN
HPE Synergy—A perfect choice for vSAN
A core value prop of vSAN is that it aggregates all local storage disks—both SSD and HDD—
available on the hosts (compute modules) into a single data store shared by all compute modules.
With traditional rack servers, compute and storage do not generally scale independently, but with
HPE Synergy, you can scale storage and compute separately.
This makes it a perfect fit for vSAN solutions, allowing for storage capacity growth without
requiring additional compute resources to host them.
Key Benefits:
Disaggregated storage and compute
HPE Synergy with VMware vSAN provides the flexibility of thinly
provisioning software-defined storage volumes, independent of compute
resources.
Single infrastructure for any workload
HPE Synergy helps enterprises run vSAN in a single infrastructure,
addressing the needs of both traditional and emerging business applications.
High-Speed interconnect between frames
HPE Synergy provides a flat east-west Ethernet topology. This allows iSCSI
storage to be shared on a low-latency server-to-server connection,
including between HPE Synergy frames.
vSAN configuration details for our supported Ready Nodes visit the VMware vSAN Compatibility Guide for HPE
See why HPE Synergy is a winning vSAN solution in the VMware blog

Key Value Proposition
Leverage fluid resource pools− Synergy creates pools of resources – Compute, Network(Virtual Connect) and
Storage in one platform
Simplify Management − Synergy management is resourced appropriately for the size of the deployment.− Reduces the complexity of upgrades.
Automate Deployment − VCF is installed quickly and correctly resulting in better time to
production and less errors
Consolidate traditional and private cloud workloads onto a single Composable infrastructure

Use Case: Workload Mobility
– HPE Synergy Composability + VCF Workload domains enable end to end workload mobility use cases
– Examples of Workload Mobility:
– Add workload domains to support new applications faster
– Manage existing resources more efficiently – storage and compute resources can be reassigned dynamically
– Share resources without performance impact to support different applications with varying infrastructure needs
– Developer environment can be shared with remote call center environment at varying shift times
– Demo:
– Existing VI domain in VCF repurposed to a VDI domain
