Compute the Possible with HPE and VMware
Steven Fleischman
Principal Channel Excellence Specialist, Industrial Automation - Honeywell
It makes total sense. Compute platforms that have demonstrated top performance on their own AND that have been tested and proven by both HPE and VMware are going to deliver the best results for your environment and workloads.
Want proof? Just take a look at the blogs available now, discussing some of the strengths of the HPE compute resources that are essential to a complete range of joint HPE – VMware solutions. I have provided a summary of each blog below as well as a link to the complete blog. You will also be able to get detailed information in the HPE areas at the VMworld 2020 virtual event. You can register here for the event today.
HPE and VMware drastically simplify vSAN Ready Node implementation - HPE has introduced new, factory-integrated HPE vSAN Ready Node configurations on the HPE ProLiant DL300-series servers, expanding the portfolio to cover all seven vSAN profiles. HPE offers the certified, pre-configured, and easy-to order HPE vSAN Ready Node to provide the fastest path to optimized workloads—delivered on platforms that provide broad scalability and flexibility for each unique environment. To accelerate your journey to hybrid cloud, these software-defined building blocks, certified under their respective VMware vSAN profile specifications, are built on the HPE ProLiant platform.HPE vSAN Ready Node configurations are optimized to provide ideal performance on these four workloads:
- Virtualization
- Data management and processing
- Accelerated infrastructure
- Data warehousing

VCF with automated code-based deployment on HPE Synergy with HPE Primera, 3PAR, or Nimble - HPE Reference Architecture for VMware Cloud Foundation on HPE Synergy provides a solution around infrastructure provisioning, manageability, scalability, security, and high availability. It encompasses Day 0, Day 1, and Day 2 requirements. HPE Synergy composable infrastructure enables optimized infrastructure deployment and simplifies manageability using HPE OneView. VMware SDDC manager makes seamless manageability possible when used with HPE Synergy and HPE OneView. In addition, you can leverage HPE Primera, HPE 3PAR StoreServ, or HPE Nimble Storage as the principal and ancillary storage platform for their business-driven goals. You enjoy:
- The ability to efficiently scale storage and compute independently, and to deploy SDDC environments.
- The agility to expand and contract physical and virtual infrastructure on-demand to meet changing business requirements with HPE OneView connector (developed and maintained by HPE and powered by DMTF Redfish APIs).
- The automation of complex IT tasks in an extensible and repeatable manner.

HPE SimpliVity 325 doubles the number of virtual desktops while cutting costs in half - The HPE SimpliVity 325 takes full advantage of the latest AMD EPYC high-core count processors to deliver twice the desktop density vs. alternate offerings. An ideal choice for distributed enterprises looking for an intelligent edge solution, the new HCI model is particularly well suited to virtual desktop use cases, providing hyper-efficiency in a proven hyperconverged solution to knowledge workers at remote sites or in space-constrained locations.
Whether it’s deployed in datacenters or at the edge, and primarily leveraged for VDI, Tier 1 app support, or data protection, this 1 rack-unit model is a compact powerhouse. A partial list of benefits includes:
- Easily scalable
- Powerful capabilities in a compact form factor
- Lower dollar per desktop cost
- Seamless integration into existing IT environment
You can find the complete blog here.
What these blogs all add up to is the ability for you to get proven compute performance for VMware from all HPE compute platforms.: HPE ProLiant, HPE Synergy, and HPE SimpliVity.
Look for a similar blog that summarizes key blogs on HPE storage solutions for VMware coming soon. And don’t forget to register here for VMworld 2020 at your earliest convenience. It’s being held from September 29 – October 1 – only two short weeks away.
