Shift to SW defined Removes the limitations of dedicated hardware

Customers are making the shift to software-defined infrastructure to simplify their IT and gain greater flexibility. Cost-reduction and efficiency benefits immediately justify the investment.

By shifting to a software-defined infrastructure (SDI) – which combines software-defined compute (SDC), software-defined networking (SDN) and software-designed storage (SDS) – your customers can free their infrastructure from the limitations of dedicated hardware.

THIS REMOVES THE FRUSTRATION OF UNDER-UTILISED RESOURCES WHEN ANOTHER APPLICATION DESPERATELY NEEDS THAT POWER

Sell the latest HPE Gen 10 SimpliVity based solution, which offers server, storage, and storage networking services – with built-in value including backup and disaster recovery.

Route 2: Migrate DL380 installed base

Show customers that they can improve their internal SLA for virtualization, consolidate their data centre space, and be ready for the future.

Sell HPE Gen 10 SimpliVity by positioning it as having a superior TCO when compared to DL380 – because it reduces VMware licensing costs and integrated backup.
