HPE SimpliVity is a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution that combines compute, storage, networking, and data protection in a single, scalable, and easy-to-manage appliance.
HPE SimpliVity is optimized for VMware environments, as it integrates with VMware vSphere and vCenter, and supports VMware features such as vMotion, HA, DRS, and SRM.
HPE SimpliVity simplifies the management of the VMWare cluster by providing a single interface to perform common tasks such as provisioning, cloning, backup, and restore of virtual machines.
HPE SimpliVity also enables scalability and recovery capabilities by allowing customers to add nodes as needed, and leverage built-in data efficiency and resilience features such as deduplication, compression, and replication.
HPE Nimble is a storage solution that provides high performance, availability, and data protection, but it does not include compute and networking components, and requires additional management tools for the VMWare cluster.
HPE Alletra is a data infrastructure solution that delivers cloud-native data services, but it is designed for larger and more complex environments, and requires additional components such as HPE Data Services Cloud Console and HPE Cloud Volumes.
HPE MSA is an entry-level storage solution that offers affordable and flexible options, but it does not provide the same level of data efficiency, resilience, and integration as HPE SimpliVity for the VMWare cluster.
