SimpliVity has a reputation as a leader in the hyperconverged market, and we’re thrilled to bring to market this radically simplified approach to the data center.”

“Arrow has tremendous reach and market penetration as an international distributor, and we are excited to expand our footprint in Pan-EMEA with their support,” said Mitch Breen, senior vice president of global sales, SimpliVity. “Together, we believe we can deliver world-class offerings that address the performance and capacity challenges in today’s virtualized data centers, ensuring performance, capacity, mobility, manageability and protection of data without driving up CAPEX and OPEX.”

Powering modern IT

SimpliVity provides the best of both worlds for today’s virtualized data centers: the scale, agility, efficiency and economics of cloud infrastructure with the performance, protection and manageability of enterprise IT. OmniCube consolidates up to a dozen infrastructure functions into a single unified stack. Its data architecture delivered on commodity x86 building blocks helps organizations realize a 3x TCO savings. Deploying a network of two or more OmniCubes creates a global federation that facilitates efficient data movement, resource sharing and scalability.

The OmniStack solutions incorporate 3 unique core innovations:

• Virtual Resource Assimilator: A single software stack that assimilates the functionality of multiple traditional IT infrastructure products into a single shared x86 resource pool
• Data Virtualisation Engine: A novel data architecture where all data is compressed, deduplicated and optimised at inception, in line with no impact to application performance.
• Global Federated Architecture: An intelligent network of collaborative systems that provide massive scale-out as well as a VM-centric single point of management
