SimpliVity Adds Support for Cisco UCS Director, Simplifies IT and Cloud Environments
Today at Cisco (News - Alert) Live! U.S., SimpliVity
announced that its leading hyperconverged infrastructure will support
Cisco UCS Director to optimize customer private and hybrid cloud
environments. Available next quarter, SimpliVity's hyperconverged
solution will support Cisco UCS Director to automate infrastructure
management and orchestrate the provisioning of virtual machines (VMs)
with native data protection and mobility across all global sites.
SimpliVity's hyperconverged infrastructure assimilates all IT below the
hypervisor, including compute, storage, network switching, backup,
replication, cloud gateway, caching, WAN optimization, and more into a
single platform. SimpliVity's Data Virtualization Platform creates a
single shared scale-out resource pool that deduplicates, compresses and
optimizes data at inception across all tiers globally, delivering a
median data efficiency of 40:1. Additionally, this unique data
architecture provides global unified management, VM-centricity, and
mobility - making all automation and orchestration functionalities
faster, more efficient, and higher performing.
"Our hyperconverged infrastructure is a perfect fit for the Cisco UCS
Director," said Jesse St. Laurent, vice president, product strategy,
SimpliVity. "SimpliVity's Data Virtualization Platform provides an
extremely efficient, scalable and high-performance architecture, further
simplifying the Cisco UCS Director's orchestration capabilities for
customers utilizing our hyperconverged infrastructure solution with UCS.
Our support for Cisco UCS Director is consistent with our mission to
simplify IT. Instead of introducing yet another management paradigm, we
work with tools that customers are already using, such as Cisco UCS
Director and VMware vCenter."
Organizations around the Globe Simplify IT with SimpliVity's
Hyperconverged Infrastructure and Cisco UCS
SimpliVity's support for Cisco UCS Director builds upon the success of
SimpliVity OmniStack Integrated Solution for Cisco UCS. Land O'Lakes,
Assured Guaranty, Francis
Drilling Fluids and the Ville d'Issy-Les-Moulineaux in France, are
just a few of the organizations that have chosen SimpliVity's
hyperconverged architecture with Cisco UCS to gain dramatic increases in
performance, data efficiency, ease of use, as well as reduce their total
cost of ownership.

"SimpliVity's hyperconverged solution with Cisco UCS simplifies
infrastructure and services below the hypervisor, as well as provides
important data center advantages, like managing all virtual machines
from a single interface, natively protecting data, and driving
significant data efficiency," said Jason Nord, System Administrator, Land
O'Lakes. "Not only does SimpliVity with Cisco UCS provide the
unique benefits of hyperconvergence, it also simplifies remote site
infrastructure, adding enterprise-grade backup and disaster recovery
for mission-critical applications across multiple sites."
-
"We are thrilled with the cost benefits of the combined
SimpliVity-Cisco hyperconverged infrastructure solution. We achieved
outstanding TCO benefits, consolidated data center rack space,
increased our Splunk (News - Alert) Enterprise performance by 50%, and deplyed
built-in backup and disaster recovery," said Jason Elizaitis, IT
Operations, Assured Guaranty, Ltd. "The simplification that
comes from hyperconvergence helped us eliminate integration issues and
troubleshooting time, and optimized our IT team's productivity to
focus on adding business value, rather than spending time maintaining
legacy systems."
-
"As an early adopter of SimpliVity's hyperconverged infrastructure,
we've seen significant benefits of the solution. SimpliVity reduced
our data center footprint from 20U to 4U, increased our application
delivery performance by 75%, and lowered operational costs in a major
way," said Steve Schaaf, CTO, Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd.
"When SimpliVity announced the availability of its solution with
Cisco, we jumped at the opportunity - now we're running all of our
core applications on the SimpliVity-Cisco platform."
-
"The simplicity, ease of use, and cost savings delivered by the
SimpliVity hyperconverged solution with Cisco UCS is far superior to
other market solutions we evaluated," said Jean-Paul Poggioli, IT
Manager, Ville d'Issy-Les-Moulineaux. "We can now manage all 40
of our business-critical applications, such as Microsoft (News - Alert) SQL Server,
Exchange and SharePoint, and Cisco Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions,
across multiple data centers from a single screen, with the
performance and reliability we need. It's a winning combination."
SimpliVity's solutions for the UCS Director and UCS are certified as
Cisco Compatible. SimpliVity is also a Cisco Preferred Solution Partner
and TSANet partner, so customers leveraging SimpliVity's solutions for
Cisco have a one-call support experience.
