- basch 10y agoNimble and SimpliVity together really give HP a solid footing against Dell/EMC/VMWare. Now all they need is their own Hypervisor. (for anyone who doesnt know, SimpliVity has hardware acceleration cards that do dedupe/compression/etc and offload it from the cluster processing store.) Youve still got the independent Tintri, Tegile, Infinidat, Kaminario for now. And on the HCI side, Nutanix, Pivot3, Atlantis, Stratoscale, HyperGrid.
- pinewurst 10y ago"Finish off" is what HPE seems to do best these days. They've already started to gut Simplivity. HCI was a massive missed opportunity for them, as they had all the parts from the beginning but their combinations never jelled. Storage basically fell apart, attriting down to just 3PAR (lots of nasty internal politics) and then starving that for resources and field support. I expect Nimble to be digested and fall apart in the same fashion with Nimble executives bailing as soon as their clocks run out in a year at best. There will be rejoicing at Dell EMC today.
