Test the Best: HPE’s Hyper Converged Solutions

By Jeff Garell

Have you ever run up against a resource constraint and the only way out was hugely expensive, required extensive design and engineering and then a migration just to be able to expand your resource pool?

Well, you’re not alone. I’ve been a victim of lock in or vendor’s short-sighted design many times in the past 33 years.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s Hyper Converged solutions are engineered to simply “tack on” storage and compute that folds into the infrastructure like its been there all along. I know, it sounds like magic, but it’s not: it’s foresight and thoughtful engineering that makes HPE’s Hyper Converged solutions the best in the industry.

If you aren’t already in a hyperconverged market, you better start looking ahead. According to the well-respected industry analyst Gartner, this market segment will grow nearly 80 percent to reach almost $2 billion this year. This is big-time business, growing at an expected pace to reach nearly $5 billion – almost a quarter of the integrated systems niche – in just three more years.

And that’s why you need to come spend a couple of days here at Convergent Technologies Group. We’re going to give you an inside-out tour of what HPE’s Hyper Converged platforms have to offer during our Technical Summit on Sept. 21-22. We’re also giving you direct access to Joe Vidal, whose unofficial title is the HPE converged evangelist. More formally, he directs the company’s Americas Hybrid IT Channel Architecture Team. Not only will you learn about what’s on the market, you’ll get a glimpse of what’s coming next.

And yes, you have a host of different options to explore, but we aren’t the only ones who give the highest marks to HPE’s Hyper Converged systems – and you’re right to compare and contrast, especially when you’re making that kind of investment. The folks at BizTech magazine call HPE’s platform “a breeze” to deploy, while Gartner routinely rates these solutions in the upper right of its Magic Quadrant.

Actually, we encourage you to explore other options because we know that that will make you only more confident that HPE is the route to go. You’ll see that HPE delivers the optimal performance at the greatest value.

In addition to all of this Hyper Convergey-ness (yes, I’m copyrighting that, see me after the summit for licensing deals), we’ll dive into why Aruba is the leader in wireless and how they made the Super Bowl even more super. Plus, if you haven’t seen it before and even if you have, we’ll be covering storage with the HPE 3PAR and a deep dive into why it was a game changer when it was first introduced and why it still leads the pack.

But don’t just take our word for all this. The Technical Summit is your chance to come see it all for yourself – and take some of this cutting-edge technology out for a spin.
