HPE Synergy will help enterprises tackle new services and markets while reducing overprovisioning and lower costs.
Applications and markets are evolving and if enterprises want to compete they need to invest in a new infrastructure that allows them to adapt without driving costs through the roof. As we stated early, composable infrastructure is built on fluid pools of compute, storage and fast flexible fabric, disaggregated so they can be quickly composed, decomposed back into the pool and then re-composed in a software template to fit the specific needs of an application or workload that will run on it. HPE Synergy is a platform that physically brings composable infrastructure to the market.
HPE Synergy brings together compute, storage, and networking fabric through a single HPE OneView interface while composing physical and virtual resources. This gives organizations tremendous flexibility to run any application. HPE states that users can see a reduction in overprovisioning as high as 60%, which in turn will save up to 21% in upfront CapEx and 30% in ongoing CapEx.
Along with the savings that come from lowering overprovisioning, HPE Synergy can help businesses setup and deliver applications "at cloud speed." Traditional infrastructure can takes weeks to stand-up a new mobile applications or service. HPE Synergy provides software defined templates and bootable images and pulls from a fluid pool of infrastructure. Using Synergy, IT can provision the compute, storage, and networking need for an application in minutes while enabling consistent updates. Companies will also see great productivity and control benefits through the unified API saving weeks of time-consuming scripting.
HPE will be offering several services to aid in adoption of Synergy with benefits such as 24/7 customer support, pay-as-you-grow capacity, and HPE financial services.
Availability
HPE Synergy is expected to be available in the second calendar quarter of 2016.
