A HPE Simplivity Case Study
The iFish Group, a small computer services business, needed to refresh capacity and review its platform after an upgrade exposed limits in its legacy environment. Managing multiple solutions and vendors had become less than ideal, so the company sought a simpler, modern infrastructure to support production, test/dev and QA workloads including Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and an industry-specific application.
The company deployed HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure to consolidate server, storage and data services into a single appliance; key features cited as most valuable were integrated data protection, inline dedupe/compression, VM-centric vCenter management and global federated management. Results included 25–50% improved performance, dramatic capacity efficiency (approximately 200:1–300:1), and realized value within one week of deployment.
