Orderable this quarter, the OmniStack Solution with Cisco UCS for Remote Sites, addresses these pain points by taking the “remote” out of ROBO. SimpliVity’s hyperconverged infrastructure combines all core data center functions, including the hypervisor, compute, storage, networking switching, data protection, and more, onto Cisco UCS C240 rack-mount servers. The solution massively simplifies the IT infrastructure, allowing the enterprise to centrally manage ROBO sites from a single interface, Cisco UCS Manager, and provide faster, more reliable data protection, increased application performance, improved WAN optimization, and higher staff productivity.
Key Benefits:
· 3x Lower Total Cost of Ownership by consolidating all IT functions below the hypervisor into a single, scalable pool of shared x86 resources
· Faster, More Reliable, Built-In Data Protection with central IT management eliminates the need for additional backup and recovery technology at ROBO locations, and allows ROBO sites to operate with the same SLAs, RTOs, and RPOs as the enterprise’s global offices
· Improved Staff Productivity by managing all resources (policies, processes, operations, backups, etc.), from the same centralized interface, so IT staff no longer needs to be on-site to manage ROBO resources
· Increased Application Performance by deduplicating, compressing and optimizing all data, once, in line, at inception
· Improved WAN Utilization with built in data deduplication, compression and optimization by reducing the network traffic associated with data protection functions, removing the need for special-purpose WAN appliances
