Infrastructure Complexity
requiring multi-domain experience
Constant fire fighting
with uncontrolled VM sprawl
VM admins are struggling to keep up with the demands of the digital business. They are constantly dealing with the complexity of infrastructure that slows down time-to-market, fighting fires that ties up their time, and supporting new app demands with more cost pressures.

3. But unpredictable workloads need a converged architecture
Flexibility to independently scale
Ideal for workload consolidation
Management silos and complexity
HCI brings with it an experience that radically simplifies life for the VM admin for workloads with predictable growth.
Through a software-defined, scale-out file system, physical infrastructure is abstracted, everything is VM-centric, policies are automated and you have a single pool of resources that you can manage directly out of vCenter.
Scaling is predictable as you simply add a node to the cluster and grow performance and capacity together.
This architecture maximizes enterprise agility for workloads with predictable growth.

4. But unpredictable workloads need a converged architecture
Flexibility to independently scale
Ideal for workload consolidation
Management silos and complexity
Compute
But when it comes to unpredictable workloads, where future growth and new applications may require more compute or more storage, converged platforms give enterprises the flexibility to independently scale as needed.
This makes it an ideal architecture for workload consolidation on the same platform. Then as you add more workloads, you either add more compute or add more storage, giving you a high level of resource efficiency at scale.
But converged architectures are still highly complex despite incremental innovations over the years. Vendors have tried to mask the complexity with GUI wrappers, but converged still require dedicated admins, siloed management, manuals to memorize, and constant tuning.
So up to now, this architecture meant you have to sacrifice agility for flexibility

Hyperconverged control with infrastructure out of sight and out of mind
Simple to Deploy
15 min rack-to-apps with server and storage automation
Simple to Manage VM-centric data services and resource management
Now when it comes to active management, Nimble dHCI is a simple as a HCI. As we have extended hyperconverged control to this integrated system, we’ve made it painstakingly simple to deploy, manage, scale, and support.
Simple to Setup
Through the dHCI setup software and vCenter plugin, dHCI automates server and storage deployment, configuration, provisioning and cluster setup for the VM admin, eliminating 100s of manual steps vs converged systems.  A customer can self-install the entire system at scale from rack-to-apps, ready to add data, in minutes with less than 5 clicks and requiring no external tools or software.
Simple to Manage
Then, in the vCenter console, you have VM-centric data services and resource management that doesn’t require any separate appliances or element managers. 
Simple to Scale:
New storage and servers get added to the cluster for scale-out, non-disruptively and transparently to applications.  
Simple to Support:
With HPE InfoSight, you have full-stack predictive analytics and support automation working for you that predicts and prevents issues – and autoroutes any complex issue directly to L3 Nimble Storage support as a single throat to choke.

8. HPE Nimble Storage dHCI intelligently simple
Simple for anyone to manage full-stack infrastructure
Software-Defined
Compute and storage abstracted and managed through vCenter
Policy-Based Automation
VM-centric snapshots, clones, and recovery and data protection
Auto-Discovery
New compute and storage resources easily add to the cluster
Integrated Planning
Predictive full-stack wellness and resource optimization
We’ve made this platform simple for anyone to manage full-stack infrastructure, giving customers enterprise capabilities with any of the complexity.
Diving a little deeper….this experience is all through innovative software layer we built that automates stack management, connected in with vCenter.
First, all resources are software-defined. Customer don’t have to spend any time in the silo element managers as the resources are abstracted from the physical hardware and managed through vCenter. Makes it really easy for a VM admin to manage.
Next, all resources are auto-discovered which makes it easy to build out the cluster.
Customers can setup their datastore with vVols or VMFS, both with robust plug-ins through Nimble Storage. vVols eliminates LUN provisioning all together so it manages just like HCI.
Setting policies and data services is super easy per VM – without the need for separate appliances – to configure replication, backup, snapshots, etc natively, without requiring any separate appliances. 
And for upgrades, directly in vCenter the VM admin can add new server or storage resoruces, and again just rack it-plug in the cable-and the system auto-discovers and expands the cluster.  And of course native to Nimble, capacity is added and auto-balances the pool, abstracting drive management

9. Global Intelligence Powered by HPE InfoSight
At the heart of Nimble dHCI is the global intelligence of HPE InfoSight.
Now with 1) 10 years in the making, 2) over 1250 trillion data points analyzed across our installed base, 3) over 1.5 million hours saved from lost productivity…
HPE InfoSight is the most advanced AI for infrastructure
Every second, we collect and analyze millions of sensors from every system in our installed base, across the Nimble dHCI stack to the VM layer that drives our predictive analytics and recommendations full-stack from storage to VMs…
Everything from predicting/preventing issues, to self-mproving performance, to self-optimizing resources (repurpose these VMs to free up resources)
– and it’s what uniquely enables this platform to run itself

Root cause performance issues
Now everyone knows that VM sprawl makes it challenging to stay in control. It’s a necessary evil as sprawl means your business is growing. But managing performance is a reactive, labor intensive chore and always filled with difficulty identifying the source and root cause to bottlenecks. It requires pulling logs and manually correlating a dozen screens across storage/network/host just to find out what’s going on in your environment.
But now with Nimble dHCI, enterprises can say goodbye to the firefighting and long nights and weekends.
Instead of searching for the need in the haystack, we automatically collect data across stack in your environment with full-stack correlations that gives customers a single source of truth that customers..
Find the root cause of latency across host, storage or SAN
Identify ‘noisy neighbors’ determining if they are using resources intended for other VMs
Get visibility into host CPU and memory metrics to check for and plug memory leaks
Get visibility into inactive VMs to repurpose and reclaim underutilized hosts
Find top performing VMs “top 10” by IOPS and latency
Recommendations that optimize performance available resources
Pinpoint ”noisy neighbor” VMs
Repurpose underutilized hosts

Data-centric visibility for every VM
Single click performance view across all VMs
Explicit root cause diagnostics for underperforming VMs
Context-aware recommendations optimize performance
This is the datastore treemap. As show in the pink boxes, in a single click and single view, every customer can see what’s going on across their entire VM farm. One view shows every VM and relative IOPS and latency, which then lets customers quickly see if there any any VMs that need to be addressed, customer can then drill into a specific VM and understand understand root cause with recommendations to alleviate the bottleneck. The automated recommendations are context- aware, which means it understand all of the applications and sensitivities to recommend changes that are prioritized based on least invasiveness – ie. rebalance over buy new hardware.
For example…this one screen helped Lubrizol, a leading O&G manufacturer save $1.2MM from not having to buy new hardware as it identified 3 rogue VDI instances that drove up resource utilization issues.

Flexible Scaling
Cloud Storage 1
No overprovisioning
And because this architecture disaggregates compute and storage, this drives up higher efficiency at the cluster scales on-premise and out to the public cloud.
You can independently scale servers and storage flexibly to support applications that either need for performance with more capacity like in transactional databases with increased load or in data warehouses where you need more capacity but you’re OK with compute.
A beauty being of course that InfoSight tells you when and how much resources you need, or how you can repurpose resources, so you’re always optimized without any guesswork on your part. So it’s both simple and flexible.
In turn, this architecture means that there’s no overprovisioning (no wasted resources), you add only what you need, and upgrades are transparent and non-disruptive to your apps. 2
