Adopting hyperconvergence and adapting to the new realities in retail
“We were initially running 300 virtual desktops and needed to spin up 700 more to give our employees the flexibility to work from home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Using HPE SimpliVity, we were able to do so in just 12 minutes.” – Murat Zobu, System and Cloud Infrastructure Manager at MIGROS TICARET A.S.
Leverage the simplicity of HCI for new use cases
HPE has fundamentally evolved the conception of what HCI can be in two ways: by moving from a software-defined experience to an AI-driven one — with the machine learning predictive analytics of HPE InfoSight — and by expanding the field of HCI use cases with the introduction of disaggregated HCI (dHCI) for mission-critical workloads.
