As the pace of innovation increases and IT requirements continue to evolve, federal agencies are turning to hyperconverged infrastructure to help streamline IT operations. 

Hyperconverged infrastructure is the merging of computing, storage and networking in a software-driven appliance to reduce data center complexity and increase scalability. Federal agencies can turn to HPE SimpliVity, available now through CAS Severn on the NITAAC CIO-CS contract, to help streamline IT operations with a fast, simple and efficient hyper-converged platform.

HPE SimpliVity is an enterprise-grade hyperconverged platform that speeds application performance, improves efficiency and restores virtual machines (VMs) within seconds. HPE SimpliVity can help federal agencies with data center consolidation, data protection, server management and more.

“One of the benefits of HPE SimpliVity is data reduction,” said Joe King, CAS Severn CTO and VP of Presales and Technology Services. “Agencies can see up to 90 percent in data savings using compression, deduplication and other optimization. Agencies are able to simplify their infrastructure, consolidate their staffs, consolidate their data center space, and, in the end, do more with less with HPE SimpliVity.”

According to Forrester, a typical HPE SimpliVity customer can see a 69 percent reduction in cost of ownership by infrastructure consolidation, equipment and operating expenses reduction, and simplifying system administration. The cost savings can enable a projected 183 percent return in investment with a short 7.2-month payback.
