Composable Infrastructure and Synergy.

back

Evolution in the data centre.

Traditional data centre

Consolidated systems
Dedicated high-availability systems
Selected use of virtualisation
Nonhomogeneous management

Virtualised data centre

Abstraction of IT systems using virtualisation
Optimised use of hardware resources
Increased availability through fault-tolerant functionality
Optimisation of energy consumption
Faster server provisioning from templates
Simplified administration and management
Tool-Less Expandability

Automated data centre

Automated virtual infrastructures and IT business processes
Structured software solutions and controlled data centres (software defined anything)
Clustering of IT processes for provisioning in one IT business process (e. g. new MA)
Automated flexible use of hybrid provisioning models (secured private and public) according to growing capacity requirements
Use of administrative and user self-service portals
Billing models based on usage

The logical response to IT infrastructure demands.

According to 3 basic principles.

Composable infrastructure is the vision of HPE for a new class in infrastructure that serves both traditional IT as well as the new style of business. It is based on three basic principles:

Dynamic resource pools:

Dynamic pools composed of unconnected physical and virtual compute, storage and fabric resources that are immediately ready directly after being booted to carry out any workload and the requirements of specific applications and services.

Software-defined information:

Template-based workload pools and streamlined processes that effortlessly implement changes programmatically.

Unified API:

Open API that enables the implementation of ‘infrastructure-as-code’ to abstract complex actions into single lines of code.

4 benefits.

Avoids overprovisioning

Precise composing and recomposing of resources
Reduces CAPEX
Pay-as-you-go billing based on HPE flexible capacity services

Cloud speed

Hardware provisioning of resources in cloud speed
Self discovery and auto-integration of all resources

Fast development & agile operation

Extremely fast development of apps through a programmable infrastructure
Provisioning of a usable infrastructure within minutes

Fast updates & maintenance

Template-based infrastructure
Seamless firmware and driver updates
Adapted to maintenance windows
