Sphere 3D Introduces New HVE HyperConverged Open Architecture with Support for Glassware 2.0 Containers and V3 Desktop Cloud ...
August 28 2017 - 8:30AM
Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY), a containerization,
virtualization, and data management solutions provider, is pleased
to announce the introduction of a new HVE branded HyperConverged
Infrastructure (HCI) Open Architecture (“OA”).
HVE’s HCI OA provides a small 2-node
footprint for converged compute and storage, scales to 64 nodes,
and is delivered on HVE appliances with all flash and/or NVMe
configurations. Customers can deploy HCI OA faster, with a
reduced initial financial commitment, a lower Total Cost of
Ownership (TCO), and with greater flexibility to scale compute or
storage separately than traditional HCI.
HCI OA was developed to enable an open
software defined datacenter approach that empowers customers to
introduce new technologies into their data center ecosystem, and
marks a paradigm shift from traditional HCI logic. Traditional HCI
solutions force vendor lock-in for customers, tightly couple
compute and storage, and require scaling of these resources in a
closed and predefined correlation of capacity and capability.
HCI OA can start with just two nodes, and then
expand as needs dictate. The HVE HCI OA architectural advantage
allows customers to deploy HCI technology much faster, provides
scale out options individually for either compute or storage, and
provides high-availability HCI clustering. The HVE solution also
utilizes high-performance advanced technologies, and introduces an
open architecture for software defined storage and overall software
defined data center solutions. HVE HCI OA supports VMWare vSphere
and Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization architectures, Sphere 3D
Glassware 2.0® containers, Desktop Cloud Orchestrator™ (DCO) and
SnapServer's Guardian Operating System™ (GOS); yet it integrates
into traditional storage environments.
Starting from a blank canvas and building from
the ground up based on customer feedback, HVE’s HCI OA design
is made possible by a number of technology advancements in compute,
data transmission, and storage.
The HVE HCI OA hardware platform includes
the HVE “Business In A Box” (BIX) converged servers that can be
configured from 3TB-20TB usable storage per appliance, the
HVE-STACK 2U 4 blade system supporting 3TB-12TB per blade, and HVE
VDI Appliances.
Dave Harmon, VP of Virtualization, stated, “Our
engineering team has been observing the changes in technology and
listening to customers’ needs. As such, we realized the need
for a Hyper Converged makeover of today’s current architectures.
Sphere 3D’s HVE, SnapServer, and Glassware teams of engineers have
come together to position our HCI OA to meet the rapidly
changing market for HCI.”
“Being able to leverage adaptive software
defined solutions with legacy application support through
containers on next generation platforms has taken some significant
engineering expertise. The engineering effort and investment were
well worth it, as we believe that our new HCI OA architecture
really opens up our HCI vision to our customers,” said Peter
Tassiopoulos, President of Sphere 3D. “Industry analysts agree that
HCI architecture is game changing, and we believe our new HCI 2.0
approach puts Sphere 3D on the forefront of this change.”
