When Will SimpliVity Support vSphere 8?

alg204 — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 06:38:26 GMT

Hi!
I feel like I've seen a similar post like this somewhat recently but can't find. So, apologies if this is the nth time this question has been asked.

When will SimpliVity support vSphere 8? We're about to start an engagement to add nodes and think it's a great opportunity to do vsphere 8. We don't want to do the engagement with 7 and then find out a few weeks later that 8 is supported.

I've asked our contacts in sales and even the deployment project manager. Answers have ranged from spring/summer to not sure / no real answer.

Any insight is appreciated!

Thanks

Hi AndreaAlfa,

As per the current documentation, only vSphere 7.0 is supported by HPE SimpliVity.

Support for vSphere 8 is currently in the process of testing and will be announced by the end of 2023.

There is no official update on the exact date of the same.

Regards,
Sanika

Unfortunately we are aleady in 2024 and still no availability of Simplivity v5

Still no sound about v8 support. It is very difficult to sell Simplivity to the customers, since support for VMware updates are very slow.
