Get VDI-ready with HPE SimpliVity! Remote work is here to stay
The future of work is here – and desktops are virtual. Hyperconverged infrastructure that is fully tested in VDI environments, customer-proven, and simple to manage can propel your business forward. Validated by LoginVSI, HPE SimpliVity is a compact, cost-effective, all-in-one platform, ideal for remote workforces.
Virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) isn’t new, but the surge in worldwide deployments is – and it’s not going to change any time soon. When the pandemic hit in 2020, IT organizations that were barely familiar with VDI suddenly needed to put in place edge infrastructure and connectivity that would keep their businesses running smoothly and without disruption. VDI was an obvious choice, because it replicates the office environment from any location and provides simple and secure remote access to the same apps and data that would have been available onsite.
Fast forward (although for many, it’s been more like a slow crawl) to 2021 and working remotely has become a day-to-day reality, forcing us to reevaluate how we see the future of work. A recent McKinsey survey revealed that businesses around the world, on average, plan to reduce office space by 30 percent. Remote working for now, and perhaps over the long haul, is the new normal across nearly all industries.
But how do you find the time to research and deploy a solution that can take you into the future? The pandemic has forced many businesses to operate with skeleton IT crews and the last thing you need is more complexity and untested solutions.
Validated, high performance hyperconverged infrastructure for VDI
You’re in luck! Running VDI applications on HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has been proven to be efficient and cost-effective – making it a perfect remote solution to take your business into the future. Due to its simple and centralized management, easy scalability in an all-in-one appliance, peak and predictable performance, built-in data protection, small footprint, and speedy ROI, HPE SimpliVity is consistently recognized as one of the strongest infrastructure solutions available for VDI.
Recently, HPE engineering published a reference architecture for HPE SimpliVity with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops7 which shows excellent results. And our engineers aren’t alone in their findings. Login VSI, the de facto standard in benchmark solutions, also validated and tested the solution and their results are so compelling, Login VSI wrote a blog about it.
"This validation confirms that a single, tiny, little, 1U HPE SimpliVity 325 server demonstrates high performance for 200 Knowledge Workers per server. This high-density solution demonstrates some of the lowest response times we’ve seen," states Blair Parkhill, Product Director for Login VSI. "The validation also confirmed linear scaling, at 200 desktops per server, up to 8 systems in 8U providing high performance for 1600 Knowledge Workers. Think about that… if you lined up the laptops side-to-side, that would be the length of almost 5 soccer fields, and this solution fits in 8U or 14 inches of rack space. Very impressive."
Customers share insights on HPE SimpliVity at the edge
