Hi,
I have a question, Simplivity could be act as VMware DataStore only? The compute resources will retain over the servers (on our case 3 blades)
We only need to execute a Storage vMotion to Simplivity.
In this scenario, the concept of hyperconvergence is lost?
Please your comments
Regards
Rafael

SolutionIf I understand you correctly you are fine to do what you are asking. You are essentially using "your" server as what we refer to as a "Compute Node". So yes a server not running the Omnistack SW and dowesn't have the accellerator card can act as computer and still utilize the storage from a Simplivity node and getting the benefits of the dedupe and compression.
