Hi @otyheno1 

HPE SimpliVity 380 is based on the HPE Proliant DL380 server, which is a 2U, industry-standard, virtualized, x86 platform containing compute, memory, performance-optimized SSDs protected in hardware RAID configurations, and 10GbE network interfaces.

It is available in 3 different models:
1. HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 (hardware-accelerated)
2. HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 G (software-optimized)
3. HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 H (hybrid disks and software-optimized)

HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 platform is hardware-accelerated i.e. it has a hardware accelerator card.

HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 G platform is software-optimized, it does not have a hardware accelerator card. Optional Graphic Accelerator(s)  (x2) may be added in the case of dual CPU configurations with a secondary riser.

HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 H platform is also software-optimized & does not have a hardware accelerator card. Optional Graphic Accelerator (x1) may be added in the case of dual CPU configurations with a secondary riser.
HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen10 Hybrid can be categorized into 2 use cases:
1. Backup & Archive (LFF)
2. General Purpose Virtualization (SFF)

Hope this helps.
