HPE Synergy Fluid Pools

[HPEEPH]

Can someone explain in basic terms how exactly compute fluid pooling works.

Can compute resources be shared across nodes? If I install a ESX on Synergy Node 1 and Node 2, and Node 1 ends up being very CPU hungry, and Node 2 is memory hungry - are the remaining resources available across the 2 nodes as a shared pool?

What’s the benefit if I can just move VMs around to balance out resource utilisation?

Hello 

Compute fluid pooling is managing the resourcing available in the single compute and not combining two compute nodes to share resource when and as a workload increases.

But you can create multiple profile templates so that you can utilize the templates for the same compute as and when required or when there is a workload change but cannot combile resources from two different compute nodes.

Storage and fabric pooling can be performed for better optimization.

Thank you
