Key Features

Everything you need in one device

Intel Xeon 4th Gen (Sapphire Rapids)

Dual-socket Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Generation processors with up to 60 cores per socket. DDR5 memory at 5600 MT/s provides a 50%+ bandwidth increase over DDR4, supporting high-density VM workloads at lower latency.

💾

All-Flash NVMe/SSD Storage

Configure from 6 to 16 SSDs per node (1.92TB or 3.84TB each) up to 61TB raw. PCIe 5.0 connectivity doubles I/O bandwidth versus Gen4. All-flash delivers consistent sub-millisecond latency at any load with no HDD spinning-disk bottleneck.

🔄

OmniStack Inline Deduplication

HPE OmniStack performs inline deduplication and compression across all data — backups, VMs, and snapshots — delivering up to 90% capacity savings (10:1 ratio). Unlike post-process dedupe, inline processing means deduplication savings are immediate with no performance penalty.

🛡️

Integrated Backup & Fast Recovery

Native backup is built into every SimpliVity node. Backup any VM in 1-click from vCenter or HPE InfoSight. Restore a VM — including full OS, applications, and data — in under 60 seconds regardless of VM size.

📊

HPE InfoSight & AI Analytics

HPE InfoSight applies machine learning across millions of data points from HPE infrastructure globally to predict and prevent problems before they affect availability. Cross-stack correlation identifies root cause across compute, storage, and network tiers.

☁️

HPE GreenLake Integration

Deploy SimpliVity 380 Gen11 as part of HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud — consuming capacity on an as-a-service model with cloud-like scalability and billing. Integrates with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials as a VMware cost reduction alternative.

🌐

200GbE High-Performance Networking

200GbE NIC adapter support enables high-throughput inter-node communication for stretched cluster configurations, disaster recovery replication, and large-scale VM migration with minimal impact on production workloads.

🔧

Single-Vendor Simplicity

Compute, storage, networking, backup, and deduplication are delivered by a single HPE platform — one vendor, one support call, one contract. OEM hardware and software are jointly developed, validated, and supported end-to-end.

About the SimpliVity 380 Gen11

The HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen11 represents the latest generation of HPE's enterprise hyperconverged infrastructure platform, built on the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11 — one of the world's best-selling 2U rack servers. Released in 2023, the Gen11 refreshes SimpliVity with Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Generation processors (Sapphire Rapids), DDR5 memory at 5600 MT/s, PCIe 5.0 connectivity, and support for 200GbE networking.

The defining capability of SimpliVity is its OmniStack software, which performs inline global deduplication and compression across all data in the cluster — including primary VM data, snapshots, and backup copies. This delivers verified 90% storage capacity savings (10:1 ratio) across combined storage and backup, making SimpliVity economical at scale. Crucially, this is inline processing: data is deduplicated before it is written to disk, meaning there is no performance penalty and savings are immediate from the first backup.

Integrated backup is a first-class feature of every SimpliVity node. Any VM can be backed up in a single click from VMware vCenter, with sub-60-second recovery regardless of VM size. Backup jobs have near-zero impact on production I/O performance — a fundamental advantage over separate backup appliances that must read all production data during backup windows. Backup copies can be automatically replicated to a secondary SimpliVity cluster for DR without additional backup software licences.

The Gen11 adds support for HPE SimpliVity Software 6.0, which introduces the option to deploy with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials as a KVM-based VMware cost reduction alternative — managed from a single console alongside existing VMware ESXi workloads. This gives organisations a migration path away from VMware licence cost increases, without forcing a single cut-over event.

Use Cases

Ideal for a wide range of deployments

🏢

Enterprise Private Cloud

Consolidate compute, storage, and backup into SimpliVity nodes for a high-density private cloud. Uniform nodes simplify capacity planning — add nodes to scale both compute and storage simultaneously.

🔄

VDI & Virtual Desktop

SimpliVity's inline deduplication delivers exceptional storage savings for VDI environments where desktop images share large amounts of common OS and application data. Fast VM cloning accelerates provisioning of desktop pools.

🌐

Disaster Recovery & Stretch

SimpliVity's built-in replication replicates backup copies to a secondary cluster at zero additional software cost. Stretched clusters across two sites with synchronous replication provide zero RPO / near-zero RTO.

🔃

VMware Cost Reduction

SimpliVity Software 6.0 supports HPE Morpheus VM Essentials as a KVM-based alternative hypervisor, allowing gradual VMware workload migration to reduce vSphere licence costs without a forced re-platform.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What processors does the SimpliVity 380 Gen11 use?

The HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen11 uses Intel Xeon Scalable 4th Generation processors (Sapphire Rapids) in a dual-socket configuration, supporting up to 60 cores per socket. Memory is DDR5 at 5600 MT/s, with a maximum capacity of 8TB across the two sockets.

Q. How does HPE OmniStack deduplication work?

OmniStack performs inline global deduplication before data is written to disk. This means all data — VM primary storage, snapshots, and backups — is analysed for duplicate blocks in real time. Duplicate blocks are replaced with lightweight references rather than stored again. This is different from post-process deduplication, which stores all data first and deduplicates in background jobs, with no storage savings until the job runs. OmniStack's inline approach means storage savings begin immediately and there is no storage headroom needed for pre-dedupe staging.

Q. Can SimpliVity 380 Gen11 run without VMware?

Yes. HPE SimpliVity Software 6.0 introduces support for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, a KVM-based hypervisor platform. This allows organisations to run SimpliVity on KVM rather than vSphere, reducing VMware licence costs significantly. The two hypervisors can be managed from the same HPE console, enabling a phased migration approach.

Q. What is the minimum cluster size for SimpliVity 380 Gen11?

A SimpliVity cluster requires a minimum of 3 nodes for full OmniStack functionality including data resilience and the Arbiter tie-breaker. Two-node configurations are supported for remote office / branch office (ROBO) use cases where an SVT Arbiter software component provides cluster quorum via a third-party host on the same network.
