Buy Simplivity now? Really?
Working at an HCI competitor this is kind of funny to watch.
Buy Simplivity now? Really?
Now that Simplivity was admittedly struggling out there, running out of money, sales, or momentum... is when HP decides to buy them.
Thank god they didn't go deep in their pockets to buy something better. Simplivity inside HP may breath a little longer... but not much more.
These PCI accelerator thing... with Flash evolving the way it is on SSD/NVMe ... is a completely flawed architectural option. Soon HCI vendors will support NVMe besides All Flash (SSD based) so HPE's lack of vision in buying this... I mean it feels like Autonomy all over again - but at least much cheaper!
