![]() ![]() Ease of Deployment: For the most part, users of both solutions say deployment is complex and recommend using a trained specialist.After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below. It will be interesting to see though if some of the smaller revenue players decide to invest further in their own enterprise HCI solutions or bend the knee to VMware.We performed a comparison between HPE Nimble Storage dHCI and HPE SimpliVity based on our users’ reviews in four categories. Regardless of your HCI flavor of choice or financial model of consumption, this market is clearly primed for growth as more data collection and analysis takes place outside of traditional data centers. There’s also an interesting element with Azure Arc that’s developing as a potential visibility/control plane as well for hybrid infrastructure. Microsoft has changed this now with Azure Stack HCI OS, which may mean they’ll bubble up. But for a long time, Microsoft’s HCI solution was looked at as a server software sale, meaning trackers like this fail to account for the HCI business as a discreet entity. We actually quite like Azure Stack HCI for a number of reasons, the primary amongst them being the feature set per dollar. Lastly, there’s still a giant chunk in the “Others” category that includes things like Azure Stack HCI and Red Hat solutions. That said, with the explosion in edge data and current customer relationships, Cisco still may have something on its hands with HyperFlex, even if the company seems intent on keeping its HCI solutions hidden away. We’ve even been told that HyperFlex freebies are tossed into deals to close a sale. The last major update was in March of 2022 and Cisco hasn’t even mustered a blog about HyperFlex in six months. ![]() Not with their sales, that it’s on the list at all. HPE has a disaggregated HCI solution that has a nice simplicity message for SMBs, but HPE also ends up tossing in the VMware pile as well with sales of vSAN Ready Nodes.Ĭisco’s HyperFlex is the one that continues to surprise. While they still have SimpliVity as their own, the go-forward emphasis appears to be on Alletra (formerly Nimble). HPE has moved hard to GreenLake, which may obfuscate some of their HCI progress because of the way IaaS is sold. While they started off as a value play, Nutanix has done well to continue to develop their own hypervisor and has recently invested in more deeply supporting container and cloud-based workloads. ![]() They’ve gone through a major leadership overhaul that will probably take at least 2023 to shake out whether or not they’ve sorted that out. That said, Nutanix has continued to hang around. VMware vSAN Ready Nodes and the engineered appliance versions from the likes of Dell and Lenovo always had the path of least resistance once vSAN worked out some of the early kinks and go-to-market decisions (anyone remember EVO: RAIL?). VMware was also the only vendor to surpass the billion in sales number, which is roughly an 8% year-over-year gain for the company. IDC has produced their latest version of the Worldwide Converged Systems Tracker for Q3 2022 and has shown VMware to be on top again, nearly doubling the market share of Nutanix, which placed in second.
