RE: Simplivity - anyone use them?
@scottalanmiller Yes Purpose build accelerator card. This handles the Deduplication, Compression and Serialization of all data at inception across all tiers for the life of the data. I would love to deep dive as I have a very good presentation (I think) that I can share with you.

@DustinB3403 That is in a single host. Dual 22 core v4 Intel.

@scottalanmiller I will forward your feedback to our Marketing team. This is valuable to us, as we are clearly not messaging our platform correctly.

We can hit 44 physical cores, 1.4tb ram, and 20 tb useable before the dedupe and compression.
Because we can avoid redundant writes we can provide better performance than traditional storage.
Additionally our data virtualization platform is unique and gives us some capabilities that others struggle to provide.
I would love to coordinate a redo webex, no sales just technical with anyone who's interested.
Apologies for the way this webt, but I am passionate about the technology, and I understand the customer side better than most as I was one just a year and a half ago.
I ran SimpliVity as a client before working for them and I would be happy to share perspectives. -
RE: Simplivity - anyone use them?
Guys,
I am an SA for SimpliVity in the Chicago area and I'm sorry to see the unhappiness around the presentation. I was unable to attend, but I would be happy to answer some of these items.
Dell was actually the first platform, we added Cisco and Lenovo.
The nodes run from the mid 20k to 150k,
We have a higher density per node than most. One node is the minimum, 2 provides full HA for both the compute and storage.We actually started with an SMB focus and began moving up channel. Again, very unfortunate that the messaging felt off.
Feel free to email me and I'm happy to jump on a webex to deep dive the tech and clear up anything else.
Cheers,
Rick
