Cloud Distribution offers Hyperconverged bundle
Cloud Distribution now has a Hyperconverged Appliance solution, hyperserV for the SME market. It combines storage, compute, networking and virtualisation within its core and places enterprise technology directly into SME server rooms, and includes fix-onsite engineers. Powered internally by DataCore Software’s Virtual SAN solution, this appliance comes with a small business price tag and aims to reduce server room footprint by up to 90%; directly decreasing support and energy costs.
Bruce Hockin, Director of Storage Solutions, Cloud Distribution commented. “Hyperconvergence shouldn’t be for the exclusive use of the enterprise and channel partners simply don’t want the pain of putting together an ‘out of the box’ solution themselves. By bringing hyperserV direct to the channel, we are empowering our partners to make Hyperconvergence accessible to the SME market and generate new revenue streams. We are now actively recruiting partners to embrace hyperserV, especially those who target education, local government, legal and not for profit organisations.”
Comprising market leading hypervisors, hyperserV is technically validated by DataCore as part of the ‘DataCore Ready’ Program, and it cements its high-availability, high-performance positioning with feature-rich capabilities like automated tiering of data; caching to increase application performance and thin provisioning of existing storage.
Brett Denly, Regional Director, DataCore Software UK commented. "There is an increasing appetite from SMEs for hyperconvergence in the UK, simply because of the ability to dramatically optimise storage environments without the overhead of SAN management."
hyperserV is available in four models with a choice of capacity points and hypervisors. They are shipping now and start with a recommended street price of £31,199 for the 8TB model and includes 3 years 24/7 support and next day onsite hardware engineer as standard.
