How Virtual Machine data is stored and managed within a HPE SimpliVity Cluster – Part 6 – Calculating backup capacity
So far in this series, we have discussed how the HPE SimpliVity platform intelligently places vm’s and their associated data containers, and how these data containers are automatically provisioned and distributed across a cluster of nodes. I have talked about data containers with regards to virtual machines, as in, data…

How Virtual Machine data is stored and managed within a HPE SimpliVity Cluster – Part 3 – Provisioning Options
In my previous blog posts my aim was to paint a picture of how data, that makes up the contents of a virtual machine is stored within a HPE SimpliVity Cluster. I introduced the concept of both primary and secondary data containers, their creation process, placement, and how we report on…

How Virtual Machine data is stored and managed within a HPE SimpliVity Cluster – Part 1 – Data creation and storage
Speaking with a customer recently I was asked how data, that makes up the contents of a virtual machine is stored within a HPE SimpliVity cluster and how does this data affect overall available capacity within that cluster.https://damianerangey.com/hpe-simplivity/ This is essentially a two part question, the first part is relatively…
