Pinnacle, one of Southern Africa’s largest ICT distributors, is pleased to announce that the company is an exclusive distributor of Hewlett Packard Enterprise ProLiant DX.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Nutanix announced earlier this year that they have joined forces to deliver an integrated hybrid cloud as a service to the market. This partnership has now been taken one step further by the launch of the HPE ProLiant DX.
Built by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and gaining Nutanix’s stamp of approval, the HPE ProLiant DX product set supports all common data centre use cases, providing customers with the simplicity and agility of public cloud services, and the control and security required in private cloud environments — as stated by Nutanix.
Nutanix delivers a comprehensive enterprise cloud platform that bridges the gap between the traditional infrastructures and those of public cloud services. The HPE ProLiant DX solution delivers turnkey infrastructure that integrates servers, storage and virtualisation along with end-to-end systems management and operations management capabilities. This allows organisations to deploy infrastructure in a few minutes and shift the focus to applications that power the business.
The solution, exclusively offered by Pinnacle to the South African market, offers time-saving and productivity-enhancing benefits:
- Start small and scale your infrastructure without limits by adding ProLiant DX appliances one at a time;
- Radically simplify your infrastructure management with software upgrades, infrastructure scaling and troubleshooting, made easy with just one click. This allows IT staff to focus on business applications rather than the infrastructure;
- Eliminate expensive and complex storage-area networks by simplifying your data centre with HPE ProLiant DX storage resources;
- Build a complete infrastructure stack with the HPE ProLiant DX appliances and Nutanix enterprise cloud software;
- Build a private cloud easily with Nutanix software and HPE ProLiant DX with no change to your HPE tooling or operations; and
- Reduce the cost of virtualisation with the Nutanix native AHV hypervisor and integrated virtualisation management
“With the Nutanix software being distributed across multiple HPE servers, any unnecessary downtime is mitigated should there be an unforeseen hardware failure. Your support and infrastructure requirements are also simplified as your server engineer would only need to be trained to support the hypervisor that is running on the ProLiant servers, be it VMware or Acropolis and the Prism element of Nutanix.” — Jeremy Lichtenstein, Pinnacle HPE sales engineer
