SimpliVity has announced new solutions and enhancements to its data center technologies. The company unveiled a high-powered, all-flash hyperconverged offering, a one-click disaster recovery solution, an application-aware backup capability, and increased scalability for VDI that broadens the company’s portfolio for providing top-tier performance and agility for the enterprise, while still being accessible for the midmarket.
Powered by SimpliVity’s Data Virtualization Platform, the new all-flash solution provides peak and predictable performance for the most data-intensive applications, such as online transaction processing and big data analytics.
The solution accelerates application speeds and permits higher amounts of concurrent workloads—increasing application performance by up to 5X and reducing latency by up to 80%. It also provides the highest level of resiliency to media failure with fewer nodes than any other hyperconverged vendor.

According to the Ponemon Institute, downtime can cost businesses an average of $9,000 per minute, making disaster recovery essential for all organizations. SimpliVity RapidDR speeds up and simplifies the recovery of workloads in the event of a disaster by automating the process for all VMs.
The solution automates disaster recovery with a single click, minimizing service disruptions and reducing recovery times by 70 percent or more when compared to manual procedures. It also eliminates the expense and complexity of special-purpose disaster recovery tools and stand-alone replication products.
Another capability is it streamlines the disaster recovery planning and configuration process with an intuitive, VM-centric, 5-step GUI.
With 83 percent of customers running Microsoft SQL Server on SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure, SimpliVity has expanded its capabilities for application-aware backups for Microsoft SQL Server, allowing customers to tightly integrate at the application level for Microsoft SQL Server databases and automate backup and recovery activities to improve the operational efficiency of IT.
The new capabilities also improve recovery point objectives and automate the recovery process, thereby shortening the recovery time for top tier applications, says the company.
