Innovative, all-in-one virtualisation solutions that integrate compute and software-defined storage into a single, easy-to-manage, software-defined platform.
A way forward for enterprise IT
IT is under tremendous pressure to move faster and be more agile. Complex manual processes and non-integrated infrastructure can’t provide the power, simplicity, and speed necessary to meet the demands of the enterprise. Apps are growing 5x faster than IT can deliver, managing the IT stack consumes 80% of time and budgets, and cloud expenses are increasing rapidly. Hyperconverged infrastructure systems empower IT to overcome these challenges, so you can reduce the cost and complexity of your IT environment and deliver the technology your organisation needs.
Take control with hyperconverged infrastructure
HPE Hyper Converged solutions provide a simple, efficient, software-defined platform that combines everything below the hypervisor, delivering the agility and economics of cloud with the enterprise capabilities of on-prem infrastructure.

Hyperconvergence solves common business problems
The built-in capabilities in hyperconverged infrastructure technology help organisations address a range of critical challenges for managing infrastructure.
Data centre consolidation
Minimise your data centre footprint for lower upfront costs, greater operational efficiency, and improved performance.
Data protection and disaster recovery
Protect your data in a fraction of the time required by legacy solutions with end-to-end data protection and automated disaster recovery.
VDI scalability
Scale up VDI with unmatched performance. Get more virtual desktops on less hardware and globally backup, restore, or clone a VM in three clicks or less.
Unification of remote and branch offices
Remove distance as a limitation with built-in data efficiency and protection for ROBOs, cost-effective scalability, and centralised management.
Compatibility with hybrid cloud
Get enterprise-level performance, reliability, and control with the efficiency, flexibility, and economics of cloud.
Optimisation of Tier-1 apps
Improve the performance and recovery time of Tier-1 applications like Microsoft Exchange, SQL Server, and Oracle.
A modern infrastructure
Achieve the true power of hyperconvergence by combining your entire infrastructure into a simple, flexible building block with full consolidation of your software and hardware devices below the hypervisor.

An emerging data centre architectural option, dubbed hyperconverged infrastructure, is a new way to reduce your costs and better align enterprise IT with business needs. At its most basic, hyperconverged infrastructure is the conglomeration of the servers and storage devices that comprise the data centre. These systems are wrapped in comprehensive and easy-to-use management tools designed to help shield the administrator from much of the underlying architectural complexity.
