(CS / Milan) Last fall Cisco began a collaboration with Simplivity, a company that specializes in the so-called hyperkonvergerad architecture. The result of this collaboration is called the Cisco C240 with Omnistack based on Cisco’s servers instead of the Dell Servers Simplivity normally use.
– With our servers in combination with Simplivitys accelerator cards and software gives customers the best of both worlds. You get a system with hyper-convergence and tight integration with VMware from Simplivity in combination with fast, easy provisioning and monitoring of infrastructure with UCS Manager, says Cisco systems expert Greger Jerlehagen.
Simplivity is a relatively new player in the market and it was only last year that the company established a Swedish office.
– A years ago we were only 230 employees and now we’re up to 400 and seen a fivefold growth, says Simplivitys Sweden head Anders Perlinger.

Anders Perlinger state that it managed to sell 18 Omnicube so far in Sweden. The common denominator is that they are based on the proprietary technology for pre-deduplication that deduplicate data in real time before it is stored and it is performed by an accelerator card. The system also includes built-in support for backing up and restoring data without additional licensing costs. Simplivity also stresses happy that they have features to replace not only traditional storage systems, but also WAN accelerators, cloud gateways and products for backup processing.
