“SimpliVity’s foundational OmniStack Data Virtualization Platform was initially launched after 43 months in development, two to three times longer than other converged IT vendors. This investment allowed us to become the only hyperconverged vendor to assimilate all IT infrastructure below the hypervisor,” said Jesse St. Laurent, vice president of product strategy, SimpliVity. “Now we’ve broadened our portfolio with OmniStack for Hyper-V, in addition to increasing productivity with sophisticated automation and predictive analysis, and delivering greater availability and risk mitigation through expanded multi-site deployment options.”

OmniStack for Hyper-V Provides More Hypervisor Options
Hyper-V is quickly increasing its market penetration and becoming an alternate hypervisor for many businesses, especially those maintaining multi-hypervisor environments. SimpliVity has extended the OmniStack Data Virtualization Platform to support Hyper-V environments within Microsoft Windows Server 2016 to offer more choice and flexibility to these large enterprises. OmniStack for Hyper-V delivers all the same benefits of SimpliVity’s hyperconverged infrastructure, including accelerated data efficiency, global unified management, and built-in data protection for Hyper-V based virtual machines running on SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure.
