HPE Hyper Converged 250 System: технические характеристики и документация

HPE Hyper Converged 250 System

For customers who are looking for a simple, agile and highly available virtualization system, the Hyper Converged 250 family eliminates complex solution stacks. It combines a powerful Apollo server platform and mature StoreVirtual data services from Hewlett Packard Enterprise into one building block to simplify the delivery of virtualized servers and desktops. The Hyper Converged 250 family supports VMware and Microsoft virtualization technologies, and continues to provide a turn-key virtualization solution for medium-sized businesses, enterprises, and IaaS providers.

Designed from the ground up for the software-defined data center, the HC 250 enables a standardized, appliance approach to virtual server deployment, regardless of whether it is used as a primary virtualization platform in medium-sized businesses or as a dedicated resource pool for specific applications in the enterprise.

All hardware and software components are pre-installed and pre-integrated by Hewlett Packard Enterprise  and quick customization using the OneView InstantOn software enables faster time to value. After the initial installation, IT administrators manage their virtualized environment within VMware vCenter Server and OneView for vCenter, or with Microsoft System Center user interfaces and HPE OneView for System Center management integrations.

StoreVirtual technology that is built into the HC 250 matches the high-availability features of the hypervisor (VMware Fault Tolerance, VMware High Availability, or Windows Failover Cluster) from a storage perspective to provide enterprise-level availability for virtualized applications and services. HC 250 provides superior high-availability beyond a single system, rack and even data center. As the storage components are vSphere Metro Storage Cluster (vMSC) certified, the HC 250 is a great fit for stretched VMware vSphere clusters.

NOTES:¹ Network RAID 10 requires two or more HC 250 nodes, Network RAID 5, 10, 10+1 require three or more nodes.
² Multi-site or stretched cluster configuration requires additional setup in the StoreVirtual management software and may require additional planning and configuration for the VMware or Microsoft virtualization software.
³ Configured for embedded Remote Support only (iLO 4) in Insight Remote Support; requires an external server for monitoring.

NOTE:  ¹ HPE OneView InstantOn automates the setup of four systems (16 nodes) in one management zone. Adding additional four systems (total of 32 nodes in the same management zone) is a manual operation and not recommended in standard installations.
² Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends Network RAID 10 protected volumes for production workloads. 4-node HC 250 systems with 5.6TB Hybrid Storage Configuration yields about 7.5TB usable Network RAID 10 protected capacity, or 11.5TB in a 4-node HC 250 for VMware vSphere with 7.2TB Capacity Storage Configuration; up to 500GB of storage pool capacity is pre-allocated for system management.
³ SFP+ transceivers or DAC options not included for flexibility; can be purchased separately on the same order.
⁴ One 1GbE port will be required for initial installation of the system.Customers are advised against changing the configuration of the pre-configured virtual switches. Secondary network connectivity cannot be used instead of primary network ports.
⁵ Warranty for SSDs is subject to maximum usage limitations. Maximum usage limit: This is the maximum amount of data that can be written to the drive. Drives that have reached this limit will not be eligible for warranty coverage.

NOTE: HPE recommends 10GbE connectivity for HC 250 models and IPv6 capable switching infrastructure. In an advanced configuration, customers can use configure secondary network ports for additional virtual machine networks; these ports are not intended and configured in a standard installation. Customers are advised against changing the configuration of the virtual switches. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends HPE Networking 5700 and 5900CP series switches for best results.

Unmatched ease of use for server virtualization

• Storage Clustering simplifies scalability
  Storage Clustering allows a customer to consolidate multiple storage nodes into pools of storage. All available capacity and performance is aggregated and available to every volume in the cluster. As storage needs increase the HC 250 can scale performance and capacity on-line.
• Network RAID delivers new levels of data availability
  Network RAID stripes and protects multiple copies of data across a cluster of storage nodes, eliminating any single point of failure in the HC 250. Applications have continuous data availability in the event of a disk, controller, storage node, power, network, or site failure. Choose the right Network RAID level for each data store containing virtualized workloads in the resource pool based on capacity and performance needs.
• Thin Provisioning reduces costs by increasing storage efficiency
  Thin Provisioning allocates space only as data is actually written without requiring pre-allocation of storage. This raises the overall utilization and efficiency of the HC 250, reduces costs and ultimately increases the ROI.
• Application Integrated Snapshots
  Snapshots create thinly provisioned, instant point-in-time copies of data on a per-volume basis. Administrators access snapshots to recover individual files from the volume, or rollback an entire volume. Built-in application integration provides automated quiescing for virtual machines on Microsoft Hyper-V or VMware vSphere: using the Application Aware Snapshot Manager, consistency can be extended from VM-consistent to application-consistent snapshots for VMs with Microsoft Windows.
• Remote Copy reduces costs for disaster recovery
  Remote Copy replicates snapshots between HC 250 and StoreVirtual-based devices arrays at primary and remote locations. Copies are thinly provisioned with no space reservation required. Remote Copy enables centralized backup and disaster recovery on a per-volume basis and leverages application integrated snapshots for faster recovery. Remote Copy makes the HC 250 the perfect fit for regional data centers. With additional StoreVirtual VSA licenses, turn any server with a hypervisor in a central site into a replication target for the HC 250 for enhanced business continuity. Using StoreVirtual VSA as replication target, allows for custom disaster recovery sits and failover can also be integrated with VMware Site Recovery Manager.
• Adaptive Optimization provides SSD performance without SSD cost (available with Hybrid Storage only)
  Auto-tiering technology for hybrid storage configurations on the HC 250 helps optimize cost and performance of clusters. By utilizing Adaptive Optimization technology to migrate data between storage tiers within individual storage systems, the HC 250 provides a unique method for balancing performance versus capacity within a storage pool and lowering overall cost.
• Adding more storage resources on demand
  Any StoreVirtual device (StoreVirtual VSA, StoreVirtual 4000) can be added to the same environment as HC 250. This allows for more flexibility when additional storage capacity, or storage with different performance characteristics is needed. Adding another storage pool is easy with the StoreVirtual's Centralized Management Console and HPE OneView integration into hypervisor management: External storage resources are provisioned the same way as resources internal to the HC 250 platform. Hewlett Packard Enterprise  recommends StoreVirtual VSA Software or StoreVirtual 4335 Storage for additional storage.

Superior disaster recovery and flexibility

• Integrated replication for disaster recovery
  The Hyper Converged 250 includes integrated replication at no additional cost that simplifies management with simple failover and failback between primary production and a standby disaster recovery site. Additionally, the HC 250 for VMware vSphere includes the Site Recovery Adapter that integrates Remote Copy with VMware Site Recovery Manager.
• Change configurations without incurring downtime
  Administrators can add capacity, increase performance, grow and migrate volumes between HC 250 clusters on the fly with no application downtime.

Scalable Performance

• Purchase only what you need today
  Avoid up-front cost and potential performance constraints. Purchase only what's needed today, then grow the performance, capacity, and redundancy of your HC 250 online as your requirements evolve. Simplify planning and budgeting processes by purchasing what you need, when you need it.
• Scale performance and capacity simultaneously
  Each time new nodes or systems are added to an HC 250 environment, the capacity, performance, and redundancy of the entire storage solution increases.
• Avoid disruptive upgrades
  Add resources to the HC 250 cluster non-disruptively as capacity and performance requirements increase. Applications remain online during maintenance events (adding nodes, updating software or firmware) for best in class availability.

Easy to manage virtualized environment

• On-premise Azure cloud environments installed in record time
  Customize the HC 250 for Microsoft CPS Standard to make it fit your environment with just a few mouse clicks. Using HPE OneView InstantOn software, you can set up host names, IP addresses, networking configuration, and Microsoft Azure Services.
• Simple configuration of vSphere environment
  Customize the HC 250 for VMware vSphere to make it fit your environment with just a few mouse clicks: Setup host names, IP address and networking configuration using the easy-to-use HPE OneView InstantOn software.
• Easy day-to-day management with HPE OneView for System Center
  With HPE OneView for System Center, virtualization administrators stay within the familiar hypervisor management interface. Provision new virtual machines, clone virtual machines and storage resources in the same interface that you use every day.
• Centralized Management Console to manage the full range of StoreVirtual features
  Multiple data centers and sites can be managed from an all-inclusive "single pane-of-glass." All of the HC 250 advanced data services are managed from the Centralized Management Console (CMC) for simple, easy-to-manage storage components in the HC 250.
• Business continuity with integrated HA and DR
  Every HC 250 includes integrated synchronous and asynchronous replication at no additional cost. This reduces costs and simplifies management of high availability/fault tolerant and disaster recovery storage solutions.
