HPE SimpliVity and the art of doing less
Seven minutes saved at the racetrack. Fewer copies in the data center. HPE SimpliVity makes a business of removing the work that gets between a question and its answer.

DataCore’s 28-Year Bet: Your Storage Hardware Isn’t the Product - Control Is
DataCore built a business by telling IT teams to keep the expensive storage they already own. Now, after acquisitions and a Kubernetes push, it is trying to make the same anti-lock-in argument from the data center to the edge.
The Computer That Survives the ICU (and the Oil Refinery)

Nutanix
Nutanix is a San Jose-based enterprise cloud software company that pioneered hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), collapsing servers, storage, virtualization and networking into a single software layer that runs the same way in a private data center, at the edge, or in the public cloud. Its platform lets IT teams run virtual machines, containers, databases and AI workloads across clouds without the operational sprawl of traditional three-tier architecture. Now a public company (NASDAQ: NTNX) with more than $2.5 billion in annual revenue and roughly 7,000+ employees, Nutanix competes head-on with VMware as enterprises rethink their virtualization stack.
