Nth Generation and Hewlett Packard Enterprise
have paired to offer a secure:
Hybrid Cloud Assessment
for Virtualized Environments
Powered by HPE CloudPhysics
Quickly identify and collect detailed data about your datacenter workloads to produce optimized compute and storage configurations that can better meet your performance, capacity, and trending demands.
RIGHT-SIZE YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE TO LOWER COSTS
Ensure workloads live on the most cost-effective infrastructure possible.
​
OPTIMIZE WORKLOADS ACROSS CLOUDS
Map your entire VMware infrastructure against current pricing and configuration options from the leading cloud providers.
​
TRANFORM YOUR IT PURCHASING EXPERIENCE
Improve a virtual data center, transform a private cloud, or look to transition certain workloads to the public cloud.
How Does it Work?
Nth Generation, an HPE Platinum Partner, will be utilizing a HPE data analytics engine — HPE CloudPhysics — that runs within a SaaS platform where you can monitor your VMware infrastructure for a short assessment period.
During this time the you will also have access to the unique analytics UI with VM right-sizing recommendations.
You will be able to compare workload costs of on-premise to public cloud to aid in the discovery of the proper cloud strategy for your organization.
The HPE Shared Storage Analytics card quickly summarizes all datastores currently deployed in your environment based on storage types, vendors, models, and performance.
Visibility into these
values can assist you to:

Find datastores by hardware Vendor and Model Find performance bottlenecks by datastore and associated hardware.
​
Identify inefficiencies in hardware that can be upgraded or replaced.
​
Identify capacity and usage trends by datastore and by VM tagged subset reporting.
​
Use non-disruptive, patented workload tracing to simulate workloads on alternative storage platforms, and to conduct POCs remotely, eliminating on-premise POC work and systems.
​
The Shared Storage Analytics card can also quickly quantify storage utilization and performance for each datastore to focus on hosts and VM’s generating the greatest impact on the storage subsystem.
These same metrics can be used to scope and scale hardware upgrades and replacements within your environment.
​
Take the data further and use the capacity output to plan placement or storage migration plans for new workloads based on over-commits, snapshots, and thin/thick provisioned capacity.
Quickly identify and optimize compute and storage workloads
Rapidly map datastores to underlying shared storage systems with the most contention or performance issues. Use this data to help you plan and right size VM placement, storage upgrades, and migrations to other platforms with better understanding of how on-premise hybrid options may compare to costs of the same workloads in the public cloud.
The Nth HPE Hybrid Cloud assessment can help you with why and how fast you’re running out of space – and what you can do about it. It will reveal cost savings opportunities for your virtual infrastructure and help identify the right mix of on-premise vs public cloud.
Reduce the risk of compute workload and storage-related failures and performance issues.
Shorten time to resolution of datastore or VM i/o contention, and allocation of resource problems.
Quick reporting of shared storage analysis, VM guest tools, cluster health, and aggregate power consumption.
Reclaim wasted storage space and more optimal rightsizing of VM compute (vCPU, vRAM) allocations.
Provide innovative analytics to make better data-driven decisions and lower costs of infrastructure.
Provide accurate data direct from vCenter that will allow Nth Generation to make further recommendations.
