Every organization’s need for server computing runs the gamut from modest department-level requirements to massive high-performance datacenters. Understanding the capacity needed for specific use cases is the first step in sizing one’s compute resources, which enables envisioning the entire target configuration.

Derive has deep expertise and experience working with all the major compute vendors (Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, Cisco, etc.)  and their wide-ranging portfolio of solutions. Each vendor in the compute space has its nuances that suit them for specific target use cases.

When working with a client to build a plan for compute resources, a Derive team assesses the current state of a computing environment with the goal of understanding the existing overall compute, storage, network, and virtualization utilization currently deployed. Once the current state inventory and capacity are documented, Derive assists clients in selecting the right platform for their infrastructure.

The Right Platform for the Job

  • Traditional rack mount/tower computing server form factors are popular choices for SMB, branch, or departmental “point solutions”
  • High-density blade enclosure solutions such as Cisco UCS blades and HP Synergy composable infrastructure are often the right answer for use cases that emphasize power saving, physical footprint reduction, and rapid expandability/scaling capabilities
  • Hyperconverged computing solutions combine compute, networking, and storage in a single chassis, eliminating the need for dedicated shared storage and storage area networking

Derive’s Partners for Compute Solutions

  • HPE – provides traditional server platforms and hyperconverged infrastructures
  • Nutanix – hyperconverged compute solutions
  • Lenovo – traditional server towers and rack systems
  • Dell - hyperconverged systems and traditional server towers and rack systems
  • Cisco – hyperconverged systems
