HPE Synergy is Hewlett Packard Enterprise's software designed to support a composable infrastructure, which treats IT resources as a service that can be "composed" and deployed out to applications in near real-time, eliminating the need to configure hardware.

HPE Synergy

A composable infrastructure is a pool of hardware resources managed, or "composed," in a software-defined manner to meet the needs of applications with the goal of eliminating the need for the configuration of hardware. This works by treating hardware resources (compute, networks, storage) as services that can be composed on the fly via software to create a virtual server optimized for the application which needs the resources. The goal is to increase server utilization and efficiency, and reduce the time needed to deploy applications.

All about HPE Synergy Part 1: single Frame initialization and configuration

WEI's Chief Architect, Dave Fafel, joins us on this episode of Real Tech with WEI to talk about the latest innovation in data center technology - composable infrastructure and HPE Synergy. Dave talks about why this solution is needed for data center modernization, talks about the 5 components of the HPE Synergy platform, and he tells you what you really need to know about this solution before making an investment. After the video, ask WEI for a demo of Synergy, or an infrastructure assessment to better understand how the new solution can benefit your IT organization.

HPE Synergy solves our business problems for scaling and sizing various virtualized environments across the board via its composable infrastructure features. The logical encapsulation of all resources provides a set of rich functionality for policy based management, allocation/reallocation and utilization of resources.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Nearly instant configuration of applications according to specific requirements within a single pool
Deployment, updating and monitoring via a single interface
Updates and redeployment with minimal service interruption
Support for virtual, bare metal and containerized workloads

Things done well

Firmware repository size limitations could be larger (was increased recently but still is only room for a few SPPs)
Profile template updates flag all machines that haven't had their profile updated from the template, causing the dashboard to go red with warnings and can cause unnecessary concern
OneView, while powerful isn't as user friendly as it could be

Things done poorly

Best suited for virtualization and multi-environment implementations.  Bare metal deployments have a few more limitations.

Unified management
Policy based administration (composable infrastructure)
Firmware management

Most Important Features 3.4.21

Eased concerns for go-live of a huge new deployment as we knew we could respond to any scaling concern swiftly and thoroughly
Hardware has been rock solid since implementation
Limits to initially deployed logical enclosure configurations have been addressed rapidly by the introduction of new hardware with fast speeds/additional management ring connectivity options

Return on Investment

While all similar offerings can achieve basically the same thing, HPE Synergy stands out against Cisco and Dell offerings with respect to manageability, ease of use and flexibility - HPE Synergy offers configurations groups of chassis to create logical enclosures that can be managed as a single entity and also blades in any slot can be plumbed and allocated as necessary to multiple uplinks. This is one level more flexible than the others which limits configurations of blades in a single chassis to similar uplink settings.  Also, the HPE Synergy chassis itself supports 12 blades vs 10 in competitive offerings.
