Hi all! One HCI fanboy here. ;)

Can't believe I haven't found my way here earlier. Awesome to see that there's a SimpliVity community on Reddit too!

Anyway, I got an early access to the SimpliVity OmniStack version 4.1, which was announced...about 3 minutes ago. ;)

I also got a SimpliVity 325 demo node pair from HPE and so I made a short video about cabling and software deployment (with version 4.1, of course).

Thought you might appreciate it so check the video out here: https://youtu.be/qeRUEuEWync

Let me know if you have any questions about SimpliVity 325 or the new software version 4.1. Also, if you have any ideas what would you like to see me doing wi

This was released today. The biggest change, and one I've been waiting for, is it now supports ESXi 6.7!

Looking forward to getting this rolled out in the New Year.

So we are stuck on vSphere 6.0 with the s***** vSphere Web Client (because v3.7.0 no longer supports the C# vSphere client). So when will that be fixed? No clue, no timeline from HPE. Their product management sucks beyond belief.

ISSUE #2 We have a total of 9 nodes in our company, a mix of Dell and Lenovo. Loved the product prior to HPE pulling a "Dell type" acquisition. Hung our I.T. future on their HCE solution. Well guess what, purchased four additional nodes and have yet to get them deployed (two are two months old, the other two

Good day all!
