The public sector is facing some tough challenges. The pandemic has required state and local governments as well as educational institutions to shift priorities to address new remote workforce requirements, highly distributed learning environments, increased cybersecurity risks, and the need for new contactless public services.
Significant budget shortfalls are not making things any easier. Even after accounting for federal aid from the CARES Act and the newly passed American Rescue Plan (ARP), experts believe that the recent round of government layoffs and cuts in services will require some serious restructuring across state and local government agencies to get back on track.
Wish HCI could do more? Maybe it’s time for some disaggregation, says HPE
If you don t know what you ll need three to six months from now, disaggregated dHCI can be a better play

Sponsored Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) ticks a lot of boxes for a lot of organizations.
Recent figures from IDC showed growth in the overall converged systems market was static in the fourth quarter of 2020, but sales growth for hyperconverged systems accelerated, up 7.4 percent and accounting for almost 55 per cent of the market.
It’s not hard to see why this might be. The pandemic means that many organizations are having to support largely remote workforces, meaning a surge of interest in systems that can support virtual desktop infrastructure. Those all-in-one systems seem to offer a straightforward way to scale up compute and storage to meet these challenges in a predictable, albeit slightly lumpy, way.
Enhancements for HPE SimpliVity at the edge with comprehensive data protection and container integration

The need for edge computing has increased through the proliferation of data-gathering devices now located in factories, oil rigs, airplanes, shipping containers, homes and even race cars.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. has recently enhanced its SimpliVity offering for the enterprise edge as part of its overall strategy for hyperconvergence, an IT framework that combines compute, storage and networking into a single system. For a major enterprise tech provider such as HPE, which ships four servers and 46 terabytes of storage every 60 seconds, a hyperconverged solution targeted for the edge makes perfect sense.

New Delhi : Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced enhancements to HPE SimpliVity for the enterprise edge, including advancements in data protection with native backup to cloud and centralized backup for compliance. Additionally, HPE is announcing support for containers to run cloud-native applications at the edge, and drive business transformation. New capabilities include:
· Kubernetes CSI Plugin for HPE SimpliVity provides streamlined management and resilient, all-in-one hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) to run both container and virtual machine (VM) workloads on a unified platform at the edge
· HPE SimpliVity enhanced integration with HPE StoreOnce protects distributed edge sites with automated, app-aware policies to easily and efficiently replicate apps and data directly to a centralized HPE StoreOnce appliance for compliance and long-term retention

All companies that use cloud services do so for a reason. But those reasons may change. Whether motivated by the need for a multi-cloud strategy, expenditure minimization, legislative or regulatory demands, or simply to get closer to end users, many organizations find themselves migrating from one cloud to another. Cloud-to-cloud migration for a non-trivial application contains a lot of unknown unknowns. This causes stress and uncertainty for a CTO. To help shed some light based on years of experience in the field, we have asked senior cloud architect Lars Larsson at Elastisys, to list some of these issues.
