Hyperconverged Decision – Key Customer
Considerations
Matt Bouges, Conagra
Conagra Brands Company Profile
§ Headquarters in Chicago, IL
§ 40 locations, including offices in
Chicago, IL, and Omaha, NE
§ More than 13,000 employees
§ Over $8 billion in annual
revenue
§ 50+ brands
§ Aging infrastructure
§ Converged architecture using
Cisco UCS, NetApp and HDS
– 1,500 desktops
§ Expensive and complex
§ Difficult to grow
§ New requirements due to IT
and business outsourcing –
mission critical
VDI Infrastructure Problem
Converged or Hypercovnerged?
§ Initially only looked at
converged
§ Did not believe HCI was ready
for mission-critical workloads
§ Concerned about new skill sets
for a new architecture
Why HCI, What Changed?
§ Rapid HCI maturity – all flash,
VSAN 6, etc.
§ Moving to a solo data center
with 1,000 sq. feet – size
matters!
§ Developed comfort with the
technology through POCs
§ Great fit for VDI workloads
HCI Solutions Considered
§ Nutanix – not already in our DC
§ Dell/EMC VxRail – complex and
constraining
§ Cisco Hyperflex – maturity level
and size
§ Hitachi UCP HC – the right fit!
§ Hitachi UCP HC 240F – 2 per
data center (4 nodes ea.)
§ 512 GB RAM, 28 cores per
node, 30 TB all flash per site
§ VMware Horizon Enterprise 7,
cloud pod architecture
§ HDI and HCP for UEM profiles
§ 12u total for 1500-2000
desktops
