Now we have to talk about HPE Tower Servers, HPE SimpliVity, and finally HPE Nimble Storage dHCI. To make you more familiar with the concepts of network physical servers and to get acquainted with the reputable vendors of network servers, we have prepared a number of blogs as a series, the different parts of which are as follows:

Part 1: Concepts

Part 2: HPE Proliant Servers Family, HPE Rack Servers

Part 3: HPE Tower Servers, HPE SimpliVity, HPE Nimble Storage dHCI

In this series of blogs you will come across a variety of terms, abbreviations, concepts, and technologies. We have tried to explain the general concepts and terms as much as possible in the first part of this series. In the following sections, we assume that you have read first part and therefore we will not re-explain these concepts and terms in the following sections.

Last note, in preparing this blog, we have tried to use the documents and content available on the official website of the manufacturer of HPE servers, namely the website hpe.com. All information is based on the contents of this website.
