HPE0-J82: HPE Storage Architect

HPE SimpliVity is not sold as software layered onto any ProLiant server; it ships as prebuilt hyperconverged node families, each bound to one specific ProLiant chassis. There are two such families: HPE SimpliVity 325, built on the single-socket AMD EPYC HPE ProLiant DL325, a 1U node aimed at edge, remote-office and space-constrained or SMB deployments, and HPE SimpliVity 380, built on the dual-socket HPE ProLiant DL380, the 2U mainstream data-center node with the larger drive, memory and GPU envelope. Because a sizing tool can only produce an orderable bill of materials from supported node SKUs, the SimpliVity Sizer in HPE Ninja Online scopes its recommendations to exactly those two chassis families and sizes cluster capacity, cores and RAM against them. The HPE ProLiant DL360 is a general-purpose 1U dual-socket rack server and has never been a SimpliVity node chassis; the only SimpliVity line not based on a DL platform was the legacy SimpliVity 2600, which used the Apollo 2000/r2600 chassis with XL170r server trays. The HPE ProLiant DL345 is likewise a real, current single-socket AMD EPYC 2U ProLiant server, but it is a standalone compute platform and is not offered as a SimpliVity hyperconverged node, so neither model appears in the sizer's output. This platform pairing is stated in the HPE SimpliVity 325 and HPE SimpliVity 380 QuickSpecs and the HPE SimpliVity FAQ.
