HPE Expands “Pay-Per-Use IT” to Key Business Workloads

SINGAPORE –
November 28, 2017 – Today, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)
announced the launch of HPE GreenLake, a suite of pay-per-use solutions
available for top customer workloads. Those offerings include: big data,
backup, open database, SAP HANA, and edge computing. As part of its continued
focus on providing customers flexible consumption offerings, HPE is also
rebranding and making enhancements to HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, a market
leading infrastructure consumption service.

IT teams are under
more pressure than ever to deliver solutions fast, while minimizing company
risk and cost. The shift to consumption and “everything-as-a-service”
accelerates businesses, but often with the loss of control for IT. To answer
this challenge, businesses require flexible infrastructure environments
on-premises that offer cloud-like capabilities for workloads. HPE GreenLake
simplifies the IT experience and offers customers choice in where workloads
should live and how to flexibly consume them.

The outcome-based IT
consumption solutions include:

·       HPE GreenLake Big Data offers a Hadoop data lake,
pre-integrated and tested on the latest HPE technology and Hortonworks or
Cloudera software.    

·       HPE GreenLake Backup delivers on-premises backup capacity
using Commvault software pre-integrated on the latest HPE technology with HPE
metering technology and management services to run it.

·       HPE GreenLake Database with EDB
Postgres delivered
on-premises and built on open source technology to help simplify operations and
substantially reduce total cost of ownership for a customer’s entire database
platform.

·       HPE GreenLake for SAP HANA offers an on-premises appliance operated
by HPE with the right-sized, SAP-certified hardware, operating system, and
services to meet workload performance and availability objectives.

·       HPE GreenLake Edge Compute offers an end-to-end lifecycle
framework to accelerate a customer’s Internet of Things (IoT) journey.

“Building
on the leadership and success of consuming infrastructure with HPE GreenLake
Flex Capacity, we are taking the next step in consumption,” said Ana Pinczuk,
SVP and GM of HPE Pointnext. “HPE GreenLake offers an experience that is the
best of both worlds – a simple, pay-per-use technology model with the risk
management of data that’s under the customer’s direct control.”

HPE
GreenLake is the next generation of on-premises consumption services that go
beyond pay-per-use infrastructure to pay-per-use outcomes. Included in each HPE
GreenLake outcome-driven solution is:

·       Advisory and
professional services from HPE Pointnext to help customers quickly define,
deploy, and integrate your solution, as well as provide HPE recommendations for
continual optimization of systems and processes.

·       Purpose-built reference
architectures, based on the latest technologies (hardware and software) and
optimized for each solution, to help deliver results quickly.

·       HPE’s proven
pay-per-use HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity model to consume a wide range of
infrastructure from HPE using a unique business metric.

·       Remote monitoring and
management of the solution by HPE Pointnext, offloading routine infrastructure
management tasks from the IT department and providing both skills and knowledge
of the new technologies from day one.

·       Enterprise-grade support
along with an HPE Digital Learner subscription to e-learning content, providing
the digital skills needed for IT to do its best work.

The
foundation of new offering is HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, an innovative
service delivered by HPE Pointnext that brings on-premises infrastructure
consumption to customers today. Depending on need, level of expertise required,
and in-house IT resources, businesses can choose between HPE GreenLake complete
solutions or HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity based infrastructure solutions.

As
part of today’s news, HPE is also announcing enhancements to HPE GreenLake Flex
Capacity that include:

·       New modular,
pre-packaged infrastructure choices to help customers get started faster and
stay ahead of demand with active capacity planning.

·       Expanded technology
choices – with high performance computing (HPC), Microsoft Azure Stack, and HPE
SimpliVity – to help customers design their infrastructure solutions and
consume them the way that they need.

These
latest enhancements to HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity come on the heels of recent
announcements with Rackspace and Wipro Limited that reflect the company’s
ongoing growth with consumption-based services through partnership and
innovation.
