HPE Unveils Industry’s First SaaS-Based Multi-Cloud Management Solution for On-Premises and Public Clouds

SINGAPORE
– November 29, 2017 – Today, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) introduced HPE
OneSphere, the industry’s first multi-cloud management solution that provides a
unified experience across public clouds, on-premises private clouds and
software-defined infrastructure. Through its software-as-a-service (SaaS)
portal, HPE OneSphere provides customers access to a pool of IT resources that
spans the public cloud services they subscribe to, as well as their on-premises
environments. HPE OneSphere is designed for IT
operations, developers, and business executives seeking to build clouds, deploy
applications, and gain insights faster.

Enterprises today are
challenged to quickly capitalize on a relentless volume of information from
applications to more effectively compete.  These new applications are
created differently – virtualized, containerized, built as microservices – and
can straddle clouds and sites, creating complexity.

Managing multi-cloud
environments today is complicated. Organizations may have multiple points of
management, preventing an aggregate accounting of resource utilization and
costs. Traditional cloud management platforms are difficult to set up and
manage, and don’t span public clouds and on-premises. These factors hinder IT
organizations’ ability to make informed decisions, impacting digital
transformation initiatives and operational agility.

HPE OneSphere’s multi-cloud
strategy – enabling the solution to be used with any public cloud provider – is
designed to dramatically simplify operations. The solution works across virtual
machines, containerized workloads, and bare metal applications, so internal
stakeholders can compose hybrid clouds capable of supporting both traditional
and cloud-native applications. Delivered as a service, HPE OneSphere provides
users with a single point to access all their applications and data from
anywhere. Through it, users can build private clouds and connect public cloud
resources, resulting in a virtual resource pool.

With its unified
experience, HPE OneSphere streamlines DevOps and provides deep insights across
an enterprise’s public and on-premises environments to accelerate cycle times,
improve productivity, and generate cost savings – increasing the speed of
digital transformation.

“Our customers need a
radically new approach – one that’s designed for the new hybrid IT reality,”
stated Ric Lewis, senior vice president and general manager, Software-Defined
and Cloud Group at HPE. “With HPE OneSphere, we’re abstracting away the complexity
of managing multi-cloud environments and applications so our customers can
focus on what’s important – accelerating digital transformation and driving
business outcomes.”

Through HPE Pointnext,
HPE simplifies customers’ end-to-end digital transformation, including helping
them build their strategy, implement multi-cloud environments and simplify
costs through consumption models.  With the recent acquisition of CTP,
which specializes in cloud consulting services, HPE brings expertise in
migrating, developing, and managing cloud applications and infrastructures
across public and private clouds. In addition, the HPE OneSphere
pay-for-use subscription licensing model complements the HPE Flexible Capacity
pay-for-use consumption model for customers’ on-premises infrastructure. HPE
makes it simple and affordable for customers to start with a single DevOps
project or manage across a multi-cloud, multi-site enterprise.

A solution to
accelerate digital transformation

HPE OneSphere is ideal
for businesses that want to capitalize on digital disruption and enable a
broad range of new customer experiences. Key benefits include:

·       Improved speed and simplicity – To respond to developers faster, IT
admins can build clouds and deploy virtual machines, containers, and bare
metal in minutes. As projects grow, HPE OneSphere enables rapid dynamic
provisioning across public cloud and on-premises environments.   

·       Accelerated application delivery – With unique multi-tenant workspaces
called Projects, HPE streamlines and speeds application development and
deployment with environments where developers can self-service provision and
access catalogs containing templates, cloud-native tools, services and
applications.

·       Greater cost efficiency – HPE OneSphere provides a single view of
usage and aggregate costs across all public cloud and on-premises deployments,
so CIOs can control and optimize resources and spending. This solution also has
the unique ability to provide “showback” costs by cloud, site, line of
business, application or subscriber, and enable real-time self-service cost
reporting to designated users.

Key HPE OneSphere
features include:

·       Multi-cloud architecture, supporting
different combinations of public clouds, as well as on-premises environments

·       Unified experience across clouds, sites,
orchestration tools, platforms-as-a-service (PaaS) and containers, minimizing
the need for specialized skills

Project workspaces designed for IT operations, business users and consumers of
IT, such as developers, data scientists and researchers
