Simplify your VMware operations with HPE GreenLake-delivered VMware Cloud Foundation software-defined cloud as a service that helps you build your cloud your way and operate in a secure shared operating model.

It’s no secret that IT modernization and complexity go hand in hand. Almost all the customers I speak with these days use multiple clouds to prevent vendor lock-in and ensure flexibility and scalability, while keeping sensitive workloads on-premises because of their data sovereignty and performance requirements.

But as IT environments grow, new virtualization technologies get rolled in—and operations stretch from the data center to colocations and edges—it gets complicated. And with understaffed IT departments already stretched thin, it’s critical that modernization delivers on the promise of streamlining operations instead of adding to the complexity.

To support fast-moving business goals and infrastructure modernization, IT organizations are well-served to standardize on a consistent foundation that delivers a common operational delivery model across a sprawl of cloud environments. Standardizing on a full stack hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) with consistent tools and processes streamlines operations by providing unified visibility and management for all environments. The resulting transformation of traditional IT into a private cloud that still supports existing legacy applications alongside cloud-native applications is a game changer.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own.

HPE understands that IT modernization can be complex, and we work together with trusted partners to make the journey easier for you. That’s why we’ve teamed up with VMware to give you a simplified, secure cloud experience that’s delivered as a service, giving you everything you need to quickly deploy or extend VMware environments to support modern business outcomes.

As explained by Ricky Cooper, head of Worldwide Partner and Commercial Sales at VMware, “The solution is built around VMware Cloud Foundation together with an HPE GreenLake-delivered multicloud platform designed to help you transition seamlessly to a modern, cloud-secure shared operating model with a standardized private cloud at its core.” Deploying VMware Cloud Foundation with the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform gives our mutual customers a choice of software-defined, standardized outcome-based compute instance types for the workload domains with many of the benefits of public cloud—including cloud economics—with the flexibility of deploying on-premises or at a colocation facility. The HPE GreenLake pay-per-use, managed for you, scale up and down, self-service consumption model gives you unfettered access to capacity as needed, while minimizing upfront costs and offloading IT management to HPE experts.

In short, with HPE GreenLake for VMware Cloud Foundation, you can:

• Deploy cloud services on-premises to support VMs/containers.
• Adapt more quickly to change with standardized software-defined cloud instances.

• Simplify IT with a remote HPE-managed solution that eliminates day-to-day operational overhead.

• Refine the costs of running a VMware Cloud Foundation environment via pay-per-use billing.
• Gain financial transparency that directly associates cost to consumption.
• Improve private cloud security.

The HPE and VMware strategic alliance spans more than 20 years, and we have more than 200,000 shared customers. Together, we accelerate your modernization journey with the industry’s most complete portfolio of integrated virtualization, cloud, and mobility solutions designed to work cohesively in cloud environments.

We’re dedicated to helping you modernize from edge to core to cloud, tackle IT complexity, innovate with AI, and manage business-critical workloads—wherever they reside. We’re proud to have been named Worldwide VMware Partner of the Year, and I want to congratulate VMware for being named the HPE Momentum Technology Partner of the Year 2023.

It’s a “better together” story that’s still going strong.

Together, HPE and VMware can help you modernize IT with a pay-per-use approach that gives you more choices with simplicity and consistency that let you focus on putting technology to work for your business.
