It's time to get off the sidelines and accomplish your data center modernization goals!
When I talk to customers these days, nearly all of them have data center modernization on their minds. Some want to free themselves from the cost concerns and risks of legacy IT so they can simply run existing applications with better performance, efficiency, and security. Some want the latest IT so they can take advantage of cool new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, containers, and quantum computing. Many want to do all of this. And nearly all of them hope modernization will help them overcome challenges with staffing shortages, budget pressures, and the need to reduce energy consumption to fight rising energy costs so they can meet their sustainability goals.
It's an incredible vision, and one that’s quite possible to achieve. But many organizations find themselves sitting on the modernization sidelines, unsure of how to get from where they are to where they want to be. These organizations understand that data center modernization isn’t a one-time fix, it’s an ongoing process that needs to solve for very specific demands at each step.
As you can imagine, modernization gets complicated really fast
For example, most customers I talk to are already running workloads in the public cloud as part of their modernization strategy. They appreciate the flexibility and scalability of public cloud, but unpredictable costs, data sovereignty concerns, and latency/performance issues have made it clear that not all workloads are the right fit for public cloud. At the very same time, data center complexity is stretching short-staffed IT departments more than ever before. So, starting down the path to modernization requires a series of decisions around where to put critical workloads to optimize cost, performance, and security for each one. What goes into the public cloud? What stays on premises, at a colocation facility, or at the edge? Do any workloads need to be moved from the cloud back to the datacenter? How do you manage it all across databases, mission-critical applications, VDI, and so on?
At HPE, we understand our customer’s modernization challenges, and we work together with our partners to help make these kinds of decisions easier for you. That’s why a combined HPE GreenLake, Nutanix™, and AMD® solution offers unmatched performance and flexibility for building the exact cloud you want—on your own terms. With HPE, Nutanix and AMD, you can get the flexibility of an outcome-based consumption model, capable of supporting both private and hybrid cloud, databases, mission-critical applications, and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)/end user computing workloads.
Advantage for resource-constrained organizations
To begin with, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) has proven to provide a big advantage for resource-constrained organizations in today’s tough IT talent market. Nutanix delivers innovative HCI software that accelerates application delivery, with high-performing scalability and simplified management. It comes in easy-to-deploy building blocks so you can grow as you go. And so that you can pay as you go, HPE offers you a way to procure combined Nutanix software and HPE hardware in a true pay-per use model via HPE GreenLake, with API-driven integrations, self-service purchasing, and comprehensive managed services options.
Balance cost, performance, and power
Finally, these solutions leverage the latest AMD® EPYC™ processors in a wide array of configurations—up to 96 cores—so you can match the right processor with your legacy, advanced, and emerging workloads for the optimum balance of cost, performance, and power.
For added confidence, HPE, Nutanix and AMD have a long history of delivering enterprise-class solutions, with services organizations that help our customers be more successful with the solutions they choose—so you don’t have to go it alone. Together, we’ve already helped:
- A quantum computing technology company transition from a 100% public cloud model to 80% private cloud to help them solve OpEx challenges.
- A banking customer transition from bare-metal to a 100% virtualization environment to supercharge their application evolution and hybrid cloud strategy.
- A major pharmaceutical company transition to a 24/7/365 manufacturing model with a zero-recovery-time factory floor.
All three of these customers were successful with an HPE GreenLake, Nutanix, and AMD solution, creating a precedent you can count on.
Together, HPE, Nutanix, and AMD can help you realize your modernization vision, with a simple, performant, pay-per-use approach that gives you more choices to meet your organization’s needs. We like to say we keep it simple and scalable on the back end so you can focus on putting technology to work for your business.
