HPE and AWS expanded relationship offers solutions that help you bring the agility of hybrid cloud to your entire IT estate.

IT leaders recognize that the most effective cloud strategy is also the most flexible — one that incorporates hybrid and multicloud environments that accelerate AI initiatives, speed time to value, and scale as organizations grow. However, while 60% of IT professionals say cloud helped increase and sustain revenue over the last year, they also agree that hybrid cloud presents many challenges, according to a Foundry Cloud Computing study.[1]
Some of the biggest stumbling blocks leaders face include: providing a consistent experience across public and private environments, scaling AI across the enterprise, protecting hybrid workloads, and modernizing networks. Teams also struggle to streamline operations across hybrid cloud, manage compute across distributed environments, and understand where to best run their cloud and workloads.
To help organizations reduce the complexity of managing their IT estate at the edge, in the public cloud, and across hybrid cloud, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has expanded its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to create a consistent, seamless, reliable hybrid cloud experience that is simplified, flexible, and secure for enterprises developing and managing applications and workloads across an HPE GreenLake and AWS hybrid cloud.
SIMPLIFIED
Simplify operations across hybrid cloud
Bring unified observability to SD-WAN environments by providing real-time visibility into network health and performance. Automate routine tasks and consolidate tools so you can discover, observe, monitor and optimize your AWS and hybrid environment. With end-to-end full stack observability from OpsRamp, available on AWS Marketplace, you gain a single source of truth for all IT infrastructure resources and services across your environments, breaking down silos and maximizing performance.
Build and manage cloud-first enterprise networks
Modernize your enterprise network with seamless AWS integration and gain the agility to scale operations on demand. Experience high-performance connectivity that keeps critical applications running smoothly across all locations and deploy comprehensive network segmentation from edge to cloud with unified policies that protect your hybrid workloads and services. With a full suite of solutions that incorporates HPE Aruba Networking, Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN platform, AWS Cloud WAN, and Aruba Orchestrator, you can simplify deployment, monitoring, and troubleshooting for your enterprise WAN.
Manage compute across distributed environments
You want to ensure security, improve efficiency and control costs for your distributed environments, but face issues around downtime due to the inability to access servers remotely, delays in updating firmware and security patches, and limited IT resources. HPE Compute Ops Management, available on AWS Marketplace, delivers a unified, scalable cloud experience that simplifies compute management across your distributed environments and across the server lifecycle. With a consistent as-a-service experience, HPE Compute Ops Management allows you to manage thousands of servers as simply as managing one, delivering global visibility, insight, and speed across distributed environments while securely bringing cloud agility to distributed compute infrastructure.
FLEXIBLE
Streamline storage management across IT environments
Inconsistent management tools and workflows between on-prem and public cloud storage can create operational silos and cost inefficiencies. In addition, limited data mobility across hybrid cloud makes it difficult to move data and workloads to where they need to be, negatively impacting business and IT agility.
With HPE’s flexible storage options, you can integrate on-prem and cloud storage for AWS, simplifying storage management across your IT environment. HPE Alletra Block Storage for AWS, available on AWS Marketplace, brings on-prem block storage to public cloud on AWS so you can reduce cloud storage costs, run business-critical apps in the cloud, and quickly move data between public and private cloud based on your needs—all while maintaining security and compliance. In addition, you can unlock the full potential of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 for AWS as external storage with iSCSI to achieve scale requirements and better performance.
Replatform to containers for maximum workload portability
When it comes to cloud and workload placement, one size doesn’t fit all. Latency and performance, data sovereignty and compliance, workload type and complexity, and sustainability all need to be considered when choosing where to run and how to manage your business-critical applications. For example, when running Kubernetes workloads on public cloud, Amazon EKS is the right choice to manage your containers. If you choose to run Kubernetes on-premises, HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise with Amazon EKS Anywhere is a good choice as it allows you to streamline operations, modernize apps faster, and reduce expenses through predictable costs and consumption-based billing.
SECURE
Adopt secure, AI solutions that leverage your AWS investments
Enterprises struggling to demonstrate value from AI projects all face similar challenges: accessing the data they need to efficiently develop and train accurate models; moving from pilot to production more quickly; and keeping infrastructure complexity and costs in check. To help you meet these needs, HPE and AWS have partnered to provide you with the ability to leverage the HPE GreenLake platform to run and manage your public and private clouds in one place, as well as the option to use HPE Machine Learning Development Environment (MLDE) on AWS to accelerate your AI initiatives.
AI/ML engineers and data scientists can also use HPE MLDE on AWS to collaborate more easily, build more accurate ML models, and train models more efficiently, resulting in faster time to development and a future-proof infrastructure to relieve staffing issues and process inefficiencies across your hybrid cloud environments.
Protect your data across hybrid cloud
As ransomware continues to wreak havoc and businesses face disruptions of all kinds, it’s never been more critical to embrace resilience through hybrid cloud data protection. HPE and Zerto, available on AWS Marketplace, secure your data and safeguard privacy by offering end-to-end protection for AWS and on-prem workloads across the data lifecycle through enterprise-class disaster recovery, migrations, and cyber recovery solutions.
Keep the focus on what matters
HPE and AWS help you manage infrastructure, capacity changes, and applications so you can keep your IT staff focused on the innovation that drives your business forward.
