[ComputeExperts]

Together, HPE Synergy software-defined composable infrastructure and HPE GreenLake cloud services deliver an on-premises, cost effective, and agile as-a-service IT solution for almost any business workload.

HPE GreenLake with HPE Synergy is the evolution of IT, optimizing workloads in a pay-per-use model. You can run almost any business workload with a cloud-like experience and on-premises control. And that translates to impressive outcomes such as:

• Customers get to market 75% faster, while saving 40% on IT resources.¹
• Customers experience 85% less unplanned downtime.²

A recent Porsche Informatik case study shows this unique solution in action. The IT services provider is part of a remarkable automotive brand, one that has captured imaginations worldwide for nearly 90 years. But when it comes to IT, the company is facing the same challenges other customers have been telling us about lately. It wants freedom to focus on business—without having to wait for IT, manage IT, fix IT, or overspend on IT.

“In today’s automotive industry, one thing counts above all else: being fast and agile,” says Gerald Nezerka, virtualization and storage team leader at Porsche Informatik. “Now, everything is running noticeably faster and more smoothly—and the employees feel this too,” confirms Johannes Strasser, virtualization architect.

“With HPE Synergy and HPE GreenLake, we have laid the foundation for a software-defined data center. Whatever the future holds—we are ready.” — Gerald Nezerka, team lead, virtualization and storage, Porsche Informatik
