Today’s business objectives (scale, growth, deploying new technologies), all center on speed. When Ana PinczukSVP and GM of HPE Pointnext, was asked in a recent interview how she would explain the explosive growth of “as-a-service” IT models, this was her answer:
“Speed. The business is pushing IT to provide everything they want and need – real time analytics, advanced apps, rapid scalability – and as quickly as possible. They can get that from the cloud, but can’t afford to give up the control they get with on-premises IT. So, the perfect balance is a consumption-based, as-a-service model that accelerates business value, frees up capital and simplifies day-to-day operations on-premises.”
Ana will be talking about this consumption model and much more at HPE Discover 2018 Las Vegas, coming up June 19–21. Here are thumbnail descriptions of her sessions, plus a few more that will appeal to anyone looking for ways to build faster, more agile IT (these are just a sampler of the many ways to learn more about HPE Pointnext at HPE Discover; you can find the compete Discover catalog here
