Today, HPE announced new cloud services and innovations for HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform to help businesses accelerate and expand their digital transformation. Here are some of the highlights.
Enterprise leaders find themselves faced with some pressing questions:
- How do we ensure that digital transformation delivers real value – not just at some future point, but now?
- How can we bring our multi-generational IT landscape, with its overwhelming data gravity and mass of entanglements, into the hybrid cloud era?
- How do we extract value from the massive, rapidly increasing volumes of data?
- How can we free up data for its best use, wherever it’s located – whether that’s in the cloud, in the data center, in colocations, or, increasingly, at edge deployments?
The answer to all of these questions is the same: The HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform gives you all the convenience and flexibility of the public cloud with the privacy, performance and control of your own environment. It brings point-and-click simplicity to all of your apps and data, wherever they reside – in the data center, in colocations, and at the edge. The HPE GreenLake platform provides self-service agility, with the ability to view costs, track usage and manage capacity all from one intuitive platform. It’s pay-per-use, so you can avoid heavy upfront investments and long procurement delays. It’s easy to scale up or down as needed. And it’s managed for you, so you can focus on the next moves for your business.
Today, we announced a slate of new offerings and innovations for the HPE GreenLake platform that will provide even more help for companies’ digital transformation programs. You can read about them in our press release: HPE GreenLake Edge-to-Cloud Platform Delivers Greater Choice and Simplicity with Unified Experience, New Cloud Services, and Expanded Partner Ecosystem. Here’s how HPE’s President and CEO Antonio Neri summarized it: “In the hybrid cloud market, HPE GreenLake is unique in its simplicity, unification, depth of cloud services, and partner network. Today, we are furthering our differentiation, boldly setting HPE GreenLake even further apart as the ideal platform for customers to drive data-first modernization.”
