HPE announces expansion of composable initiative to Cloud and Hyperconverged Solutions

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has announced expansion of its composable initiative with the addition of a new hybrid cloud offering and technology extensions to HPE hyperconverged systems. By extending HPE Synergy’s fully programmable infrastructure to HPE’s multi-cloud platform and through software enhancements to the HPE Hyper Converged 380, HPE is enabling IT operators to deliver software-defined infrastructure as quickly as customers’ businesses demand.

The new solutions include:

HPE Synergy with HPE Helion CloudSystem 10 brings full composability across compute, storage and fabric to HPE’s OpenStack technology-based hybrid cloud platform to enable customers to run bare metal, virtualized, containerized and cloud-native applications on a single infrastructure and dynamically compose and recompose resources for unmatched agility and efficiency.

HPE Hyper Converged Operating Environment software update leverages composable technologies to deliver new capabilities to the HPE Hyper Converged 380, including new workspace controls that allow IT managers to compose and recompose virtualized resources for different lines of business, making it easier and more efficient for IT to act as an internal service provider to their organization.

“Customers’ business needs can change quite rapidly, and they need an infrastructure platform that can support that rapid change,” said Vikram K, Director, Datacenter and Hybrid Cloud, Hewlett Packard Enterprise India. “With HPE Synergy, we delivered a new class of infrastructure providing the speed, efficiency and flexibility of the public cloud on-premises, so IT can focus on being an internal service provider instead of maintaining infrastructure. Now we’re extending composable infrastructure to our cloud and hyper-converged offerings, making hybrid IT simple for customers.”

Today’s enterprise developers are increasingly building new, cloud native applications using more agile microservices and containers. At the same time, they are transforming traditional applications to “as-a-service” models, requiring an infrastructure that can support both operating environments. HPE Synergy delivers the industry’s first composable infrastructure platform, treating infrastructure as code, enabling developers to accelerate application delivery. HPE Synergy has nearly 100 early access customers that have successfully implemented it across a variety of industries, and is now broadly available for order in all regions.

HPE Synergy with HPE Helion CloudSystem 10 gives organizations the ability to operate a single IT environment on-premises that supports both traditional applications and cloud-native applications. With HPE Helion CloudSystem 10, IT operators now have the ability to compose resources in minutes, making it easier for enterprises to migrate from traditional to hybrid IT. Through better management automation and improved infrastructure utilization customers can deliver more effective cloud services at lower cost.

HPE Synergy and HPE Helion CloudSystem 10 both incorporate HPE OneView, HPE’s infrastructure automation management software, providing the ability to discover, manage and designate infrastructure resources using a single, unified interface. This enables more efficient infrastructure utilization by empowering IT to target the right infrastructure for the right workloads, accelerating development cycles while maintaining control and compliance.

HPE Synergy with HPE Helion CloudSystem 10 will be available from HPE and channel and distribution partners in the first quarter of calendar year 2017.

The HPE Hyper Converged Operating Environment software update introduces new composable management capabilities to the HPE Hyper Converged 380, HPE’s all-in-one software-defined virtualization solution. The enhancements enable IT operators to become an internal service provider to their organization’s different lines of business, delivering virtualized applications with cloud efficiency.

The update will be available to HPE Hyper Converged 380 customers in the first quarter of calendar year 2017.
