HPE announces new advancements to its HPE GreenLake Cloud

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has announced key advancements on the HPE GreenLake cloud that simplify management across complex, heterogenous hybrid IT environments and enable customers to increase agility and innovation.

• HPE VM Essentials (VME) Software: HPE VM Essentials is a unified VM management experience that provides customers with choice and flexibility for managing their virtualized workloads across hybrid environments. The new solution simplifies management by integrating existing virtualized workloads with the new HPE VME hypervisor. HPE VM Essentials supports leading storage protocols, distributed workload placement, high availability, live migration and integrated data protection. By modernizing with HPE GreenLake cloud and HPE VM Essentials, enterprises can save up to 5x TCO.

• HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000: New object storage offers exceptional performance and massive scalability, enabling enterprises to store and retrieve data faster. The X10000 is designed for exabyte scale and achieves up to 6x faster performance versus the competition. HPE’s differentiated multi-protocol (MP) disaggregated architecture for block, file and object storage, simplifies fleet management across hybrid environments and saves customers up to 40%.

• New solutions for organizations in regulated environments: HPE will introduce disconnected management for its private cloud and block storage offering, enabling a cloud experience at sites that cannot have an internet connection. Qualified partners will also be able to deliver sovereign private cloud solutions powered by HPE GreenLake.

• HPE Private Cloud AI, co-developed with NVIDIA, expands partner ecosystem and supported use cases: HPE has added six new partners to the Unleash AI program to accelerate time to market with solutions for specialized AI use cases. In addition, Deloitte has expanded its collaboration with HPE and will deploy its AI solutions such as C-Suite AI with HPE Private Cloud AI.

“To realize the full potential of hybrid cloud and AI, enterprises need a hybrid-by-design approach,” said Fidelma Russo, executive vice president and general manager, Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE. “Today, we are proud to announce the most complete HPE GreenLake portfolio to date. With these new offerings, HPE GreenLake cloud delivers a future-proof cloud operating model for virtualized, cloud-native and AI workloads.”

 The recent acquisition of Morpheus Data enables HPE GreenLake cloud to further unify and simplify IT operations for customers. HPE VM Essentials is the first step in utilizing Morpheus across the HPE portfolio. Customers have the flexibility to manage existing virtualized workloads or re-platform to the HPE VME hypervisor, while experiencing a simple VM-vending experience across both stacks. 

HPE VM Essentials is backed by HPE’s global support network and ecosystem of independent software vendors. Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, and Commvault, a leader in cyber resilience and data protection solutions for the hybrid cloud, intend to support HPE VM Essentials, providing VM backup and recovery services.
