HPE integrates AI to further its hybrid cloud strategy
HPE on Monday has announced more upgrades to its hybrid cloud strategy. These updates include extending AI-driven operations and composability across its portfolio, adding new workload-optimized infrastructure, and expanding choice of clouds through new partnerships with Google Cloud and Equinix.
“HPE has been at the forefront of this new data paradigm,” said Rajesh Dhar, Senior Director, Hybrid IT, HPE India. “To scale and grow without bounds, HPE provides the hybrid cloud path for customers with advanced analytics and machine learning that removes the burden of managing infrastructure, enables digital transformation, and accelerates growth. Together, automation and composability can support business objectives, increase efficiency, and enable organizations to be more competitive.”
HPE introduced composable infrastructure three years ago and has achieved tremendous growth with its flagship HPE Synergy offering—with 78% year-over-year growth and over 3,000 customers. HPE composable infrastructure uniquely provides a consistent operating model for virtualized, containerized, and bare-metal applications, to enable customers to compose fluid pools of compute, storage and networking with their choice of software stacks.
Customers using HPE Synergy benefit from -
· 25% lower IT infrastructure costs by eliminating over-provisioning and stranded capacity
· 71% less staff time per server deployment and 30% higher application team productivity by increasing operational efficiency and rapid deployment of IT resources
· 60% more efficient IT infrastructure teams by reducing complexity and manual tasks
Today, HPE is extending its composable strategy to enable IT organizations to transform existing HPE ProLiant DL 360/380/560 Gen10 rack-based servers into composable infrastructure to deliver automated deployment, scale, and management for any workload. HPE’s enhanced Composable Cloud solution, built on HPE OneView IT infrastructure management and HPE Composable Fabric networking solution, will enable existing and new HPE ProLiant DL customers to quickly deploy and scale workloads across a composable rack environment, and support their choice of cloud, virtualization, or container stacks.
This allows customers to protect their investment in their infrastructure platforms.
In addition to providing customers the ability to deploy their choice of HPE physical storage or VMware vSAN software-defined storage, HPE’s composable portfolio now supports HPE SimpliVity hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI). With HPE SimpliVity, customers can deploy a pool of HCI nodes alone or alongside other storage, benefiting from HPE SimpliVity’s always-on deduplication and compression that drives capacity and bandwidth efficiency, and built-in backup/recovery and disaster recovery.
Enhancing and expanding HCI
HPE SimpliVity is the innovative hyper-converged infrastructure platform for data center virtualization and edge workloads, with rapid 105.3% year-over-year growth[2]. Today, HPE is enhancing its premier HPE SimpliVity HCI offering, as well as extending a hyper-converged experience to a converged architecture.
HPE is integrating HPE InfoSight AI operations into HPE SimpliVity to simplify virtual machine management and free IT staff to focus on innovation. Together, HPE SimpliVity and HPE InfoSight, the industry’s most advanced AI for infrastructure, provides customers with global visibility into detailed system, performance, and capacity utilization—enabling predictive data analytics and recommendations for system and performance optimization.
For organizations with demanding applications, such as business-critical database and data warehouse applications, HPE is introducing HPE Nimble Storage dHCI, a disaggregated hyper-converged infrastructure (dHCI) platform that brings the simplicity of hyper-converged with the flexibility of a converged system. The new solution integrates hyper-converged control with the self-managing experience of HPE Nimble Storage and the world’s best-selling server, HPE ProLiant.
As part of an ongoing collaboration between HPE and Equinix, customers using Equinix data center facilities who are seeking cloud-based test and development, backup and recovery, or disaster recovery capabilities, will be able to transact in the Equinix Marketplace to get Data as a Service based on HPE Cloud Volumes. HPE Cloud Volumes will be available over high-speed connectivity to compute in Equinix data centers.
