HPE GreenLake Edge-to-Cloud Platform powers data modernization with breakthrough analytics and data protection cloud services. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has launched a slew of new cloud services for its HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, giving clients unrivalled capabilities to fuel digital transformation for their apps and data. HPE is now a player in two huge, fast-growing software markets: unified analytics and data security. With an open and modern platform that enables a cloud experience everywhere, these advancements accelerate HPE’s shift to a cloud services company and give clients more choice and freedom for their business and IT strategy. The new services, which are part of an expanding array of HPE GreenLake cloud services, enable clients to develop more quickly and at reduced costs. They include:
“The big data and analytics software market, which IDC predicts will reach $110 billion by 2023, is ripe for disruption,as customers seek a hybrid solution for enterprise datasets on-premises and at the edge,” said Antonio Neri, president and CEO, at HPE.
He explained, “Data is at the heart of every modernization initiative in every industry, and yet organizations have been forced to settle for legacy analytics platforms that lack cloud-native capabilities, or force complex migrations to the public cloud that require customers to adapt new processes and risk vendor lock-in. The new HPE GreenLake cloud services for analytics empower customers to overcome these trade-offs and gives them one platform to unify and modernize data everywhere. Together with the new HPE GreenLake cloud services for data protection, HPE provides customers with an unparalleled platform to protect, secure, and capitalize on the full value of their data, from edge to cloud.”
HPE GreenLake, the company’s edge-to-cloud product, is gaining traction. The HPE GreenLake platform currently has over 1,200 clients and a combined contract value of $5.2 billion. In HPE’s most recent quarter, Q3 2021, the company’s Annualized Revenue Run Rate increased by 33% year over year, with as-a-service orders increasing by 46% year over year. HPE recently secured wins with Woolworths Group, Australia and New Zealand’s largest retailer, and the US National Security Agency for its HPE GreenLake platform.
Customers may use HPE GreenLake for analytics to accelerate data modernisation projects from the edge to the cloud. The new cloud services are meant to be cloud-native and prevent complex data migrations to the public cloud by providing an elastic, unified analytics platform for data and applications on-premises, at the edge, and in public clouds, and are available on the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform. On-premises, analytics and data science teams may now use the industry’s first2 cloud-native solution to expand Apache Spark lakehouses and accelerate AI and ML workflows. The following are some of the new HPE GreenLake cloud services:
