Bengaluru, NFAPost: It is a reality that Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and VMware have been at the leading-edge of driving digital transformations, working with more than 200,000 mutual customers for the past two decades.
Giving another dimension to their engagement, during the the VMware Explore 2022 Europe both the companies announced the next phase of this partnership with HPE GreenLake for VMware. This announcement is expected to bring together HPE GreenLake and VMware Cloud to deliver a fully integrated solution with a simple pay-as-you-go hybrid cloud consumption model.
Commenting on the partnership, HPE President and Chief Executive Officer Antonio Neri said today’s announcement with VMware represents the next step in the expanding partner ecosystem of HPE GreenLake, which offers a differentiated edge-to-cloud solution that resonates with customers and partners.
“Together, HPE and VMware will give organizations greater choice and flexibility with a fully integrated hybrid cloud offering designed to accelerate innovation and data first modernization,” said HPE President and Chief Executive Officer Antonio Neri.
VMware Chief Executive Officer Raghu Raghuram said organisations are looking to evolve from a state of cloud chaos where cost and complexity reign, to a more cloud smart approach.
““VMware Cloud is the trusted platform for enterprise workloads on private and public clouds that gives customers the flexibility and choice to become cloud smart. VMware and HPE will enable customers to combine VMware’s state-of-the-art multi-cloud software with HPE GreenLake’s cloud operating model and consumption economics to support any workload on a modern hybrid cloud,” said VMware Chief Executive Officer Raghu Raghuram.
HPE GreenLake for VMware will provide customers with a fully integrated and modern hybrid cloud experience. Customers will benefit from a true cloud experience coupled with the benefit of purchasing only the amount of infrastructure they require through a pay-as-you-go cloud consumption model. Customers will also have the flexibility to determine the best environment for operating their hybrid cloud.
VMware Cloud can be fully integrated across the HPE GreenLake portfolio including HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise and customers will be able to deploy on-premises, in colocation facilities or at the edge, all managed by HPE GreenLake.
The HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform provides customers and partners with a unified experience, and easy access to more than 70 cloud services. Today, HPE GreenLake supports more than 120,000 users, powers more than two million connected devices, and manages more than one exabyte of data with customers worldwide. Among the top 100 HPE customers, nearly 80% have already adopted the HPE GreenLake platform. Organizations benefit from one platform from which to automate, orchestrate, and run their hybrid cloud strategy.
VMware Cloud delivers a modern multi-cloud infrastructure on any cloud, with built-in Kubernetes, integrated security and the best possible TCO. VMware Cloud makes modern application development and deployment faster, easier, and less expensive by making Kubernetes part of the core infrastructure platform.
VMware Cloud is more secure by design, enabling micro-segmentation to stop modern lateral threats that move within and across cloud and data center environments. HPE GreenLake customers will be able to extend VMware Cloud environments to a variety of colocation and edge environments, bringing cloud capacity to the places where distributed applications need it most.
