For more than two decades,
Hewlett Packard Enterprise and VMware, Inc. have been at the leading-edge
of driving digital transformations, working with more than 200,000
mutual customers. Today at
VMware Explore 2022 Europe,
the companies announced the next phase of this partnership with HPE
GreenLake for VMware, bringing together HPE GreenLake and VMware Cloud
to deliver a fully integrated solution with a simple pay-as-you-go
hybrid cloud consumption model.
"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," said Antonio Neri, president and chief executive officer,
HPE. "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."
"Organizations are looking to evolve from a state of cloud chaos where
cost and complexity reign, to a more cloud smart approach," said Raghu
Raghuram, chief executive officer at VMware. "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."
Modern Hybrid Cloud Made Fast and Simple
Many organizations today seek the simplicity of a turnkey hybrid
cloud that integrates leading software, infrastructure, and services
from the vendors of their choice, all delivered from a single strategic
partner as a cloud service. This approach accelerates deployment and
simplifies operational complexity to enable customers to quickly deploy
their hybrid cloud.
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 percent 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.
Hybrid Cloud Delivered by Trusted Leaders in Enterprise Innovation
With a history of co-engineered solutions, customers can be
confident deploying an enterprise hybrid cloud designed, managed, and
supported by HPE and VMware. HPE and VMware share the industry's largest
virtualized server footprint, and collectively have more than 100,000+
global partners and 25,000+ solution experts. As joint collaboration
partners within the expanding HPE GreenLake ecosystem, HPE and VMware
will continue to accelerate the pace of co-innovation, such as
industry-first support for VMware vSphere on DPUs.
