HPE expands GreenLake with new cloud services, SaaS offerings and private cloud options

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. said today it’s massively expanding the capabilities of its HPE Greenlake edge-to-cloud platform, integrating software from OpsRamp Inc., the infrastructure monitoring startup it acquired earlier this year.

It’s also adding new software-as-a-service offerings for backup and machine learning, expanding the HPE Greenlake private cloud portfolio, and extending its partnerships with Amazon Web Services Inc. and Equinix Inc.

The announcements came at HPE Discover today in Las Vegas. HPE GreenLake is HPE’s flagship offering for enterprises, comprising a portfolio of hardware and software products that’s available to enterprises on a pay-as-you-go basis. With GreenLake, the system is delivered and managed by HPE, with consumption-based charges, meaning customers only pay for the compute and storage they use.

HPE Chief Executive Antonio Neri said GreenLake encompasses the company’s strategy to deliver everything it does as a service, helping customers combine a modern cloud experience with the control, governance, performance and predictability of hybrid cloud. “HPE GreenLake has led the way in this new category, and today we are extending our leadership by expanding the reach, choice and capabilities of our hybrid and private cloud offerings,” he said.

HPE acquired OpsRamp in March and it has wasted no time in integrating that company’s capabilities into GreenLake. By adding software from OpsRamp on a SaaS basis, customers can access full-stack observability and automation of assets and applications across heterogeneous, multicloud environments, HPE said. A second benefit of OpsRamp is it enhances HPE’s recently announced sustainability dashboard, providing greater visibility into information technology assets across multicloud estates.

In addition to the OpsRamp integration, HPE is expanding its existing range of hybrid cloud services and software-as-a-service offerings. For instance, it now offers the HPE NonStop Development Environment as an Amazon Machine Image, and HPE Fraud Risk Management as a SaaS offering in the AWS Marketplace.

HPE GreenLake for Backup and Recovery, which enables cost-effective and long-term data retention, has been expanded to cover on-premises and cloud databases managed by Microsoft SQL Server and Amazon Relational Database Service. HPE’s Machine Learning Development Environment, which provides optimized artificial intelligence infrastructure and machine learning software via HPE GreenLake, is now available on HPE GreenLake for High Performance Computing.

In another announcement, HPE said its expanding GreenLake’s portfolio of private cloud offerings, which provide everything enterprises need to spin up their own private clouds. The newest offering in that portfolio is HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Business Edition, which enables customers to spin up virtual machines across hybrid clouds on demand and self-manage those clouds with AIOps simplicity.

Meanwhile, the existing HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise offering has been expanded to address edge use cases, gaining the ability to connect to thousands of distributed IT locations, where HPE said it can provide managed services for cloud-native and traditional applications. The offering will also add support for Red Hat OpenShift in the coming weeks, as well as new multicloud capabilities that will make it possible to self-provision workloads with AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and VMware vSphere.

HPE’s long-running partnership with VMware has been deepened further with the introduction of expanded capabilities for HPE GreenLake for VMware Cloud Foundation. The offering now provides preconfigured and tested cloud modules, optimized for VMware Cloud Foundation, in addition to software licenses, installation and ongoing management services. By managing VMware Cloud Foundation through HPE GreenLake, enterprises can shift resources more easily to meet changing business demands, while avoiding overprovisioning, HPE said.

Finally, HPE said its expanded private cloud portfolio will be pre-provisioned across multiple Equinix data centers around the world, giving customers more flexibility over where to deploy their private clouds.
