Transforming digital journeys: The role of integrated cloud and AI in modern business

With the combined forces of cloud computing and artificial intelligence revolutionizing digital transformations, tech giants such as Microsoft Corp. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. are now focusing on integrated cloud and AI solutions to enhance enterprise infrastructure. This collaboration aims to accelerate transformation journeys by fully unlocking the power of data, providing businesses with cohesive and data-heavy solutions that bring unprecedented agility and insight.

Dion Ubert, global adaptive cloud and AI sales director at Microsoft Corp., speaks with theCUBE during HPE Discover 2024 about integrated cloud and AI solutions.

Microsoft’s Dion Ubert talks with theCUBE about integrated cloud and AI solutions.

“We at Microsoft came up with a new strategy, what we call the adaptive cloud. And adaptive cloud is a cloud that adapts to the circumstances of our customers to run Azure anywhere and everywhere with our primary and secondary workloads,” said Dion Ubert (pictured), global adaptive cloud and AI sales director at Microsoft. “That’s a huge difference in the market compared to those other solutions out there. And so when you think about this, we really co-engineered together with HPE and platform that really brings the cloud to the customer instead of the customer to the cloud with this strategy.”

Ubert spoke with theCUBE Research’s Dave Vellante and Rebecca Knight at HPE Discover, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how HPE and Microsoft are bringing the cloud to customers, the importance of hybrid cloud and revolutionizing edge computing. (* Disclosure below.)

Transforming the process with integrated cloud and AI solutions

With data stacks at companies more cohesive than ever, many leaders are wondering how to take this data and fit it into their hybrid cloud infrastructures. Microsoft Fabric, an end-to-end analytics data platform, is one answer to this question.

“You can pull that through now with Arc-enabled services to run it on top of HPE hardware and utilizing the local data to be analyzed and create an end-to-end from cloud to action, from Azure to cloud point of view on what your data is saying, what are the key trends are in that space,” Ubert said.

Microsoft and HPE are continuing to innovate together, focusing on edge computing as a promising landscape for the future. Both see this area as fertile ground for significant advancements.

“We are bringing all kinds of form factors together that run on our software. That’s part of our adaptive cloud where we adapt to the circumstances of our customers to run Azure anywhere and everywhere because we believe that the world is hybrid,” Ubert said.
