Omri Gazitt, VP of Products and Services, HP Helion, at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE), says that “every” CEO the company talks to has twin imperatives to do things faster and more efficiently.

On the heels of HPE’s announcement of significant updates to its Helion Cloud Portfolio, Gazitt and Mark Interrante, SVP of Engineering for HPE Helion, laid out their seven drivers that represent an “order of magnitude” in improvement over traditional IT in both agility and efficiency.

Gazitt and Interrante spoke with Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and John Furrier (@furrier), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE media team, during HPE Discover 2016. During the interview Gazitt and Interrante outlined the seven drivers:

1. Self-service. “Being able to have unit storage at your fingertips and provision VMs in minutes as opposed to waiting weeks,” explained Gazitt.
2. Automated infrastructure.
3. CICD and DevOps. “To streamline the pipeline going from build to deployment,” Gazitt said.
4. Microservices and containers.
5. Consumption-based pricing. Pay for only what you use.
6. Utility computing. “Systems such as OpenStack allow you to take hundreds of nodes and treat them like one big computer,” Gazitt said.
7. Standardized nonhardware. Think HPE Synergy.
