HPE comes up with more cloudy options

HPE has spruced up its GreenLake as-a-service portfolio with an option for customers wanting a private cloud environment.

Dubbed GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise, HPE says that the product will give users the same container run-times they would gain if they chose public cloud and support for those customers looking for DevOps environments.

The vendor has continued to expand the ecosystem for GreenLake and has added support for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform just a few weeks after it cut the ribbon on HPE GreenLake for VMware.

HPE CEO Antonio Neri said its partners had played a significant role in getting behind its GreenLake as-a-service portfolio.

“Our partners are also seeing the relevance of HPE GreenLake with our customers. Partners booked more HPE GreenLake orders during the fourth quarter than ever before, extending their streak of orders growth to 22 consecutive quarters. During the fourth quarter, we also saw a greater share of partners booking multiple HPE GreenLake deals.”

HPE claims to support more than 65,000 customers, more than two million connected devices and manage more than 1EB (exabyte) of data with customers worldwide.

The addition of private cloud support covers off another option for customers that want to have an alternative to public approaches.
