Former maker of expensive printer ink HPE has promised to offer its entire product portfolio as a service by 2022.
The vendor said the move is part of its “transition into an as-a-service company”, in a move which will let customers buy on a consumption basis through its GreenLake offering.
HPE CEO Antonio Neri said that the move was a dramatic reshaping of the HPE business: “Everyone recognises that customers want technology delivered as a Service, but they also want it on their terms. HPE’s unique approach to as-a-service, which empowers customers with choice, flexibility, and control, is driving HPE GreenLake’s tremendous success.”
He said the company was investing aggressively in this opportunity, to capitalise on our market leadership, leverage our world-class channel and partner ecosystem, and deliver our entire portfolio, from edge to cloud, under the HPE GreenLake portfolio. “As a result, we will reshape HPE and transform the market, with a new and better way to deliver as a service.”
