WHY WAS HPE GREENLAKE DEVELOPED?

The first wave of digital transformation was driven by the public cloud. We saw a surge of new business models, online experiences and operational efficiencies—all underpinned by increased speed, agility, scale and simplified IT. But the public cloud is not for everyone and everything. Even today, up to 70% of an enterprise’s mission-critical applications simply cannot move to the public cloud. Instead, they languish and fall ever further from the cutting-edge. Meanwhile, there is an explosion at the edge, combined with a rise in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), that is creating even more data and insights. Data gravity, latency and application dependencies mean we need to bring cloud services to this data—not the other way round.

Introducing HPE GreenLake

Daisy’s hybrid cloud solutions and management options have always worked to bridge the gap between on-site infrastructure and cloud. With HPE GreenLake we round out our hybrid cloud portfolio with the ability to bring cloud-like consumption and abilities to your data and apps, wherever they are, including on-site. HPE GreenLake is the only digital transformation accelerator that provides customers with one platform that brings the cloud experience to apps and data where they must live—production ready, flexible and elastic, with simpler IT.

HPE GreenLake, brought to you by Daisy, is the cloud that comes to you. Bring the cloud experience to all your apps and data on your terms—across your clouds, edges, colocations, and data centres.

What are your challenges?

HPE GreenLake

We hear our customers ask for agility so IT can be ready for new business initiatives. For simpler IT to free up valuable people from “keep the lights on” work so they can spend more time innovating. Lower IT costs that are aligned to business benefits and not linked to capital budgets. And proper control over performance, security, compliance and their data.

We know you will no longer accept moving to the cloud to reduce on-site costs and overhead when it comes at the price of losing control over your operations and data protection.

The answer is the transformative power of cloud-like consumption, everywhere you need it.
