HPE introduces edge-to-cloud solutions that simplify hybrid IT

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced a family of edge-to-cloud solutions enabled by HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems to help organisations simplify hybrid IT environments. HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems are rugged, compact systems delivering immediate insight from data at the edge.

According to Gartner, digital business projects will lead to 75% of enterprise-generated data being created and processed outside the traditional, centralised data centre or cloud by 2022. In 2018, this percentage is less than 10%*.

To fully exploit the data and enable real-time action, organisations need to run enterprise-class applications close to the point where the data is created, at the edge. HPE’s new edge-to-cloud solutions operate unmodified enterprise software from partners Citrix, GE Digital, Microsoft, PTC, SAP and SparkCognition, both on HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems and on data centre and cloud platforms.

At the same time, edge-to-cloud solutions enabled by HPE Edgeline simplify the management of the hybrid IT environment, as the same application and management software can be used from edge to cloud. By running the same enterprise applications at the edge, in data centres and in the cloud, the solutions allow organisations to capitalise on the vast amounts of data created in remote and distributed locations like factories, oil rigs or energy grids.

“The edge is increasingly becoming a centrepiece of the digital enterprise, where things and people generate and act on massive amounts of data,” said Dr Tom Bradicich, VP and GM, IoT and Converged Edge Systems, HPE.

“Our edge-to-cloud solutions help bring enterprise-class IT capabilities from the data centre to the edge. This reduces software and IT administration costs, while accelerating insight and control across the organisation and supply chain.”

HPE also announced the HPE Edgeline Extended Storage Adapter option kit, adding up to 48 TB of software-defined storage to HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems. This enhancement enables storage-intensive use cases like artificial intelligence (AI), video analytics or databases at the edge, while leveraging storage management tools such as Microsoft Storage Spaces, HPE StoreVirtual VSA, and VMware vSAN.
 
Details:

The edge-to-cloud solutions enabled by HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems are available worldwide.  Solution pricing depends on size and complexity of the installation. The HPE Edgeline Extended Storage Adapter option kit will be available in September 2018, with US list prices starting at US$299.

  1. A public cloud computing solution is not the right fit for all customers and circumstances. For customers who desire the security and data sovereignty that can only be provided by a private cloud infrastructure. It is a secure, scalable, and hyper-converged on-premises Platform solution.
