Read MoreHide Full Article

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE - Free Report) recently announced that the UK’s leading electrical wholesale supplier — City Electrical Factors (“CEF”) — has selected HPE’s edge-to-cloud platform, GreenLake, to accelerate its digital transformation journey.

The HPE GreenLake platform will help CEF optimize its IT infrastructure management and improve security using the disaster recovery capabilities of Zerto. GreenLake implementation will help the UK’s electrical wholesale supplier improve scalability and flexibility across IT and accelerate its cloud journey in additional regions.

HPE’s GreenLake solution offers customers better visibility into resource utilization across co-located and public cloud-based workloads. The services ensure the administration of applications and data. Additionally, HPE’s GreenLake service suite provides customers with an agile, flexible, pay-per-use cloud experience, thereby eliminating the need for any major upfront capital investment.

HPE’s GreenLake platform continues to win back-to-back deals. In September 2022, the leading French healthcare software provider, Maincare, adopted HPE GreenLake to power its highly secure cloud offering, Maincare Hosting Services.

In August, Steel Authority of India Limited, India’s largest steel producer, selected the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform for its Bokaro steel plant to modernize its critical SAP environment, accelerate its digital transformation agenda and reduce its environmental footprint.

In July, one of the leading cloud service providers in France, AntemetA, selected HPE GreenLake for Disaster Recovery. It is a new cloud-native data solution that protects data from the edge to the cloud to build a manageable, flexible and highly secure private hosting infrastructure to support strategic workloads and drive new business growth.

Hewlett Packard views AI, Industrial IoT and distributed computing as the next major markets. In 2018, the company decided to invest $4 billion through 2022 to enhance its capabilities across the aforementioned space and linked these businesses to its fast-growing networking business, Aruba Networks.

The company has been benefiting from strong executions in clearing backlogs, an improved supply chain and increased customer acceptance. Hewlett Packard’s efforts to shift its focus to higher-margin offerings like Intelligent Edge and Aruba Central Hyperconverged Infrastructure are aiding its bottom line.
