HPE Discover Announcements of Note

In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Futurum’s Shelly Kramer and Shelly Steven webcast cover announcements of note coming out of HPE’s HPE Discover event held this past week. Their conversation included analysis and insights about: HPE’s announcement of the company’s vertical optimization of its GreenLake cloud services, which are primarily focused on Financial Services, Healthcare, and Telecommunications. Key focal points of their conversation centered around the value of scalable solutions that can easily support business growth, and a shift to pay per subscriber and pay per use models, as well as the increasing importance of hybrid cloud solutions in the marketplace. The selection by Salomon Group, a French sports equipment manufacturer, of HPE GreenLake as a solution to not only modernize its IT infrastructure and drive business agility and resilience, but also as a step toward helping the company attain its impressive corporate sustainability goals in carbon emissions reductions. We also discussed the rise of environmental, social and corporate governance and how we see this as a competitive business advantage, for vendors who provide solutions to organizations who embrace ESG, moving forward. HPE’s launch of Project Aurora, its new zero-trust offering as a part of the GreenLake hybrid cloud platform, which we can expect to see later in 2021. Project Aurora will focus on helping enterprises address security from edge to cloud. HPE’s acquisition of Determined AI, which we see as a solid move by HPE to enhance its own HPC and AI capabilities, and speed ML training capabilities. The need to be able to quickly and easily train ML models to provide faster and more accurate insights is going to continue to increase and an incredibly rapid pace. Strategic acquisitions of this kind on the part of HPE add incremental value to its portfolio of offerings and, to our way of thinking, make perfect sense. Note that all of the content from HPE Discover is available on demand, and these were but a few of the announcements that we wanted to highlight. You’ll find access to the full event here. Last but not least, if you’ve not yet subscribed to the Futurum YouTube and Futurum Tech Podcast in those channels, take a moment and do that. You won’t be disappointed.
