Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has launched a private cloud portfolio that aims to transform the way enterprises modernise their hybrid IT environments.
The new suite is designed to deliver cloud-native agility, robust security and seamless scalability within enterprise data centres, effectively bringing the cloud experience to on-premises infrastructure. The move is in reponse to the growing demand among organisations for the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud, combined with the control and performance offered by private infrastructure.
“Enterprises are at a pivotal moment in IT modernization where they must address escalating management complexity and increasing virtualisation costs to free investments for core growth areas. HPE is giving customers the choice, simplicity and cost efficiencies to outpace the competition and re-invest in innovation,” said Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE.
The new HPE private cloud portfolio addresses this need by enabling seamless workload migration and management, underpinned by advanced automation and AI-driven operations. These capabilities promise to simplify infrastructure management, proactively resolve issues and optimise performance to allow IT teams to focus on innovation rather than routine maintenance.
Security and compliance remain top priorities for enterprises, especially in sectors with stringent regulatory requirements. HPE’s latest offering integrates sophisticated security features to help enterprises protect sensitive data and meet compliance standards.
Additionally, the portfolio introduces flexible consumption models, including pay-as-you-go and subscription-based options to give enterprises the ability to align IT spending with actual usage and business needs.
The launch comes amid a wave of innovation in the hybrid cloud space, as organisations across Asia-Pacific and beyond accelerate their digital transformation journeys.
Recent industry developments, such as Broadcom’s updates to VMware Cloud Foundation, Equinix’s managed private cloud service for AI supercomputing, and Hitachi Vantara’s restructuring to focus on hybrid cloud and generative AI, highlight the industry’s shift towards more flexible, secure, and AI-powered private cloud solutions.
The University of Canberra’s adoption of Nutanix’s private cloud platform is an example that demonstrates the cost savings and support for advanced workloads that private cloud infrastructure can deliver.
HPE’s strategic push is further strengthened by its ongoing collaboration with NVIDIA to drive enterprise adoption of generative AI, positioning the company at the forefront of both private cloud and AI infrastructure markets.
