HPE GreenLake for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI is a cloud service that allows users to run Windows and Linux virtual machines in a hybrid cloud environment, on-premises and at the edge, and leverages Microsoft Azure tools and services with a preconfigured, pay-per-use service from HPE GreenLake.
Keith White, General Manager, HPE GreenLake Cloud Services, said: “HPE GreenLake and Microsoft Azure offer enterprises a hybrid solution that provides the cloud experience wherever the customer needs it, while reducing costs and accommodating business growth so customers can fuel digital transformation.”
Microsoft Azure Stack HCI, a software-defined, unified system, combines all of the disparate and siloed elements of a traditional datacenter, decreasing datacenter complexity. The integrated solution is built on HPE GreenLake Lighthouse cloud-native infrastructure that incorporates compute, storage, and networking, to run Azure services on-premises.
Azure Stack HCI, delivered as a service from HPE GreenLake, enables businesses to transform their on-premises workloads by providing customers with a cloud experience and operating model for applications and workloads close to where the data lives, helping customers reduce costs, increase scalability and simplify management.
“This validated offering, delivered through HPE GreenLake, is important for our customers who require a cloud-like experience on-premises, and who want to be able to act on their data — edge to cloud,” said Roanne Sones, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Azure Edge + Platform.
In April 2022, with the onboarding of Aruba customers, HPE will add over 120,000 customers to the HPE GreenLake platform.
HPE GreenLake for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI as an integrated system will be available globally in May 2022.
