New HPE GreenLake cloud services power application modernization for critical workloads and industry solutions

Today, at HPE Discover 2021, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced new vertically optimized HPE GreenLake cloud services designed to deliver the cloud experience for the applications and workloads that organizations rely on to run their businesses. Available as cloud services on premises, at the edge or in colocation centers, these services include managing electronic medical records, financial payments, risk management, Machine Learning Operations, SAP, Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft SQL server, 5G Core for Telco, Epic, Splunk and more. The industry-leading HPE GreenLake edge to cloud platform offers hybrid cloud services that are designed, optimized, and delivered for critical industry vertical and horizontal workloads.

Businesses of all sizes, in every industry, now operate in a hybrid, edge to cloud world. Organizations recognize that many applications and workloads must remain on premises or at the edge, due to cost, compliance, control, latency, and security concerns, and expect the same agile and modern experience in the data center as they have in the public cloud. Data-intensive and highly regulated applications such as electronic medical records, financial payments and machine learning / AI operations often require that these applications are processed on-premises or at the edge.

“For the industry-critical workloads that power their business, organizations shouldn’t have to choose between the cloud experience, or the security and control of keeping their apps and data on premises,” said Keith White, senior vice president and general manager of HPE GreenLake Cloud Services. “From enabling secure payments around the globe to delivering quality patient care in hospitals, businesses can’t compromise performance and resiliency. That’s why we are the industry leader in offering workload-specific solutions that deliver the cloud experience customers want without the cost, risks, and complexity associated with the public cloud.”

The HPE GreenLake cloud platform enables organizations to combine agility and flexibility with the control, visibility, and performance of a hybrid environment. Today, HPE is significantly expanding the scope of workloads and applications supported by HPE GreenLake, with new cloud services for a range of industry-specific software suites, and business critical applications like SAP and Splunk.

Healthcare

HPE is introducing HPE GreenLake for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) for the most critical healthcare workloads that demand the utmost security and compliance – for market leading Epic applications. This new cloud service brings validated configurations, management services, and the cloud experience for flexibility, and optimized for quality delivery. Today, hundreds of healthcare networks, hospital systems, and insurance companies rely on the HPE GreenLake cloud platform to improve agility, operational efficiency, and overall patient outcomes.

Financial Services

For organizations looking for ways to modernize their payment system experience, HPE is introducing HPE GreenLake for Core Payment Systems in partnership with Lusis. With this solution, customers benefit from complete payment solutions, pay per transaction, a platform that supports contactless payments, and easy to maintain compliance – all with the cloud experience. This builds on the momentum and market footprint for the HPE GreenLake cloud platform which today serves hundreds of banks and financial institutions around the world.

“Partnering with HPE has been a critical part of our growth and success as we expand into international markets,” said Philippe Préval, President and CEO, Lusis. “And today, four of the ten biggest banks in the world are using Lusis payment systems. As more of our clients seek out cloud features and services on demand, HPE GreenLake allows us to offer them our world-class payment solution, delivered as a service, wherever their apps and data reside.”

Risk Management

HPE GreenLake for Splunk makes it simple to collect, analyze, and act upon the data generated by an organization’s technology infrastructure, security systems, and business applications. Most organizations have too much data to analyze, leading to blind spots. HPE GreenLake for Splunk gives customers the insights to drive operational performance and minimize compliance risk. The new cloud services provide customers with visibility across their entire hybrid estate, with scalable risk analysis to track and analyze data in real-time.

The offering also leverages the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform as a key part of this solution. Recently, HPE Ezmeral became one of the first solutions to execute Splunk’s test and validation processes on Kubernetes and the only on-premises partner tested and certified platform.

Telecommunications

By deploying the HPE 5G Core Stack with HPE GreenLake for 5G core, carriers get a purpose-built, open, cloud-native 5G core with minimal up-front investment. The solution scales according to demand and is ready to support changes in demand and business growth. Using HPE Telco Core Blueprints, and HPE 5G Core Stack software, HPE GreenLake simplifies and accelerates time to value for customers. Customers can pay per subscriber, which helps accelerate 5G implementation and reduce risk.

Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft SQL server

HPE GreenLake for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft SQL Server allows joint customers to consolidate virtualized Windows and Linux workloads for efficiency, and run production workloads using a familiar, hybrid environment. These cloud services complement HPE’s broad portfolio of hyperconverged infrastructure offerings now available via HPE GreenLake, including HPE SimpliVity and HPE Nimble Storage, providing customers with choice and flexibility in selecting the right HCI solution for the right workload.
