OpsRamp integration with HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform and sustainability dashboard

The HPE GreenLake platform provides customers and partners with a unified experience to simplify hybrid and multi-cloud IT operations and easily access cloud services. Organizations benefit from a single control plane from which to automate, orchestrate, and run their hybrid cloud.

Additionally, OpsRamp advances the capabilities of the recently announced sustainability dashboard, by providing visibility into IT assets and applications across multi-vendor and multi-cloud estates. The sustainability dashboard is now available in early access mode on the HPE GreenLake platform today.

HPE also offers OpsRamp services and consulting through HPE Complete Care Service and HPE GreenLake Managed Service.

Expanded HPE GreenLake portfolio of modern private cloud offerings and partner ecosystem

Today, organizations demand greater visibility, control, and predictability of their workloads and data at the edge, on-premises and in the public cloud. As a result, organizations are increasingly turning to private cloud offerings to modernize and digitally transform.

A new report from Constellation Research found that organizations that moved to a private cloud model experienced 50% in cost savings, up to 65% in increased performance on private cloud workloads, and two times faster IT and development cycle times in hybrid environments.¹   The Constellation Research study is based on input from senior IT leadership in corporations across North America and is consistent with the momentum behind HPE GreenLake.

Since the release of HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise last June, HPE continues to invest to give  customers more choice with the expansion of its portfolio of private cloud offerings, to provide customers a simple, flexible, and intuitive experience for running modern private clouds. 

• HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Business Edition is the newest offering in the private cloud portfolio. The offering allows customers to spin up virtual machines (VMs) across hybrid clouds on demand and self-manage their private cloud from VMs to infrastructure with AIOps-driven simplicity. With an intuitive cloud operational experience for management and seamless integration for data protection, customers can store, manage and protect data across on-premises, edges and public clouds while providing industry-leading ² data availability and efficiency. The offering provides customers self-service flexibility as well as the option to pay up-front or pay-as-you-go.
• HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise has added capabilities to address edge use cases by adding the ability to connect to thousands of distributed IT locations to provide managed services for cloud native and traditional applications. The offering will also add upcoming support to deploy Red Hat OpenShift. HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise will also provide new hybrid and multi-cloud capabilities to easily self-provision workloads with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and VMware.
• HPE also supports customers looking to build a customized private cloud offering through HPE GreenLake Flex Solutions, which is built on standard modules to give customers more speed and simplicity.

Management of VMware Cloud Foundation through HPE GreenLake enables enterprise IT to shift resources to meet changing business demands and avoid overprovisioning by providing customers with a secure, self-service hybrid cloud running on fully managed HPE infrastructure.
• HPE also announced today that its expanded private cloud portfolio will be pre-provisioned at Equinix data centers around the world. The expanded partnership with Equinix will give customers more choice and the ability to rapidly deploy modern private clouds.
