Nokia and Hewlett Packard Enterprise expand collaboration on Enterprise of Things
November 30 2016 - 9:07AM
Nokia and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) today
announced a strategic collaboration on Internet of Things (IoT)
solutions for enterprise customers.
The companies will jointly market and sell solutions for two IoT
vertical enterprise segments, including industrial/manufacturing
and smart city applications. They will provide
industrial/manufacturing customers with solutions for asset
management, smart manufacturing, remote site automation and
predictive maintenance, and enhanced networking choices for
improved connectivity for smart city solutions, such as smart
lighting and smart buildings.
According to research firm Markets and Markets, the IoT market
for smart cities and manufacturing will reach USD 161 billion by
2020. The markets will grow as manufacturing companies use IoT to
improve productivity in the production process and the supply
chain, and as cities with growing populations use IoT to improve
operational efficiency, maintain and protect their infrastructure,
and operate in a sustainable manner.
The joint offerings combine connectivity, core networking, data
aggregation and compute technologies from Nokia and HPE. The
companies are currently working on a proof-of-concept for smart
cities, combining Nokia's routing capabilities with HPE's Hybrid IT
capabilities for joint project delivery models.
The IoT partnership extends the existing collaboration between
the two organizations, which to date includes end-to-end deals with
25 enterprise and service provider customers, and more than 30
proof-of-concepts.
Kathrin Buvac, chief strategy officer at Nokia,
said: "We are pleased to extend our partnership with HPE
into the IoT space. HPE's market presence offers Nokia expedited
and increased access to the enterprise market and target verticals
along with a complimentary portfolio of products and services."
Antonio Neri, executive vice president, Head of
Enterprise Group at HPE, said: "The addition of Nokia to
the HPE IoT partner ecosystem will bring broader choice and
market-leading technologies to our joint customers. HPE and Nokia
have a long history of innovation that will help our customers
through their journey of digitization."
HPE has joined Nokia's IoT Community (www.iotcommunity.com), an
ecosystem of innovative companies collaborating on solution
concepts, end-to-end prototypes, business models and market trials
that will unleash the full potential of IoT. Nokia is joining part
of HPE's IoT initiative within HPE's industry leading Partner Ready
program.
The joint solutions will be ready to market from early 2017
onwards.
