HPE Accelerates Data Insight and Action Across the Enterprise with Latest Edgeline Capabilities
June 20 2018 - 2:00PM
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE:HPE) today announced a family of
edge-to-cloud solutions enabled by HPE Edgeline Converged Edge
Systems to help organizations simplify their hybrid IT
environment. By running the same enterprise applications at
the edge, in data centers and in the cloud, the solutions allow
organizations to more efficiently capitalize on the vast amounts of
data created in remote and distributed locations like factories,
oil rigs or energy grids.
According to Gartner, by 2022, as a result of digital business
projects, 75% of enterprise-generated data will be created and
processed outside the traditional, centralized data center or
cloud, up from less than 10% in 20181.
To fully exploit the data and enable real-time action,
organizations need to run enterprise-class applications close to
the point where the data is created -- at the edge. HPE’s new
edge-to-cloud solutions operate unmodified enterprise software from
partners Citrix, GE Digital, Microsoft, PTC, SAP and
SparkCognition, both on HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems –
rugged, compact systems delivering immediate insight from data at
the edge – and on data center and cloud platforms. This capability
enables customers to harness the value of the data generated at the
edge to increase operational efficiency, create new customer
experiences and introduce new revenue streams. At the same time,
edge-to-cloud solutions enabled by HPE Edgeline simplify the
management of the hybrid IT environment, as the same application
and management software can be used from edge to cloud.
“The edge is increasingly becoming a centerpiece of the digital
enterprise where things and people generate and act on massive
amounts of data,” said Dr. Tom Bradicich, Vice President and
General Manager, IoT and Converged Edge Systems, HPE. “Our
edge-to-cloud solutions help bring enterprise-class IT capabilities
from the data center to the edge. This reduces software and IT
administration costs, while accelerating insight and control across
the organization and supply chain.”
HPE also announced the HPE Edgeline Extended Storage Adapter
option kit, adding up to 48 terabytes of software-defined storage
to HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems. This enhancement enables
storage-intensive use cases like artificial intelligence (AI),
video analytics or databases at the edge, while leveraging
industry-standard storage management tools such as Microsoft
Storage Spaces, HPE StoreVirtual VSA, and VMware vSAN.
New solution architectures improve efficiencies and
drive innovation
In close collaboration with its software partners, HPE provides
tested and validated solution architectures for the implementation
and operation of the following enterprise software stacks on HPE
Edgeline EL1000 and EL4000 Converged Edge Systems, in combination
with data center and cloud deployments: Microsoft SQL Server and
Azure technologies, SAP HANA software, PTC ThingWorx, GE
Digital’s Predix platform, SparkCognition’s SparkPredict and
Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop.
By running these applications with enterprise-class performance,
manageability, and security from edge to cloud, the new HPE
solutions enable customers to:
- Drive business innovation with real-time processes at
the edge – HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems are the
industry’s first platform to converge enterprise-class IT and
operations technology (control systems, data acquisition, and
industrial networks) into one system. The new edge-to-cloud
solutions enable customers to leverage advanced analytics, AI and
IoT capabilities in remote locations such as oil rigs, factories
and wind farms to minimize equipment downtime, increase automation
and create new business models.
- Expedite action and controls across the enterprise and
supply chain – Using the same application stacks at the
edge, in data centers, and in the cloud, simplifies the sharing of
critical data and insights from the edge across locations to enable
data correlation, deep learning and process coordination. For
example, selected predictive maintenance data from several oil rigs
could be aggregated and analyzed in a central location to enable
intelligent maintenance scheduling across oil rigs.
- Simplify hybrid IT – HPE’s edge-to-cloud
solutions reduce complexity and administration cost as the edge
platforms can now be managed with the same HPE and partner
management tools and processes as in the data center. Just like
HPE’s data center IT systems, HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems
are equipped with HPE systems management, providing the tools to
maximize uptime, performance, and security, from anywhere in the
world.
"Our smart power grid, which can generate terabytes of data per
hour at the edge, relies on intelligent edge technologies connected
to central analytics and cloud platforms," said Dr. Steve Pratt,
Chief Technology Officer, CenterPoint Energy. "We are enthused
about the value of HPE’s edge-to-cloud solutions, as we strive to
significantly expand our analytics capabilities at the edge to
reach our goal of creating smarter and more efficient energy
delivery for our customers."
Accelerate time to value, drive digital
transformation
HPE’s edge-to-cloud solutions are validated by HPE and its
software partners to accelerate implementation and time to value.
Moreover, advisory and transformation services delivered by HPE
Pointnext help define and execute blueprints and roadmaps for
edge-to-cloud solutions focused on the customer’s business goals
and specific transformation needs. HPE Pointnext also delivers
operational services to help customers manage the day-to-day
operational tasks in an edge-to-cloud environment, removing
complexity and responding rapidly to business demands. And with HPE
GreenLake, HPE offers a unique suite of on-premises, pay-per-use
infrastructure and solutions for workloads including big data,
backup, database platform, SAP HANA, and edge computing.
Availability and pricingThe edge-to-cloud
solutions enabled by HPE Edgeline Converged Edge Systems are
available worldwide. Solution pricing depends on size and
complexity of the installation. The HPE Edgeline Extended Storage
Adapter option kit will be available in September 2018, with list
prices starting at $299.
