HPE Ezmeral software helps organizations speed innovation,
modernize applications, unlock the value of data, and automate
operations – from edge to cloud
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today introduced HPE Ezmeral, a
new brand and software portfolio designed to help enterprises
accelerate digital transformation across their organization, from
edge to cloud. HPE Ezmeral spans a complete portfolio – including
container orchestration and management, AI/ML and data analytics,
cost control, IT automation and AI-driven operations, and security
– enabling organizations to increase agility and efficiency, unlock
insights, and deliver business innovation.
The HPE Ezmeral portfolio plays an essential role in HPE’s
edge-to-cloud platform-as-a-service strategy. Today, HPE also
introduced new HPE GreenLake cloud services, which provide an
agile, lower cost, and consistent cloud experience everywhere. As
part of this news, HPE announced that HPE Ezmeral Container
Platform and HPE Ezmeral ML Ops will be made available as cloud
services through HPE GreenLake to bring even greater speed and
simplicity to containerized application development, and DevOps
agility to the ML lifecycle.
HPE Ezmeral Container Platform software provides the
flexibility to deploy and manage containerized applications at
scale on any infrastructure – in enterprise data centers,
colocation facilities, multiple public clouds, and at the edge.
Customers can run cloud-native or non-cloud-native applications in
containers without costly refactoring, manage multiple Kubernetes
clusters with a unified control plane, and leverage a
high-performance distributed file system for persistent data and
stateful applications through HPE’s proven innovations such as HPE
Ezmeral Data Fabric and the KubeDirector open source project. Now
HPE Ezmeral Container Platform will also be delivered as a cloud
service through HPE GreenLake.
HPE Ezmeral ML Ops software leverages containerization to
streamline the entire machine learning model lifecycle across
on-premises, public cloud, hybrid cloud, and edge environments. The
solution introduces a DevOps-like process to standardize machine
learning workflows and accelerate AI deployments from months to
days. Customers benefit by operationalizing AI/ML data science
projects faster, eliminating data silos, seamlessly scaling from
pilot to production, and avoiding the costs and risks of moving
data. HPE Ezmeral ML Ops will also now be available through HPE
GreenLake.
“The HPE Ezmeral software portfolio fuels data-driven digital
transformation in the enterprise by modernizing applications,
unlocking insights, and automating operations,” said Kumar
Sreekanti, CTO and Head of Software for Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
“Our software uniquely enables customers to eliminate lock-in and
costly legacy licensing models, helping them to accelerate
innovation and reduce costs, while ensuring enterprise-grade
security. With over 8,300 software engineers in HPE continually
innovating across our edge to cloud portfolio and signature
customer wins in every vertical, HPE Ezmeral software and HPE
GreenLake cloud services will disrupt the industry by delivering an
open, flexible, cloud experience everywhere.”
“The effective use of data is a cornerstone for any government
to unlock its full potential,” said Dr. Abdulla Al Kendi, Acting
Executive Director of Technology and Policies, Abu Dhabi Digital
Authority. “For this reason, Abu Dhabi Digital Authority (ADDA) has
formed a strong partnership with HPE on a number of digitization
and advanced data initiatives. The recent COVID-19 crisis has
ushered in a new chapter to our collaboration with HPE. Using HPE
Ezmeral ML Ops, ADDA is deploying leading-edge data science and
AI/ML instrumentation to develop intelligent policies aimed at
recovery and containment, preparedness and disease management and
economic growth and revitalization. We’re pleased with the
performance of the HPE Ezmeral ML Ops software so far and are very
supportive of the steps HPE is taking to deliver MLOps software
through HPE GreenLake.”
“AI/ML is the catalyst to any innovative, scalable and resilient
business in today’s world,” said Dr. Mats Nordlund, board member of
AI.se, and director of Research and Innovation at Zenuity. “AI
innovation of Sweden (AI.se) works with our 70+ partners with an
aim to strengthen the competitiveness of Swedish industry and
welfare. We are proud to partner with HPE in their development
journey for the new GreenLake ML Ops cloud services. As we strive
to accelerate applied AI research though collaboration and cross
industry sharing, we are excited to work with HPE in bringing
innovation to the area of data factories and ML model development
at-scale. AI.se is excited to work with HPE experts to test, learn
and innovate on their new HPE Ezmeral ML Ops offering. Together,
we’ve identified ways to refine the functionality and compatibility
of the offering, which we believe will serve AI.se and other HPE
partners in bringing ML capabilities for business success.”
Commitment to Open Source – HPE is actively engaged in
the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and Kubernetes
community, with open source projects such as KubeDirector, Secure
Production Identity Framework for Everyone (SPIFFE) and SPIFFE
Runtime Environment (SPIRE). These projects are a key component of
the HPE Ezmeral strategy to deliver an open and flexible software
portfolio that helps customers avoid vendor lock-in.
- A key component of the HPE Ezmeral Container Platform is an
HPE-contributed open source project, KubeDirector, which provides
the ability to run non-cloud-native monolithic applications (i.e.,
complex, stateful, scale-out application clusters requiring
persistent storage) on Kubernetes.
- HPE’s acquisition in February 2020 of Scytale for cloud-native
security underscores its commitment to the open source ecosystem,
with ongoing contributions to open source projects, including
SPIFFE and SPIRE.
- On June 22, CNCF announced that SPIFFE and SPIRE have been
promoted from sandbox to incubation-level hosted projects. This is
an important development that signifies the continued evolution and
market adoption of the projects.
- Since joining CNCF, the SPIFFE and SPIRE projects have grown in
popularity and have been deployed by notable companies such as
Bloomberg, Bytedance, Pinterest, Square, Uber, and Yahoo Japan.
SPIRE has a thriving developer community, with an ongoing flow of
commits and merged contributions from organizations such as Amazon,
Bloomberg, Google, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Pinterest, Square,
TransferWise, and Uber.
The HPE Ezmeral brand name is a derivative of esmeralda, the
Spanish word for emerald. Emeralds are believed to confer power and
the ability to predict future events, strengthen intelligence, ease
stress, and enhance immunity. The transformation of raw emerald to
a cut and polished stone to reveal something more beautiful and
valuable is analogous to the digital transformation journey our
customers are on. To read more about the HPE Ezmeral strategy,
portfolio, and brand launch, please see the blog from Kumar
Sreekanti, CTO and Head of Software for Hewlett Packard
Enterprise.
