Use Cases

To help you mine continuous streams of value locked in your data, HPE GreenLake delivers a trusted, enterprise-grade AI/ML and analytics cloud-like experience so you can accelerate your data modernization initiatives, from edge to cloud. With a cloud-native architecture, support for open source data science tools, and AI accelerators and frameworks, it provides choice and an elastic, unified analytics platform for data and applications on-premises, at the edge, and in public clouds. The consistent experience helps data, IT teams, developers, and analysts simplify the complexities of machine learning lifecycles and data management at scale, leading to better, faster decisions no matter where your data resides.

Many enterprises have their high-performance databases supported by traditional infrastructure. Managing these segregated workloads results in burdensome manual processes that can expose your database to costly human error. In addition to high maintenance costs, database sprawl, and increased security risk, such siloed operations on traditional infrastructure result in slow provisioning, inflexibility, poor quality insights, and expensive workarounds for disaster recovery.

You need high performance capabilities to unlock the potential of your data and accelerate innovation and run your modeling, simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), and analytics workloads efficiently. Now you can answer your most challenging questions with HPC for your standard business processes, removing the barriers to HPC and leveraging true HPC technology in this cloud service.

With HPE GreenLake for HPC, organizations can gain the agility to scale the environment with ease and empower users with self-service. The HPE GreenLake platform can deliver superior flexibility, scalability, and control of HPC solutions with a cloud service consumption model on premises. Open up AI, ML and more HPC techniques with this second generation cloud service, now with a lower flexible entry point, more GPU choices, Slingshot high speed networking, and HPE Parallel Storage.

While the costs and risks of an on-premises cloud migration are typically lower than those of a public cloud migration, most organizations are looking for a hybrid model that utilizes on-premises cloud, multiple public clouds, and edge computing to deliver the right mix of decision-making effectiveness, agility, security, and cost.

With HPE guiding you through the process, you can achieve your right mix to unlock value in your data wherever it resides, while reducing technological and financial risks. Even though most organizations use an average of five cloud solutions, a majority of core business applications run on expensive, legacy platforms. But with one accountable migration partner with thousands of successful enterprise-wide hybrid and multi-cloud adoption engagements—including HPE GreenLake on-premises cloud with easier, fewer, and less risky steps—you can easily reap the full value of transformation that will move your business forward.

Most enterprises store diverse data types across multiple platforms, such as on-premises data centers, multiple clouds, and at the edge. Each environment becomes an independent silo that restricts access to the data and the insights they contain. This means slower time to modernize analytics and gain the insights that you need to innovate and drive your business.

The HPE GreenLake platform offers a fully managed, on-premises service containing an analytics-ready data fabric for hybrid environments. From a single management view, it allows you to set up, administer, and manage globally distributed data sets across edge-to-cloud deployments. It lowers risk by providing infrastructure in a pay-per-use model, while HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric modernizes analytics and data management, unifying different data types across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge, and delivering seamless access to a trusted source of data.

HPE InfoSight for Servers combines the machine learning and predictive analytics of HPE InfoSight with the health and performance monitoring of Active Health System (AHS) and HPE Integrated Lights Out (iLO) to optimize performance and predict and prevent problems. HPE InfoSight for Servers nearly eliminates wasted time and headaches by transforming how infrastructure is managed and supported. AHS is like a “flight recorder” for your server that provides continuous, proactive health monitoring and recording thousands of system parameters and diagnostic telemetry data 24x7 on the server. HPE InfoSight for Servers analyzes the telemetry data from AHS to derive insights from the behaviors of the install base to provide recommendations to resolve problems and improve performance. iLO Amplifier Pack functions as an on-premise aggregator and transmitter for HPE InfoSight for servers.

HPE Alletra dHCI radically simplifies infrastructure for every application by reimagining HCI without limitations. Built for business-critical apps and mixed workloads, HPE Alletra  dHCI enables IT agility while ensuring apps are always-on and always-fast. VM-centric and AI-driven operations make it effortless, while 99.9999%² guaranteed data availability and consistent sub-millisecond latency mean it's ideal for the most demanding apps and workloads. It lowers costs with flexible, independent scaling of compute and storage and industry-leading data efficiency. Finally, HPE Alletra dHCI maximizes agility by unlocking the cloud experience across hybrid cloud. We call it HCI 2.0 as it’s HCI without limitations.

Are your High Performance Compute (HPC) and AI environments struggling with file management?
HPE Data Management Framework 7 (DMF7) delivers centralized data management across HPC and AI storage systems and protects scalable, parallel file systems like Lustre and Spectrum Scale. Namespace reflection is used to create an independent snapshot of file system state, allowing you to recover file systems in a known good state. This system maintains file versions, allowing users to recover files from previous successful job runs.

HPE DMF7 automates data movement between tiers in a storage hierarchy, e.g. between flash and disk. Administrators and users can also use HPE DMF7 to move files between file systems, e.g. when files must be moved from storage that is being retired. HPE DMF7 improves utilization of expensive, high performance storage by automatically moving files to lower cost storage tiers, creating a virtual storage space that appears to scale beyond the physical capacity.

Do you need to improve the performance of your mission-critical systems and provide a higher level of technical support?

The HPE Foundation Software 2 is a required suite of technical support tools and utilities that enable HPE Mission Critical systems to run at improved performance with enhanced technical support. It delivers improved scale-up performance and can be scaled up to 32 sockets of X86 processors in Linux® environments. Included is a software tool for managing LSI RAID controllers from the operating system (OS). The suite also includes remote services and memory error manager logger that alert Hewlett Packard Enterprise when changes or errors occur and provide logger and hardware event notification.

The HPE Foundation Software 2 provides an enhanced error reporting log to highlight potential issues.

The HPE ConvergedSystem 300 for Microsoft Analytics Platform is designed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Microsoft® to deliver high performance and throughput, with up to 12.6 PB of capacity. Scalability and massively parallel processing (MPP) support high-volume data demands and the ability to analyze all data types with Microsoft’s integrated query tool, PolyBase. PolyBase ties the worlds of relational and non-relational data together, so they operate seamlessly in this single data warehouse appliance. End-to-end integration shortens deployment from months to days and eases ongoing operations. Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Microsoft have come together to help enterprises more easily implement data warehouse solutions by designing and delivering a complete solution built on a proven architecture, with a fine-tuned configuration. The collaborative support model brings faster resolution to issues if they arise.
