Hewlett PackardEnterprise (HPE) has announced that itsGreenLakeedge tocloud platformwill now support both Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft SQL Server.
With this new integration, organizations can gain additional flexibility and control over their on-premises workloads andhybrid workingexperience. At the same time though, customers of both companies can consolidate their virtualized Windows and Linux workloads for efficiency while being able to run productions workloads using a familiar, hybrid environment.
General manager of HPE GreenLake Cloud Services Keith White explained how this new integration can help boost organizations' hyperconverged infrastructure in apress release, saying:
“The world is becoming hybrid and that’s why we are so excited about this collaboration withMicrosoft, especially as we see significant growth in the Hyperconverged Infrastructure area. By combining Microsoft Azure Stack HCI with offerings like the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, customers benefit from a unified, automated experience. The solution means customers can determine their own right mix of hybrid cloud and workload placement, with flexibility but also control. We continue to deepen our collaboration with Microsoft to develop comprehensive solutions that help customers transform to modern cloud-driven organizatons.”
Hyperconverged infrastructure
According to IDC’sCloud Pulse 1Q20survey, 70 percent of critical production applications and data currently remain outside the public cloud in a secure, single tenant environment and at the edge where data is increasingly created.
By using HPE GreenLake with Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft SQL Server, businesses can transform their on-premises and edge workloads to provide customers with a cloud experience and operating model for applications and workloads which is closer to where their data actually lives.
Managing ahybrid IT environmentis also easier with this new integration as customers can control their services through the Azure portal in the same way they manage their Microsoft Azurepublic cloudservices.
