Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced a significant expansion of offerings and innovation across its HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform, hybrid cloud services, private cloud portfolio, and partner ecosystem.
HPE closes OpsRamp acquisition; the solution is now available as a SaaS offering on the HPE GreenLake platform, providing customers with AI-driven operations for multi-vendor, multi-cloud IT environments.
HPE GreenLake adds Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings for backup and machine learning, delivers additional HPE SaaS offerings on the AWS marketplace and extends Network-as-a-service (NaaS) portfolio.
HPE expands the HPE GreenLake private cloud portfolio with HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Business Edition, a new offering that allows customers to spin up virtual machines (VMs) across hybrid clouds on demand.
HPE also announces HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise to address multi-cloud use cases by providing upcoming support to deploy Red Hat OpenShift.
HPE and VMware build on longstanding partnership by enhancing HPE GreenLake for VMware Cloud Foundation pay-per-use solution, with pre-configured and tested HPE cloud modules, optimised for VMware Cloud Foundation.
HPE and Equinix announce expanded partnership to pre-provision HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise and HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Business Edition at Equinix data centers around the world, giving customers rapid access to a broad range of private cloud offerings, for greater speed, agility, flexibility, and choice in their hybrid cloud strategy.
“In 2019, we introduced our strategy to deliver everything as a service through HPE GreenLake. Since then, our strategy has been a winner, as customers increasingly seek to combine the modern cloud experience with the control, governance, performance, and predictability of hybrid cloud,” said Antonio Neri, president and CEO, HPE. “HPE GreenLake has led the way in this new category, and today we are extending our leadership by expanding the reach, choice, and capabilities of our hybrid and private cloud offerings. HPE GreenLake is the destination of choice for any organisation seeking to drive a successful hybrid cloud strategy.”
OpsRamp integration with HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform and sustainability dashboard
The HPE GreenLake platform provides customers and partners with a unified experience to simplify hybrid and multi-cloud IT operations and easily access cloud services. Organisations benefit from a single control plane from which to automate, orchestrate, and run their hybrid cloud.
HPE continues to innovate on the HPE GreenLake platform by adding software from OpsRamp, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, as a SaaS offering. HPE GreenLake platform customers can leverage OpsRamp for full stack observability and automation of assets and applications across heterogenous, multi-vendor, and multi-cloud estates. These unique capabilities provide customers with a powerful tool to drive automation and simplicity, and lower costs, across hybrid cloud estates.
Additionally, OpsRamp advances the capabilities of the recently announced sustainability dashboard, by providing visibility into IT assets and applications across multi-vendor and multi-cloud estates. The sustainability dashboard is now available in early access mode on the HPE GreenLake platform today.
HPE also offers OpsRamp services and consulting through HPE Complete Care Service and HPE Managed Services.

Expanded HPE GreenLake portfolio of modern private cloud offerings and partner ecosystem
Today, organisations demand greater visibility, control, and predictability of their workloads and data at the edge, on-premises, and in the public cloud. As a result, organisations are increasingly turning to private cloud offerings to modernise and digitally transform.
A new report from Constellation Research found that organisations that moved to a private cloud model experienced 50% in cost savings, up to 65% in increased performance on private cloud workloads, and two times faster IT and development cycle times in hybrid environments.1 The Constellation Research study is based on input from senior IT leadership in corporations across North America and is consistent with the momentum behind HPE GreenLake.
