Partnership will enable customers to seamlessly build, run and
manage services on-premises and in the cloud with Anthos
Google Cloud Next - Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and
Google Cloud today announced a global partnership to deliver hybrid
cloud solutions that accelerate innovation and expand choice and
agility for customers. Today’s announcement is part of an ongoing
collaboration between HPE and Google Cloud to provide customers
with a consistent experience across public cloud and on-premises
environments.
As part of the initial strategic agreement, HPE will offer two
HPE Validated Designs for Google Cloud’s Anthos based on HPE
SimpliVity hyperconverged infrastructure and HPE Nimble Storage and
HPE ProLiant servers. HPE’s validation of Anthos on its solutions
provides HPE’s and Google Cloud’s mutual customers the flexibility
to choose the right mix of on-premises infrastructure and public
cloud to best meet their needs.
Additionally, HPE will offer validated on-premises
infrastructure-as-a-service through HPE GreenLake, HPE’s fully
managed pay-per-use consumption offering. Customers who choose this
offering can run applications as a service in a Google Kubernetes
Engine (GKE) environment on-premises and benefit from the same
container-based design across their hybrid infrastructure.
Customers can leverage Anthos to manage their public cloud as
well as on-premises resources. With HPE GreenLake, they will
benefit from a consistent consumption model for their on-premises
environment.
“Customers tell us they value choice, simplicity, and
consistency in building their hybrid cloud strategy,” said Phil
Davis, President of Hybrid IT and Chief Sales Officer, HPE. “By
partnering with Google Cloud and leveraging a container-based
approach, HPE can offer a seamless hybrid cloud experience with the
unique option to do it all as-a-service. This approach, powered by
Anthos and HPE GreenLake, gives our customers the freedom to
modernize at their own pace with the HPE infrastructure of their
choice.”
“We’re working closely with HPE to make it easy for customers to
incorporate Anthos into their cloud strategies,” said Kevin
Ichhpurani, Corporate Vice President, Global Ecosystem and Business
Development at Google Cloud. “We’re delighted that HPE shares our
‘build once, run anywhere’ approach and look forward to expanding
our partnership for hybrid cloud solutions on behalf of
customers.”
Accelerate Container Deployment with HPE and Google
Cloud
Today, organizations are using container-based architectures to
modernize applications and make developers more agile, applications
more portable, and deployments more streamlined. Gartner estimates
that by 2022, more than 75% of global organizations will be running
containerized applications in production.1
Anthos’ use of virtual machines to run containers on-premises
allows customers to securely and efficiently run production
applications on software-defined infrastructure that is easily
managed, monitored, scaled, and optimized. The new solutions from
HPE and Google Cloud will make it easier for customers to leverage
containers and drive a consistent cloud experience, so applications
are built once to run anywhere, across clouds and on-premises.
Together, these solutions are ideal for a range of use cases,
including implementing DevOps through a CI/CD pipeline, developing
applications in Google Cloud and running them in production
on-premises, and deploying low-cost distributed edge containerized
applications.
How it Works
Today’s partnership announcement consists of the following
components:
- HPE Validated Design for Anthos on
HPE SimpliVity brings the simplicity of a hyperconverged
solution to GKE. This solution simplifies test/dev and hybrid cloud
management for containerized applications hosted at the enterprise
edge. HPE SimpliVity’s strong remote management capabilities and
bandwidth-efficient replication between sites make for easy
installation and central administration. The combination of
infrastructure and advanced data services for VMware and Hyper-V
virtualized workloads, as well as containers in VMs, enables an
easy transition to a container environment by allowing containers
and VMs to share the same hardware and storage.
- HPE Validated Design for Anthos on
HPE Nimble Storage and HPE ProLiant provides a flexible
architecture for storage-centric workloads that require independent
scaling of compute and storage. This solution brings
mission-critical reliability and the speed of flash to container
environments along with uniform management across on-premises and
public cloud. Applications can be modernized in place and hybrid
cloud can be implemented to accelerate time-to-market, lower
administrative overhead, and drive innovation.
- HPE GreenLake allows customers
to experience a flexible consumption model for the validated HPE
on-premises infrastructure that is integrated with Anthos to
provide a fully managed container orchestration service.
Organizations can deploy containers on demand without having to
manage the underlying on-premises infrastructure, introducing time
and cost savings. HPE GreenLake customers benefit from:
- Reducing deployment time by 65%2
- Improving productivity by 40%
- Lowering overprovisioning by 30%
