Pharmaceutical leader to embark on its first technology Asset
Upcycling in Canada, followed by planned expansion in Japan, the
U.S. and other countries
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced that HPE
Asset Upcycling Services have been selected by Astellas Pharma Inc.
a global pharmaceutical company. Starting in Canada, these services
provide the collection and processing of end-of-use network
equipment as part of the company’s network standardization project
and will contribute to Astellas’ efforts to achieve its
sustainability goals.
A first collection of networking assets is taking place in
Canada today, with other Astellas sites to follow, starting with
the Japanese headquarters where hundreds of technology assets,
including networking, servers, PCs, and smartphones will be
decommissioned for secure refurbishment. Each year, Astellas teams
will be receiving their own HPE Circular Economy report, which
details the reuse versus recycle rate by product family and the
associated environmental impact savings.
HPE Asset Upcycling Services is part of HPE’s full range of
solutions to help customers modernize multi-generational IT
estates, extend the life of legacy systems and associated software,
and extract value from end-of-use technology. Astellas selected HPE
Asset Upcycling Services for its consistent global quality of
service in securely processing and refurbishing end-of-use
hardware, including network assets, storage, servers, and workplace
devices across multiple brands.
"While IT modernization is crucial in realizing the best
experience for our colleagues at Astellas, we want to achieve a
positive impact on the environment by promoting the reuse and
recycling of IT assets," said Yasunori Yakabe, Director, Head of
Cloud Products and Platforms Digital Architecture Solutions,
Digital Analytics and Technology, Astellas. “We selected HPE Asset
Upcycling Services for it to play an integral role in our corporate
social responsibility efforts and contribute to the circular
economy. We expect HPE’s solutions to not only strengthen our
network and IT infrastructure but also accelerate our journey to
carbon neutrality.”
Astellas also selected HPE Aruba Networking solutions to
strengthen its backbone network. A secure, agile, and dynamic
network is critical to support the research, discovery,
development, and manufacturing of innovative new medicines.
Astellas, with operations, R&D centers, and manufacturing sites
in more than 70 countries worldwide, requires a scalable,
resilient, and reliable infrastructure that eliminates network
silos and can be managed centrally. HPE Aruba Networking Central, a
cloud-based networking solution, will deliver AI-powered analytics,
end-to-end automation and orchestration, and advanced security for
unified management and enhanced IT productivity.
“We are honored to have been selected by Astellas for HPE Aruba
Networking solutions and HPE Asset Upcycling Services,” said
Hirokazu Mochizuki, senior vice president and managing director for
HPE Japan. “HPE Aruba Networking Central helps overcome the
challenges of legacy networking and delivers a compelling user
experience. As we work together to advance sustainability, the HPE
Circular Economy Report will play an important role in providing
the reuse and recycling details for the products that are returned,
allowing Astellas to track its progress on carbon emission
avoidance.”
