HPE provides as-a-Service offerings and flexible financing terms
to preserve capital, ready-to-order solutions to ease deployment,
and improved VDI solution performance for superior remote worker
user experience
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today announced a series of
initiatives to help customers and support business continuity in
the wake of COVID-19. Recognizing the growing need to deploy or
scale remote workforce infrastructure to meet stay-at-home and
social distancing policies, HPE is releasing a more powerful
virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution, and offering
flexible financing terms and new pre-configured solutions to
increase flexibility and accelerate delivery for customers. HPE’s
range of VDI solutions, advisory services and financing enable
customers to rapidly design and tailor their VDI rollouts to meet
users’ needs, keep their network secure and conserve capital.
Available now, HPE Financial Services is offering new,
innovative financial and asset lifecycle options including
short-term rentals and 90-day payment deferrals on VDI solutions.1
HPE VDI solutions are also available as-a-Service through HPE
Greenlake to support customers who require financial flexibility in
their remote workforce roll out.
HPE is also offering new, pre-configured VDI solutions to
support small, medium and enterprise customers. Built on either HPE
ProLiant or HPE Synergy servers, these solutions can start as small
as 80 users and scale to over 2,000 remote workers and are designed
for Citrix and VMware environments.
HPE also announced today a new, higher-performing VDI solution
to support power users working remotely. HPE Moonshot now ships
with the new HPE ProLiant m750 Server Blade and delivers more than
a 70% performance advantage and consumes 25% less power than the
previous generation.2 In virtualized desktops and applications
where density and efficiency are paramount, the new HPE ProLiant
m750 Server Blade can support nearly 33% percent more remote
workers on 25% less power.3
“The urgent global response to COVID-19 has pressured our
customers to rapidly implement and expand secure, remote work
options for their organizations. I’m proud that our team at HPE is
delivering a breadth of solutions, services and expertise to help
our customers support their employees and operations during this
critical time,” said Gerald Kleyn, vice president and general
manager of Moonshot, Edge and IoT Systems at HPE. “Our
infrastructure solutions, which provide industry-leading remote
management, security, and automation capabilities, help businesses
quickly deliver virtual workspaces to their remote staff.”
The new virtualized solutions can be easily accessed and managed
virtually, to power a range of remote use applications in markets
like banking, healthcare and education. These applications include
electronic trading, telemedicine, support for remote workers in
temporary medical facilities, and e-learning for digitized
classrooms and curriculums. The remote support capabilities of
HPE’s VDI solutions have been essential to customers recently,
including a large banking institution in New York that is required
by local government to have staff work from home during the
COVID-19 pandemic, and a hospital chain in Switzerland that is
expanding its remote IT staff to manage its infrastructure for
critical medical systems.
HPE’s fleet of virtual desktop infrastructure and digital
workspace solutions are built to deliver secure, efficient access
to applications and data and are designed to support a wide range
of user requirements across healthcare, government, financial
services, education, manufacturing and retail.
HPE also offers a range of advisory and professional services to
assist customers to design, deploy and manage their remote work
force initiatives, and was recently recognized as a leader in IDC’s
first Worldwide Digital Workspace Services Marketscape. With
hundreds of digital workplace experts globally, delivering over 500
projects per year, HPE has deep expertise in helping organizations
establish secure, reliable connectivity for remote workers, quickly
implementing remote workplace options with partners such as
Microsoft and Citrix, and enabling workforces to quickly adapt to
remote workplace tools and practices.
