- Patrick Terminals is Australia’s largest container terminal
operator
- HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform delivers mission-critical
compute power on-site with zero latency
- The combined solution spanning HPE compute, storage,
networking, and services allows Patrick Terminals to respond
dynamically to changing customer demands and industry
requirements
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced Patrick
Terminals, Australia’s leading container terminal operator, has
selected the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform to provide
next-generation IT in an as-a-service model to bring new levels of
automation and agility to its terminal operations in Australia. By
leveraging the HPE GreenLake platform and HPE compute, storage,
networking, and services, Patrick Terminals runs their mission
critical applications in a private cloud with an as-a-service
operating model, combining the agility and economics of the cloud
with the security, compliance and performance of on-premises
IT.
Patrick Terminals is a gateway for trade and investment,
delivering exceptional consistency and efficiency for shipping
customers across its container terminals in Brisbane, Sydney,
Melbourne and Western Australia. Patrick Terminals’ aging IT
infrastructure was showing signs of increased failure rates and
there was a need for additional capacity to keep pace with the
dynamic nature of the shipping yard and industry. The container
terminals operate 24 hours a day, with any latency or downtime in
the data centers leading to negative impact on business
operations.
Patrick Terminals’ engineers also require their automation
technologies to work with the complex information systems and
software applications they rely on to keep the terminal running
smoothly. The company’s private cloud needs to manage all the
information coming in from shipping lines, exporters, importers,
and industry regulators. Data is fed in real-time and the
automation systems then perform all the necessary calculations to
direct the equipment in the terminal yard. These data computations
must be nearly instantaneous, which require on-site compute power
to avoid latency and delays.
“One of the things we liked about HPE GreenLake is the ability
to easily adapt to new business requirements. The HPE GreenLake
platform gives us all the advantages of the cloud but with our
systems on-premises,” explained Adrian Sandrin, Chief Information
Officer, Patrick Terminals.
“The agility of HPE GreenLake helps us handle new business
demands as they emerge, whether it’s ensuring compliance, improving
our labor systems, or enabling greater automation,” added Kevin
Windsor, Head of Infrastructure at Patrick Terminals. “Running our
private cloud as a service is a major business advantage. We can
use additional capacity when it’s required and only pay for what we
use, providing us with more flexibility to support the business and
manage costs efficiently, without the delay of lengthy purchase or
leasing procurement processes,” Kevin added.
HPE Pointnext Services managed the end-to-end installation and
configuration of the compute, storage, and networking platforms
that run Patrick Terminals’ core data center applications. The
installation of HPE Synergy composable infrastructure, HPE Primera
storage, HPE StoreOnce backup, HPE Cloud Bank storage, and Aruba
networking, have translated into savings, of both time and fuel
costs, for the terminal and their customers.
“This total HPE solution demonstrates the flexibility of the HPE
GreenLake cloud services portfolio and its ability to deliver
innovation and modernization for our customers. It means that
Patrick Terminals has full control, backed by HPE expertise and
support,” said Chris Weber, Director for Enterprise & Public
Sector HPE South Pacific.
Patrick Terminals engaged one of HPE Australia’s fastest growing
partners, Vectec to transition to an as a service model via the HPE
GreenLake platform.
“We’re pleased to work with Patrick Terminals and deliver a HPE
GreenLake solution that meets their compliance, security and
transformation needs and is scalable for when these needs
inevitably change,” said Michael Murphy, Director at Vectec.
