Robert Christiansen, VP of Strategy in the CTO Office at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), says that HPE’s GreenLake data platform “is the perfect solution to a really interesting problem.” Bob and Robert discuss that specific challenge and many others facing businesses seeking to keep up the pace in today’s acceleration economy. Robert explains the present and future capabilities of GreenLake and why flexibility and agility are key to its success.
The Big Themes:
- Modernizing without compromise: every customer is going to have vastly different needs and different use cases, but HPE is adamant about meeting the specific requirements of each one.
- Putting the platform next to the data: giving customers the ability to access their data in its native form helps them avoid running through hoops in terms of compliance, governance, operations, and more.
- What’s next for HPE GreenLake: look for more in the realms of protected infrastructure, data set management, and exploring what it looks like to separate database administrator roles, the classic IT roles, from the data operation roles.
The Big Quote: “HP GreenLake’s fundamental problem proposition is to bring in what you’ve been buying before… and then have our GreenLake managed services organization take care of it for you, so that you don’t have to worry about it anymore. And it scales up and down based on your needs.”
