Customers today require agility and flexibility to rapidly configure and provision different workloads based on their business demands. HPE is therefore introducing HPE GreenLake Lighthouse to provide “a seamless, intelligent operational experience” for running and managing different services.
A cloud-native platform, HPE GreenLake Lighthouse eliminates having to order and wait for a new configuration. Instead it allows customers to add new cloud services in just a few clicks in HPE GreenLake Central. They can run them simultaneously in just minutes.
The platform is built on HPE Ezmeral software to autonomously optimize different cloud services and workloads. It by composes resources to deliver the best performance, lowest cost or a balance of both, depending on business priorities.
Customers can use HPE GreenLake Lighthouse to run cloud services in their data center, with a colocation provider, or at the edge.
HPE Lighthouse is available now within HPE GreenLake cloud services globally and available through channel partners.
Securing edge-to-cloud is becoming more complex as organizations evolve their architectures to span data centers to edge locations. In addition, attackers increasingly employ advanced exploitation techniques.
HPE is addressing this with Project Aurora to deliver cloud-native, zero-trust security to HPE’s edge-to-cloud architecture. Embedded within HPE GreenLake, Project Aurora automatically and continuously verifies the integrity of the hardware, firmware, operating systems, platforms, and workloads.
In addition, Project Aurora can be used to automatically detect advanced threats from silicon to cloud. HPE says this can happen in seconds compared to today’s average of 28 days.
Project Aurora will be first embedded within HPE GreenLake Lighthouse. In the future, it will be embedded within HPE GreenLake cloud services and HPE Ezmeral software. This, says HPE, will provide customers with a platform-agnostic way to define, create, and deploy a zero-trust architecture straddling edge to cloud.
Project Aurora will become available in HPE GreenLake Lighthouse, HPE GreenLake cloud services and HPE Ezmeral software platforms later this year.
HPE is unveiling a pay-per-use, consumption-based pricing model that will optimize at the silicon level. This, it says, will offer a more granular cloud experience with better metering, reduced buffering time and faster deployment.
Available first via the HPE GreenLake cloud platform, HPE will offer flexible consumption capabilities with silicon on-demand developed in partnership with Intel. This will add new capacity at a processor core and persistent memory level using Intel Optane technology. There will be no need to order or install new processors. Customers can instantly activate and pay for more capacity with just a click.
Silicon on-demand is available now on the HPE GreenLake cloud platform.
HPE notes that many IT teams are not able to manage the complexity of monitoring and managing their computing assets. As it the task has become complex and task-intensive, it requires more automated, unified tools, it says.
As such, HPE is introducing unified compute operations-as-a-service with the Compute Cloud Console. HPE describes it “an intuitive, cloud-based management service that automates compute operations across an organization’s entire fleet.”
Based on HPE GreenLake, Compute Cloud Console simplifies the infrastructure management experience “no matter where workloads are running, from edge to cloud.” Additionally, it automates manual tasks such as provisioning and lifecycle management. This is designed to speed up time-to-market and eliminating inconsistencies due to human error.
The console is built upon the same AI-powered technology that supports Aruba Central. The engine that serves more than 100,000 customers and more than a million networked devices. It also builds on its Data Services Cloud Console which provides a cloud-native, software-defined solution for data storage.
The Compute Cloud Console is available today by invitation only to customers in the U.S. on the HPE GreenLake cloud platform. It will be offered to customers in other regions later this year.
HPE also unveiled a catalog of new cloud services that customers can access with a click using HPE GreenLake. These include cloud services for 5G, electronic medical records, financial services, data and risk analytics, and high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI).
Elsewhere, HPE is expanding HPE GreenLake to include support for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft SQL Server. Joint customers can consolidate virtualized Windows and Linux workloads for efficiency, and run production workloads using a familiar, hybrid environment.
HPE GreenLake cloud platform now has more than 1,200 customers representing $4.8 billion in total contract value and a 95% customer renewal rate. It is actively sold by around 900 partners worldwide.
HPE updated GreenLake this year to make it more channel-friendly. This included offering it directly in the cloud marketplaces of several distributors.

Monday at HPE Discover 2021, HPE announced a series of new releases for HPE GreenLake. These include applications, security, silicon and software with automated, cloud-native capabilities.
HPE GreenLake is designed to deliver an as-a-service cloud experience, on-premises. In its most recent quarter, HPE GreenLake grew annual recurring revenue 30%. Orders increased 41% year over year.
HPE says the updates enable customers to transform and modernize their workloads to a cloud operating model. It says they can optimize and secure applications from edge to cloud. They can also “achieve a future-ready position capable of addressing and leveraging all forms of data, regardless of location.”
