How HPE Hybrid Cloud Solutions Can Accelerate Your Digital Transformation

Introduction

Cloud computing is no longer a matter of why, but a matter of when and how. Cloud promises speed, agility, and cost savings—but realizing the full value of cloud requires solving difficult challenges such as data gravity, security, compliance with regulations, cost management, and the need for organizational change.

  • Control and optimize cloud costs, ensuring visibility and accountability
  • Innovate faster with the cloud experience everywhere, modernizing your applications and data

Taking a Hybrid Approach to Cloud Computing

Apps that can easily move to the cloud already have. Meanwhile, two out of every three apps remain on-premises due to issues such as data gravity, sovereignty, compliance, cost, and interdependencies with other systems. This leaves enterprises caught in the middle of old and new, struggling to reach their transformation goals within a complex dual IT operating environment.

HPE hybrid cloud solutions enable you to create more versatile setups based on your specific business needs. You can choose the right mix of cloud environments for your apps and data, whether it is public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises infrastructure. You can also leverage the benefits of each environment, such as scalability, security, performance, and control.

Making a Comprehensive Plan for Cloud Migration and Adoption
