Antonio Neri, President & CEO, HPE<\/p><\/div>\n
UPDATED: HPE Discover was a virtual event this year with HP Enterprise (HPE) conducting more than 150 sessions, demos, and training sessions conducted live and on-demand. HPE also managed to bring a little bit of Las Vegas to this virtual experience (Vegas Neon) — past events were conducted in this city. HPE made some announcements around its new cloud services and its software portfolio (Greenlake and Ezmeral). Delivering the keynote at HPE Discover Virtual Experience, Antonio Neri, President & CEO, HPE said, “We want to make everything available as a service by 2022.” He talked about the new age of insights that we are entering. “We believe in collecting data to providing insights to the business,” he said. Executives also spoke about HPE’s edge-to-cloud platform as a service strategy, which was announced last year. Joining Antonio for a pre-recorded session was John Chambers, former Executive Chairman and CEO of Cisco Systems.<\/p>\n
Antonio’s keynote was divided into three parts. The first part was on how HPE is helping its customers to return to business with connectivity, cash flow, and business continuity. “At HPE we want to advance the way people live and work. And HPE exists to solve challenges like these (global pandemic). We consider it our responsibility to help the world navigate this pandemic. We want to support our customers and partners as we weather this storm together,” said Antonio. “Three years ago, we predicted the enterprise of the future will be cloud-centric, cloud-enabled and data-driven. Today it is no longer a prediction but a reality.”<\/p>\n
Antonio said the edge-centric world needs technology, people, and financial flexibility. And he told us how HPE is working to deliver all three to help customers accelerate their transformations.<\/p>\n
HPE undertook some initiatives during the pandemic. It designated $2bn in financial services to help its customers and partners who face financial hardships. For example, it supported the May Seed Company in Turkey by providing financial assistance. May Seed delivers crop seed to more than 40 countries.<\/p>\n
HPE solutions are helping scientists with drug discovery, enabled by AI and machine learning capabilities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Tech for Good<\/strong><\/p>\n
Aruba Networks capabilities (WiFi networks and connectivity) were deployed to help front-line medical workers during the pandemic. For instance, a ship in Italy was converted to a hospital and Aruba Networks provided the network infrastructure. Aruba is enabling COVID-19 testing centres with connectivity.<\/p>\n
Aruba is also helping schools get back on track by providing connectivity so that they can start virtual classroom sessions. An example is Bentonville Schools in the state of Arkansas, which moved 18,000 students and 1,200 teachers to virtual learning.<\/p>\n
HPE solutions are helping scientists with drug discovery, enabled by AI and machine learning capabilities. HPE gave scientists at the University of Alabama access to its supercomputer and high-performance computing resources to fight COVID-19. It also joined forces with the US government and other institutions for this purpose.<\/p>\n
Another example is Cerner Health care, a supplier of health information technology solutions, services, devices, and hardware. The 40-year old company has been focussing on digitizing health care. It is now taking its big data and EMR platforms and driving insights to improve health care for its clients in the provider space. When the UK’s NHS (National Health Service) needed to expand hospital capacity, Cerner helped to transform a convention centre in London to a 100-acre hospital with 4,000 beds in a few days. This had to be done quickly because of the surge in COVID-19 cases. HPE helped Cerner with additional hardware capacity. HPE also helped the consulting practice to become prepared with new processes and workflows.<\/p>\n
As the world reopens and businesses return to work, the focus is on employee health care, safety at the workplace, social distancing, contact tracing and tracking.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Return to work solutions<\/strong><\/p>\n
As the world reopens and businesses return to work, the focus is on employee health care, safety at the workplace, social distancing, contact tracing and tracking. HPE launched five new Pointnext return to work services to help organizations accelerate business recovery and reopening plans in the wake of COVID-19. The new solutions, which will assist in controlling the spread of the virus and enabling business continuity, will be implemented and managed through HPE Pointnext Technology Services for a fast, seamless transition. These solutions will scale for businesses of all sizes using secure, high-performing HPE servers for the edge, Aruba AI-powered network infrastructure, and technologies from HPE\u2019s rich ecosystem of partners.<\/p>\n
