Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced the HPE Container Platform, its enterprise-grade Kubernetes-based container platform designed for both cloud-native applications and monolithic applications with persistent storage.
With the HPE Container Platform, enterprise customers can accelerate application development for new and existing apps – running on bare-metal or virtualized infrastructure, on any public cloud, and at the edge.
The new platform addresses requirements for large-scale enterprise Kubernetes deployments across a range of use cases, from machine learning and edge analytics to CI/CD pipelines and application modernization.
IT teams can manage multiple Kubernetes clusters with multi-tenant container isolation and pre-integrated persistent storage. Developers have secure on-demand access to their environments so they can develop apps and release code faster, with the portability of containers to build once and deploy anywhere.
The HPE Container Platform is built on proven innovations from HPE’s acquisitions of BlueData and MapR, together with 100 percent open source Kubernetes. This next-generation solution dramatically reduces cost and complexity by running containers on bare-metal, while providing the flexibility to deploy on virtual machines and cloud instances. Customers benefit from greater efficiency, higher utilization, and improved performance by “collapsing the stack” and eliminating the need for virtualization.
The HPE Container Platform is a turnkey solution that uniquely addresses these challenges, with BlueData software as the control plane for container management, the MapR distributed file system for persistent data with containers, and Kubernetes for container orchestration.
This approach extends benefits of containers beyond cloud-native microservices-architected applications, providing the ability to containerize non cloud-native monolithic applications with persistent data storage.
The HPE Container Platform modernizes non cloud-native monolithic applications without re-architecting them, elevating the experience to modern cloud standards; provides the ability to build applications once and run them anywhere, bridging the gap between on-premises, public clouds and the edge; improves productivity for developers and delivers new code releases faster, with simplified Kubernetes deployment and multi-cluster management; and ensures enterprise-class security, performance, and reliability at lower cost, with bare-metal containers and data persistence.
This offering complements existing HPE services to assist customers with container strategies, application modernization, and hybrid cloud deployments. HPE Pointnext provides advisory and consulting services built upon experience from over one thousand hybrid cloud engagements, with expertise and best practices from the acquisitions of Cloud Technology Partners and RedPixie.
HPE Container Platform software can be ordered early next year, along with advisory, consulting, deployment and support services from HPE.
