New HPE GreenLake VDI cloud services provide solutions optimized
for each type of remote worker, leveraging partnerships with
Citrix, Nutanix, NVIDIA, and VMware
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today announced new HPE
GreenLake cloud services and partnerships for Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) that support organizations’ expanding remote
workforces and provide essential business continuity. The new HPE
GreenLake for VDI cloud services provide organizations with a
proven set of technologies to adapt to a rapidly growing remote
employee population through simplified management, faster time to
productivity, more security and control, and cost savings. The new
cloud services also leverage technologies from key HPE partners
including Citrix, Nutanix, NVIDIA, and VMware.
According to IDC, “Pre COVID-19, only 20% of organizations had
at-home workers. But over half of organizations expect to have
employees working from home at the end of 2020.”1 A recent study by
Gartner also showed that almost half of employers now see remote
working as part of their go-forward model, up from less than a
third before the pandemic – and around 80% of employees would like
to work remotely some of the time.
HPE provides industry-leading cloud services and solutions that
empower organizations to re-think the way people work, including
from home and on mobile devices, by delivering a secure,
customized, productive, and exceptional user experience to
employees. In April, HPE announced a series of VDI offerings that
enable customers to adapt to a growing remote workforce, and today
HPE is winning a significant number of new customers for VDI
initiatives across a range of industries, including recently
announced wins with Kern County and Petsure. Today’s announcement
builds on this momentum, with the delivery of specialized VDI
offerings to support specific roles and use cases, and expanded
partnerships that provide complete solutions to customers.
With HPE GreenLake for VDI, customers can select the type of
workers they want to support in their organization and the size of
their remote workforce. Based on that, HPE offers customers the
right mix of computers and devices, and delivers services in
modules optimized for each user type, as a service. The new
designed VDI configurations are optimized for each type of remote
worker, including knowledge users, task users, power users, and
engineering users, and the right configuration is priced, built,
and shipped in predefined 100-300-500-1000 sizes. Customers are
billed monthly based on usage, and can scale up or down as needed.
This enables secure remote working optimized for all types of
workers in an organization:
- Power users, such as application developers, who need
more intensive use of office applications, have mid-level graphics
requirements or multiple screens –now can have their applications
delivered in a persistent or non-persistent model using HPE
ProLiant servers or HPE Nimble Storage dHCI hyperconverged systems
and NVIDIA GPUs coupled with NVIDIA Virtual PC software.
- Engineering workers, who are professionals with
intensive graphics or data analysis requirements such as CAD/CAE
users or financial traders, will now benefit from GPU-assisted
compute and from storing data on high performance storage located
close to compute resources to minimize latency, using HPE ProLiant
servers or HPE Nimble Storage dHCI hyperconverged systems and
NVIDIA GPUs coupled with NVIDIA Virtual Workstation software.
- Knowledge workers, with predominant use of office
productivity applications and browsing, can be scalable to hundreds
of thousands of users through using HPE ProLiant servers, HPE
Nimble Storage dHCI or HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged systems.
- Task workers, who typically use a small number of low
compute-intensive applications such as call center representatives,
now can use HPE ProLiant servers or HPE Nimble Storage dHCI
hyperconverged systems.
“Our clients are wrestling with the sudden move to working from
home caused by the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Keith White, Senior
Vice President and General Manager of HPE GreenLake Cloud Services.
“Beyond the initial measures that we all had to take, organizations
are now thinking more strategically in the new normal post-pandemic
working world, and asking for our help to shape what the future
workplace looks like. With HPE GreenLake for VDI, we can deliver
standardized, tested solutions as a service that improve security
and productivity while reducing cost and simplifying
management.”
Expanding HPE Ecosystem of Partners
HPE is expanding the way that customers can purchase HPE
GreenLake for VDI through its ecosystem of partners. In addition to
offering VDI from Citrix, HPE now can include VMware Horizon, as
many customers have standardized on one or both, as well as NVIDIA
virtual GPU (vGPU) technology for the more demanding workloads.
Customers can also choose to leverage the popular Nutanix
hyperconverged (HCI) software to deliver VDI services with HPE
GreenLake. Also available as part of the HPE ProLiant server
family, HPE ProLiant DX powered by Nutanix software enables
customers to build their private and hybrid clouds with simplified
infrastructure management and the added consumption flexibility of
HPE GreenLake.
"Work is no longer a place as large numbers of employees
continue to work productively from anywhere – whether in their
homes, public spaces and as needed from socially distanced offices.
Regardless of where they happen to be, employees need secure and
reliable access to the systems and applications they need to get
work done, along with a consistent experience that minimizes
distractions and interruptions so they can perform at their best,"
said Liz Fuller, VP Alliance Marketing, Citrix. "HPE has chosen
Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop service as a leading solution to
help customers get the best of both worlds in a flexible,
pay-per-use and hybrid way of working with HPE GreenLake."
“The appeal and even the necessity of VDI has strengthened
across organizations everywhere due to the increased need to
accommodate remote workers. We are proud to support these evolving
requirements by partnering with HPE and enabling customers’ virtual
desktop environments with VMware Horizon to be more intelligent –
providing simplified management, more security, better cost
efficiency and better user experience than ever before,” said
Bharath Rangarajan, Vice President, Product Management, End-User
Computing, VMware. “We look forward to helping organizations
leverage innovative VDI solutions to meet even their most
stringent, security-focused business requirements.”
“Nutanix has helped power virtual desktop infrastructure
(VDI)-centric Digital Workspaces for thousands of organizations and
millions of end users thanks to our innovative Hybrid Cloud
Infrastructure software architecture delivering security,
performance, reliability and flexibility,” said Tarkan Maner, Chief
Commercial Officer at Nutanix. “Nutanix hybrid and multicloud
solutions, in conjunction with HPE GreenLake, offer organizations
complete choice in consumption and operating models enabling
businesses to continue operations during the pandemic and beyond.
Nutanix and HPE have seen a successful ramp of our partnership over
the past year and look forward to tremendous growth ahead.”
“VDI solutions that enable graphics-intensive work for power
users as well as creative and technical professionals are needed
now more than ever as many employees work from home,” said Anne
Hecht, Senior Director of Product Marketing for GPU Virtualization
Software at NVIDIA. “HPE GreenLake VDI as a service supports NVIDIA
vGPU to give users access to virtual desktops and workstations with
the performance they need to work from anywhere.”
Furthermore, HPE’s ecosystem includes the leading system
integrators who have chosen to implement their services using HPE
GreenLake. Partners such as Wipro and Accenture, offer their own
advanced workplaces services leveraging HPE GreenLake. Today HPE
also announced a partnership with Wipro to deliver hybrid cloud and
VDI solutions as a service through HPE GreenLake.
