Las Vegas, June 9, 2016: Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has launched two converged systems that combine data management, control, compute and storage to tackle more Internet of Things (IoT) workloads.
The systems were launched at HPE’s Discover Conference in Las Vegas, USA.
The ‘Edgeline EL1000’ and ‘Edgeline EL4000,’ systems, said HPE, integrated data capture, control, compute and storage to deliver heavy-duty analytics and insights at the edge to enable real time decision making. In addition, HPE announced enhanced IoT security capabilities, new services and an industry leading partner ecosystem to advance the adoption and impact of the IoT.
HPE said its new IoT solutions would enable organisations to “harness the power of their data by delivering real time analytics and machine learning at the edge”, where the “things” were.
“Organisations that take advantage of the vast amount of data and run deep analytics at the edge can become digital disrupters within their industries,” said Dr Tom Bradicich, Vice President and General Manager, Servers and IoT Systems, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “HPE has built machine learning and real time analytics into its IoT platforms, and provides services that help customers understand how data can best be leveraged, enabling them to optimise maintenance management, improve operations efficiency and ultimately, drive significant cost savings.”
In addition, HPE announced today that the HPE Vertica Analytics Platform would run on the Edgeline EL4000, delivering historical and predictive analytic insights from in-database machine learning algorithms across a broad range of IoT analytic use cases. Vertica on Edgeline brought applied machine learning to the edge to deliver closed-loop analytics that enabled organisations to derive immediate insights from their IoT initiatives. In addition, to easily secure traffic back to the data centre, the EL1000 and EL4000 supported Aruba’s Virtual Intranet AccessTM (VIA) VPN client. Aruba’s VIATM provided organisations an automated, zero-touch, secure VPN, and is available for both commercial and high-security government IoT applications.
IoT Expertise – Helping Customers Transform, Design and Run IoT
HPE also introduced the HPE IoT Transformation workshop (TW), an interactive HPE facilitated workshop that will help customers to define their IoT vision and strategy and gain business technology alignment. The IoT TW was the first step in a full suite of services designed to help customers successfully implement IoT solutions based on business needs and industry parameters.
HPE also announced four IoT Innovation Labs and expertise across the globe. HPE and Intel will operate these labs to help customers envision how IoT can be applied in their industry, build and test IoT applications, and access technical expertise.
