HPE Private Cloud Business Edition offers Digital Realty scalable, self-managed private cloud to ensure continuous secure operations at data centers worldwide

  • Digital Realty to standardize on the HPE Private Cloud Business Edition for its mission-critical operations across more than 300 data centers on six continents
  • Adoption will enable Digital Realty to meet the growing performance, workload and data processing requirements from their customers including some of the world’s largest enterprises, global hyperscalers and Fortune 10s

HPE (NYSE: HPE) today announced that Digital Realty, a leading global provider of cloud- and carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions, will power exponential demand for its services by standardizing its worldwide data center operations infrastructure on HPE Private Cloud Business Edition. The deployment will ensure Digital Realty can handle massive data volumes while achieving simplified management, security, and resilience at more than 300 data centers across more than 25 countries on six continents.

“We own and operate world-edge data centers across a global footprint that requires a technology platform to scale with the growing demands of our customers. HPE Private Cloud Business Editon brings our vision to life through efficient scaling and streamlined management of infrastructure delivered with a predictable total cost of ownership (TCO),” said Faramarz Mahdavi, vice president, IT infrastructure and operations, Digital Realty. “HPE’s innovation pipeline for its private cloud solutions ensures this is a future-ready platform that enables us to focus on helping global enterprises innovate.”

The modernization will also help Digital Realty improve operational efficiencies and workload management for its mission-critical operations software, all while minimizing costs. HPE fully automates infrastructure setup and lifecycle management, which enables Digital Realty to focus less on infrastructure and more on business outcomes for its customers.

“Digital Realty has been an exceptional technology and colocation partner for HPE, and their endorsement as a customer demonstrates the tremendous trust they have placed in HPE and our private cloud technologies,” said Cheri Williams, senior vice president and general manager for private cloud and flex solutions at HPE. “We’re honored that Digital Realty is one of the many leading enterprises that is choosing HPE Private Cloud Business Edition as the flexible, resilient, and cost-effective, self-managed solution for mission-critical, hybrid workloads.”

Research shows HPE Private Cloud Business Edition lowers TCO by up to 2.5X versus competing solutions1. Customers can expect even easier management and lower TCO with an upgrade to HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software and the disaggregated architecture of HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.

Advancing a cutting-edge data center footprint

Working with trusted HPE solution provider partner Infradax, Digital Realty evaluated several storage-only solutions before determining HPE’s fully integrated, software-as-a-service (SaaS) delivered private cloud solution provided the most efficient and effective solution for managing the company’s mission-critical data center operations software. The single-intuitive interface of Business Edition means that they can easily manage and offer secure, reliable, high-performance services at its data centers anywhere in the world. HPE and World Wide Technology (WWT) will collaborate to support deployment across Digital Realty’s global footprint.

To gain the latest platform innovations, such as the industry’s first disaggregated, scale-out block storage with 100% availability guaranteed, Digital Realty selected the new HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 in its Business Edition deployment to gain significant ease of use and TCO benefits2.

Selecting the Business Edition with the HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 supplies Digital Realty with a robust data storage foundation that leverages the power of predictive analytics, cross-stack visibility, enhanced reporting, and detailed performance insights—all integrated with seamless management and cloud operational experience.
