HPE collaborates with Wipro to offer agility to customers

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Wipro have signed a new global go-to-market agreement to provide joint customers with on-premises IT infrastructure at flexible consumption-based pricing. This collaboration will leverage HPE’s Flexible Capacity and Wipro’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service offerings to address the increasing customer demand for consumption-based IT.

IT organizations are under pressure not only to ensure that day-to-day operations run smoothly, but also to deliver new applications, processes and services that allow businesses to innovate. Some enterprises have turned to the public cloud to fulfil these new demands, attracted by the IT-as-a-Service model that allows customers to pay as they go only for the technology resources that they use. While some workloads may be right for the public cloud, others – which may require higher security, compliance and service levels – are best kept on-premises. Through the new HPE and Wipro partnership, customers can take advantage of an on-premises solution that provides these benefits, along with the affordability of a pay-per-use model.

“Businesses need an agile IT foundation that can scale up quickly to accommodate growth and power new initiatives,” said Rajesh Dhar, Senior Director, Pointnext, Hewlett Packard Enterprise India. “Our collaboration with Wipro delivers the agility and economics of a public-cloud experience with the control and performance benefits of on-premises IT.”

As a unique Hybrid IT service, HPE Flexible Capacity is a strategic and high-growth component of HPE Pointnext, the recently redefined services organization with the expertise to make Hybrid IT simple and power the intelligent edge.

“We are very excited about our collaboration with Hewlett Packard Enterprise on the consumption-based IT model,” said Kiran Desai, Senior Vice-President and Head, Global Infrastructure Services, Wipro Limited. “We are confident that this business model will help us fulfil the requirements of our customers for truly on-demand, agile and secure IT infrastructure.”
