The higher workload performance allows for a 66 percent boost in memory bandwidth and doubles the memory capacity.

  • Increased administrator efficiency – HPE OneView is integrated into the HPE ProLiant for Microsoft Azure Stack platform, enabling customers to automate tasks and gain insights.  The OneView dashboards provide real-time status information and alerts, which are instrumental for tracking and maintaining the health of the platform.
  • Pay-as-you-consume pricing – With HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, customers can take advantage of cloud-style economics to pay for on-premises infrastructure that is used today, along with a buffer to grow into and to be paid for when it is used.

“Microsoft is focused on solving the needs of our customers as they move to the hybrid cloud with a consistent architectural approach. Microsoft Azure Stack is a key offering to support execution of that focus,” said Tad Brockway, General Manager of Azure Storage at Microsoft. “We’re building on our strong partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to bring Azure Stack to market and are excited with the multiple advancements included in the new Gen10 version of HPE ProLiant for Microsoft Azure Stack.”

Enterprises are demanding a complete hybrid cloud solution to meet their key use cases. As the most configurable solution available, HPE ProLiant for Microsoft Azure Stack is a leading hybrid cloud solution for global customers.
