Techstrong ITSM, Tuesday, December 31st, 2024
Add Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE) to the growing list of companies attempting to exploit fissures in the Broadcom-VMware merger to win over their customers grappling with changes in product, pricing and licensing. On Tuesday, HPE made a kernel-based virtual machine push as part of an ambitious AI play on Tuesday.
'We plan to catapult the enterprise of today to new heights,' Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. Antonio Neri said in the first keynote speech delivered at the futuristic Sphere in Las Vegas.
According to HPE, more than 70% of enterprises are pivoting to hybrid-cloud technology to accelerate internal innovation while enhancing operational efficiency and agility. Its argument is that hybrid cloud lets customers modernize their legacy IT environments while accelerating the adoption of AI and cloud-native technologies.
