- Level 4
A management and consumption platform for HPE infrastructure. It gives one place to see, operate and pay for equipment that sits in your own building, which is how most organisations want cloud-style operation without moving their data anywhere.
The problem it solvesYou want cloud-style operation and billing, but the data has to stay in your building.
No payment is taken online. Every request is an enquiry answered by an engineer.
Where does this sit?
Enterprise. Four to eight enterprise accelerators in a rack chassis, sized for production load rather than experiments. Typically bought by an enterprise ai or platform team. Datacentre or a well-provisioned rack.
