HPE Container Platform leverages BlueData, MapR, and Kubernetes
for a faster path to application modernization – with greater
agility, lower costs, and enterprise-grade security
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) today announced the HPE
Container Platform, the industry’s first enterprise-grade
Kubernetes-based container platform designed for both cloud-native
applications and monolithic applications with persistent storage.
With the HPE Container Platform, enterprise customers can
accelerate application development for new and existing apps –
running on bare-metal or virtualized infrastructure, on any public
cloud, and at the edge.
The HPE Container Platform is built on proven innovations from
HPE’s acquisitions of BlueData and MapR, together with 100 percent
open source Kubernetes. This next-generation solution dramatically
reduces cost and complexity by running containers on bare-metal –
while providing the flexibility to deploy on virtual machines and
cloud instances. Customers benefit from greater efficiency, higher
utilization, and improved performance by “collapsing the stack” and
eliminating the need for virtualization.
The new platform uniquely addresses the requirements for
large-scale enterprise Kubernetes deployments across a wide range
of use cases, from machine learning and edge analytics to CI/CD
pipelines and application modernization. IT teams can manage
multiple Kubernetes clusters with multi-tenant container isolation
and pre-integrated persistent storage. Developers have secure
on-demand access to their environments so they can develop apps and
release code faster, with the portability of containers to build
once and deploy anywhere.
“Application development is migrating to containers, and
Kubernetes is the de facto standard for container orchestration,”
said Kumar Sreekanti, senior vice president and chief technology
officer of Hybrid IT at HPE. “We’re combining our expertise and
intellectual property from recent acquisitions together with open
source Kubernetes to deliver an unmatched enterprise-class
container platform. Our container-first approach will provide
enterprises with a faster and lower cost path to application
modernization, optimized for bare-metal and extensible to any
infrastructure from edge to cloud.”
Enterprise organizations today recognize that in order to
transform and compete in their industry, they need to innovate
faster and modernize their applications. To increase the velocity
of new application development and drive digital innovation,
they’re using containers and Kubernetes to build cloud-native
applications with a microservices architecture. Industry analyst
research validates this rapid growth for container adoption in the
enterprise:
- Gartner estimates that more than 75 percent of global
organizations will be running containerized applications in
production by 2022, up from less than 30 percent today1
- IDC research shows that 55 percent of large U.S. enterprises
have standardized on Kubernetes for container orchestration2
- A recent 451 Research survey indicates that 95 percent of new
applications will use containers3
As these organizations extend their use of containers and
Kubernetes beyond development and testing to production
environments, they need to address key considerations including
security, multi-cluster management and load balancing. New use
cases are emerging for edge computing, databases, and more. In
addition, a significant portion of their enterprise applications
and systems are not cloud-native – these traditional monolithic
applications are costly to maintain and many of them would benefit
from containerization. But re-architecting or refactoring existing
applications as cloud-native is time-consuming and expensive. And
these applications have requirements that remain challenging with
Kubernetes, such as root filesystem persistence and migration.
The HPE Container Platform is a turnkey solution that uniquely
addresses these challenges, with BlueData software as the control
plane for container management, the MapR distributed file system
for persistent data with containers, and Kubernetes for container
orchestration. This breakthrough approach extends the benefits of
containers beyond cloud-native microservices-architected
applications, providing the ability to containerize non
cloud-native monolithic applications with persistent data
storage.
The key benefits of the HPE Container Platform include:
- Modernizes non cloud-native monolithic applications without
re-architecting them, elevating the experience to modern cloud
standards.
- Provides the ability to build applications once and run them
anywhere, bridging the gap between on-premises, public clouds and
the edge.
- Improves productivity for developers and delivers new code
releases faster, with simplified Kubernetes deployment and
multi-cluster management.
- Ensures enterprise-class security, performance, and reliability
at lower cost, with bare-metal containers and data
persistence.
This new solution complements existing HPE services to assist
customers with container strategies, application modernization, and
hybrid cloud deployments. HPE Pointnext provides advisory and
consulting services built upon experience from over one thousand
hybrid cloud engagements, with expertise and best practices from
the acquisitions of Cloud Technology Partners and RedPixie.
Availability
HPE Container Platform software will be orderable in early 2020
along with world-class advisory, consulting, deployment, and
support services from HPE.
