HPE has announced\u00a0GreenLake Lighthouse, a new element of its\u00a0GreenLake portfolio<\/a>\u00a0that aims to reduce complexity when provisioning cloud services.<\/p>\n

Launched during HPE’s virtual Discover conference, Lighthouse is described by the company as a \u201csecure, cloud-native platform\u201d that will allow customers to provision new cloud services easily in just a few clicks, reducing the time they\u00a0wait between ordering and availability to just a few minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThe offering is built around Ezmeral, the software portfolio that formed\u00a0last year\u2019s big announcement at HPE Discover<\/a>, which the company says will \u201cautonomously optimise different cloud services and workloads\u201d depending on business priorities, be that the best performance, lowest cost, or a balance between the two.<\/p>\n

Lighthouse will also allow customers to run cloud services across a number of environments, including their own data centre, a colocation provider, or at the edge.<\/p>\n

While this is being positioned as a new product, it\u2019s not going to be a standalone service. Instead, it will be fully integrated into\u00a0GreenLake Central<\/a>, the console launched in 2019 that now forms the heart of\u00a0the GreenLake project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Project Aurora<\/h3>\n

Unveiled alongside GreenLake Lighthouse was Project Aurora, a new set of security capabilities that will be fully available at the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Aurora will bring\u00a0zero trust security<\/a>\u00a0to GreenLake, extending its existing silicon root-of-trust technology to the operating system or hypervisor, the platform the workload is running on, and the workload itself.<\/p>\n

Keith White, GM of HPE GreenLake, described it as a \u201cholistic security offering\u201d, adding: \u201cWe’re really excited about making sure that all these things are connected for our customers so that they have confidence that they’re secure from that supply chain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kumar Sreekanti, HPE\u2019s CTO and head of software, added: \u201cWhat we are providing is a chain of trust from Silicon to the workload all the way up. That’s the most important thing. And it is very, very hard for attackers to evade any of this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silicon on Demand<\/h3>\n

The final big product news from this year\u2019s conference was Silicon on Demand, a partnership with Intel that brings consumption-based provisioning and billing to individual cores.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists ahead of the first day of Discover, CEO Antonio Neri said: \u201cWhat that means is that with a single click, I can turn cores on and off. If I need more cores, I turn it on, if I need less cores, I turn it off.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, [the consumption-based model goes to] the virtual or the container level, now I’m taking it to a silicon level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neri said this was a significant development in helping combat the problem of excess hardware capacity \u201ctrapped in [customers\u2019] infrastructure\u201d.<\/p>\n

GreenLake Lighthouse and Silicon on Demand are both available immediately through GreenLake cloud services and GreenLake Cloud Platform respectively. Project Aurora is scheduled to become available in HPE GreenLake Lighthouse, HPE GreenLake cloud services and HPE Ezmeral software platforms later this year. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
