HK-listed gold stocks jump as US economic fears boost bullion prices
LAS VEGAS - Digital Realty, a global provider of data center solutions, will standardize its operations infrastructure on HPE Private Cloud Business Edition across more than 300 data centers in over 25 countries, HPE (NYSE:HPE) announced Wednesday. The deal comes as HPE, currently valued at $24 billion and maintaining a "GOOD" financial health score according to InvestingPro, continues to strengthen its position in the cloud solutions market.
The deployment aims to help Digital Realty manage growing data volumes while improving security and resilience at its facilities spanning six continents. The company selected HPE’s solution after evaluating several storage-only options, determining the fully integrated private cloud offering would best support its mission-critical operations software. Analysts appear confident in HPE’s strategic direction, with the stock currently trading below its Fair Value, according to InvestingPro’s valuation models.
"We own and operate world-edge data centers across a global footprint that requires a technology platform to scale with the growing demands of our customers," said Faramarz Mahdavi, vice president of IT infrastructure and operations at Digital Realty.
The implementation includes HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000, which HPE describes as "the industry’s first disaggregated, scale-out block storage with 100% availability guaranteed." HPE and World Wide Technology will collaborate on the global deployment.
According to HPE, its Private Cloud Business Edition can lower total cost of ownership by up to 2.5 times compared to competing solutions. The platform fully automates infrastructure setup and lifecycle management, which Digital Realty expects will improve operational efficiencies and workload management.
The announcement was made in a press release statement from HPE. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. HPE has demonstrated solid performance with 11.8% revenue growth over the last twelve months.
