HPE Unleashes Breakthrough AI Based BlueData On Apollo

Just five months after completing the acquisition of BlueData, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Tuesday unleased a new version of its artificial intelligence BlueData big data-as-a-service offering that runs on its high performance Apollo systems backed up by HPE Pointnext deployment services. With the new offering, HPE said BlueData software subscriptions can be ordered with HPE Apollo server and storage infrastructure in a variety of configurations. The new offering is available in the United States, United Kingdom/Ireland, Germany, France and Singapore. "The message is if you have a AI/data science expertise and you are in the five countries we are doing business in, we absolutely want you to be participating in the HPE channel with this technology stack," said Patrick Osborne, vice president and general manager of big data and secondary storage for Hewlett Packard Enterprise. In fact, the new integrated offering signals the start of a partner recruitment offensive aimed at driving high margin, recurring revenue big data opportunities for the channel.
