Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and GE Digital announced a strategy to deliver new industrial Internet of Things (IoT) solutions leveraging Predix, GE’s cloud-based Platform-as-a-Service for the Industrial Internet.
As part of this agreement, HPE will be a preferred storage and server infrastructure provider for Predix cloud technologies. To enhance the service offering and accelerate time to market, HPE will provide support for the design, implementation and rollout of the Predix platform through its services and infrastructure offerings. GE will also leverage HPE technology for much of its virtual infrastructure as well as some OEM offerings.
Via the strategy, HPE will help power the Predix platform with its IoT-optimized hardware and software while the platform will be a preferred software solution for HPE for industrial-related use cases and opportunities. Additionally, HPE plans to certify 100 developers on Predix globally. The two companies will jointly develop long-term partnerships to support the aerospace, oil and gas, manufacturing, automotive and energy industries.
