Hybrid cloud automation

What is hybrid cloud automation?

The Importance of Hybrid Cloud Automation

Hybrid cloud automation is critical in today’s digital landscape for several reasons:

• Boosts efficiency and productivity: By automating repetitive tasks, IT personnel can focus on strategic initiatives, leading to increased application productivity and faster time-to-market.
• Ensures consistency and reliability: Automation reduces human error and standardizes processes, minimizing configuration mistakes that can lead to operational failures.
• Provides scalable solutions: Dynamic, automatic scaling adjusts resources in real time based on demand, ensuring optimal performance and cost control.
• Optimizes cost management: Automated resource allocation prevents waste and overprovisioning, reducing unnecessary expenses, particularly with fluctuating workloads.
• Enhances security and compliance: Automated enforcement of security policies, regular patch management, and compliance monitoring minimize vulnerabilities and reduce the risk of breaches.
• Improves collaboration and integration: A unified automation framework integrates public, private, and on-premises environments, fostering collaboration across development, operations, and security teams.
• Accelerates deployment and innovation: CI/CD pipeline automation speeds up software releases, enabling rapid innovation and agile responses to market demands.
• Strengthens disaster recovery and business continuity: Automated backup, failover, and recovery processes ensure minimal downtime and robust disaster recovery, preserving business continuity.

HPE offers a comprehensive hybrid cloud automation solution by integrating HPE GreenLake cloud, Morpheus, and OpsRamp. These solutions automate hybrid cloud provisioning, orchestration, monitoring, and administration for efficiency, scalability, and security.

• HPE GreenLake cloud: Delivers on-demand cloud services to on-premises systems, enabling dynamic IT resource scaling. With automated provisioning and a self-service portal, HPE GreenLake streamlines resource requests and optimizes capacity management based on real-time demand.
• Morpheus: This unified orchestration platform simplifies hybrid and multi-cloud administration. It simplifies application and infrastructure deployment and administration across cloud platforms for a uniform user experience. Integration of self-service with DevOps allows smooth provisioning and CI/CD pipeline automation, speeding development. Policy-based automation applies governance, compliance, and security requirements to deploy resources according to company policies.
• OpsRamp: This digital operations management software monitors, manages incidents, and automates IT. Unified monitoring tracks infrastructure and application performance in real time, while automated incident management fixes issues automatically. IT operations automation optimizes patch management, software upgrades, and compliance checks for high availability and security. Automatic service health dashboards enable proactive IT optimization in real time.
• Zerto: In addition to its renowned disaster recovery capabilities, Zerto enhances hybrid cloud automation with features designed to streamline continuous data protection and workload synchronization. By automating replication across on-premises and cloud environments, Zerto ensures that data is consistently updated and readily available. Its automated failover and failback processes, combined with non-disruptive testing and real-time monitoring, reduce manual intervention and minimize downtime. This integrated automation not only bolsters resilience and regulatory compliance but also optimizes resource allocation, making Zerto an essential solution for organizations looking to achieve efficient, cost-effective hybrid cloud operations.

HPE's hybrid cloud automation solution connects these platforms to boost operational efficiency, eliminate human tasks, and improve cloud governance.
