As enterprise computing product and services companies scramble to meet the diverse needs of large companies, vendors tend to add capabilities that extend their core strengths. HPE historically has been a hardware technology innovator that has evolved over the years to offer a wide range of products and services intended for enterprise environments. Whereas, Microsoft historically has been a business software system stalwart. With the Azure platform, the company seeks to extend that legacy leadership into cloud and edge computing environments.<\/p>\n

Cloud computing leverages massive data centers full of devices connected to high-speed networks in order to handle compute workload and storage. Importantly, many of the hardware details are abstracted away. Edge computing seeks to package much of this power into various smaller, more portable devices that can work in conjunction with cloud systems, but without necessarily needing an always-on link to a central system.<\/p>\n

HPE GreenLake and Azure Stack Edge represent different pieces of the overall edge-cloud computing solution. As a hardware device, Azure Stack Edge complements Microsoft\u2019s legacy software strengths. As an edge-to-cloud platform, GreenLake complements HPE\u2019s historic hardware strengths.<\/p>\n

What is HPE GreenLake?<\/h2>\n
\"HPE
HPE GreenLake promises a platform that lets companies configure cloud and edge capabilities and pay for what they use.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

HPE GreenLake<\/a> offers an edge-to-cloud platform intended to allow enterprises to run cloud services in a wide range of settings: On-premises, at the edge, in a colocation site and in the public cloud.<\/p>\n

The company offers solutions intended to meet needs for customers that desire solutions for a range of cloud and hybrid workloads, such as HPE GreenLake for Anthos for customers that prefer Google\u2019s platform; HPE GreenLake for Microsoft Azure Stack Hub; and HPE GreenLake for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI for customers that work in a range of Microsoft Azure on-premises, hybrid or cloud scenarios.<\/p>\n

What is Azure Stack Edge?<\/h2>\n
\"Azure
Various Azure Stack Edge devices may be deployed in different environments, such as a data center, branch location or a remote site.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Microsoft\u2019s Azure Stack Edge<\/a> describes a range of Azure managed devices that work with other Azure products but allows an organization to run apps and data locally. The Azure Stack Edge Series devices let an enterprise deploy compute and storage at the edge, rather than in a data center or public cloud. The company refers to the device as \u201chardware as a service\u201d that places processing power where you need it to run machine learning models, for example, then transfer data to Azure as appropriate.<\/p>\n
