Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is making it easier for small businesses and remote office locations to focus on driving growth and make digital transformation a reality with new technologies that are simple to setup, highly secure and automated. The latest HPE Small Business Solutions include the next-generation HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus, featuring industry-leading automation, remote management, and security capabilities, and Intel Pentium and Intel Xeon E processors.
“Digital transformation is becoming a key part of IT strategy for small to mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and we expect two-thirds of SMBs to embrace it by 2023,” said Shari Lava, research director, SMB Research Program, IDC. “SMBs are looking for easy-to-manage solutions that can scale as needed. Solutions, such as this one from HPE, addresses this demand with small businesses by delivering enterprise-grade technologies, which combine servers, software, networking and cloud capabilities that are easier for small business to adopt and manage regardless of their in-house IT capabilities.”
In addition to enhanced, enterprise-grade solutions, HPE is further accelerating digital transformation for SMBs through its partner ecosystem that is equipped to enable impactful experiences to customers, and financial support provided by HPE Financial Subscription Services2, a program that delivers flexible payment services to customers to easily adopt HPE technologies at a predictable low monthly cost.
“We are committed to helping small businesses innovate, serve their customers, and drive growth and digital disruption by empowering them with enterprise-class technologies that uniquely address their needs for IT expertise, budget and space,” said Tim Peters, vice president and general manager, Global SMB & Mid-Market, at HPE.
“The design of our latest HPE MicroServer and strategic pricing model was inspired by our SMB customers to meet their expectations for the most economical, secure and easy-to-manage solutions that supports their entire business operation,” he said.
The new HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus weighs only 10 pounds and is a third of the size of existing server market offerings3, allowing it to be light enough to carry and be placed in any-sized environment. Through a monthly subscription-based service, customers with any business goal can adopt it for less than $20 / month and gain the following capabilities that enable faster performance, data protection, automation and ease-of-management tailored to small business needs and scale.
Partners and customers can select the new HPE MicroServer as the entry point for the HPE Small Office Deployment solution – a small office-in-a-box solution, for complete small office technology foundation. These include the Aruba Instant On family of indoor/outdoor Wi-Fi access points for small businesses, and the HPE RDX Removable Disk System that easily scales for local file and storage backup, and recovery support.
SMB remains one of the core priorities for HPE’s channel-led business. HPE is offering partners with access to SMB-specific sales and technical enablement, as well as learning and collaboration opportunities such as with the HPE Tech Pro Community, an exclusive community focused on technical advancement for partner solution architects.
HPE is also investing significant resources in incentivizing and enabling partners to address SMB customer needs, while enhancing experience and ease of doing business for both partners and customers. The HPE MicroServer is a testament to this commitment and allows partners to accelerate a customer’s digital transformation journey and benefit from industry-leading technologies that are offered in a new monthly subscription model.
