Kubernetes for Bare Metal and Edge to Cloud
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is launching the industry's first Kubernetes-based container platform designed for both cloud-native and monolithic applications with persistent data storage.
HPE Container Platform enables enterprises to accelerate the development of new and existing applications - on bare metal or within virtualized infrastructures, in the public cloud and in edge environments.
The HPE Container Platform is based on the technologies of BlueData and MapR, which were acquired by HPE, in conjunction with the open-source Kubernetes system.
The solution dramatically reduces cost and complexity by running containers on bare metal - while providing the flexibility to deploy on virtual machines and cloud instances.
Customers benefit from greater efficiency, higher utilization and improved performance by reducing the number of stacks and eliminating the need for virtualization.
