Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced the expansion of its HPE GreenLake platform with a new fully managed colocation infrastructure service, enabling enterprises to run hybrid workloads in third-party data centers while maintaining cloud-like control and flexibility.
This new offering is aimed at businesses seeking cloud agility without migrating mission-critical workloads out of secure, compliant colocation environments. It blends the as-a-service model of HPE GreenLake with turnkey deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management in top-tier colocation facilities.
🧰 Key Features:
- Fully managed compute, storage, and networking infrastructure delivered via HPE GreenLake
- Colocation partnerships with Equinix, Digital Realty, and other global providers
- Integrated AI-powered observability, billing, and capacity planning tools
- Data sovereignty, security, and compliance maintained on customer terms
- Rapid workload mobility across on-prem, colo, and public cloud using HPE Ezmeral and Aruba networking
“This new service gives customers the freedom to modernize in place—leveraging the power of GreenLake without relocating their data,” said Antonio Neri, President and CEO of HPE.
🌍 Why It Matters:

The service is available immediately in North America and parts of Europe, with Asia-Pacific deployments expected by early 2026.
