Software-defined intelligence enables automated provisioning with repeatable templates that ensure high reliability, consistency and control – leading to lower operating expenses.
IT administrators can easily compose on-premises physical infrastructure. The physical infrastructure of the data centre is defined using software – making it programmable and able to be managed as code through one unified API.
HPE OneView provides IT administrators the ability to connect their software-defined infrastructure from core to cloud by provisioning turnkey private cloud infrastructure with a diverse partner ecosystem.

REI uses automation to rapidly respond to changing business needs
REI’s IT leadership advanced their systems to heightened automation, which allowed the Seattle-based merchandiser to turn on a dime and devote much more of its private cloud to the new e-commerce workload demands.
Challenge
Like many retailers, Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) was faced with drastic and rapid change when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. REI’s marketing leaders wanted to make sure that their online e-commerce capabilities would rise to the challenge.
Solution
REI used HPE OneView software defined automation to manage HPE Synergy infrastructure and use the open API to integrate with Ansible.
"As a result of our fully automated process, using Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OneView and Synergy, we were able to reallocate our compute hosts in 18 minutes, all at once. And that was done using single touch, launching the automation and then pulling them from one cluster and decommissioning them and placing them all the way into the digital retail clusters."
Result
The fully-automated HPE hosts (from bare metal to production-ready) took under 18 minutes using HPE OneView.
