Leverage efficient product design
We take a holistic approach to product design that results in fewer material inputs, lower product power consumption, and minimized waste–reducing total cost of ownership for you to contribute to a more circular economy.
Embrace new business models
Consume IT as a service to take advantage of the latest technologies and asset lifecycle management services. With HPE GreenLake, you pay only for what you use and get capacity when you need it without the consumption of unnecessary assets.
Extend asset life
One of the key tenets of the circular economy is to keep assets in use longer to reduce new raw material extraction and minimize e-waste potential. HPE Asset Upcycling Services can maximize end-of-use asset value and provide money back for other innovation projects.
