Summary

Sean Foley from Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) discusses data modernization and hybrid cloud.
Data is crucial for innovation and decision-making in the digital economy.
Most enterprises face challenges in unlocking the value of data due to its criticality and gravity.
The world is hybrid, with only 30% of apps and data in the public cloud and 70% in other locations due to various reasons like data gravity and sovereignty.
HPE GreenLake offers a cloud experience everywhere, aiming to bring the agility of the cloud to data and applications wherever they reside.
HPE has a history of helping clients transition to a cloud-everywhere model and offers technology, platforms, and solutions to support this journey.
HPE GreenLake is a partnership with AWS, providing a consistent cloud operating model across all workloads and data.
The platform offers 70 services in 18 categories, focusing on data-first modernization from edge to cloud.

The emphasis on data modernization and hybrid cloud reflects the industry's recognition of the importance of data as a strategic asset and the need for flexible IT environments.
HPE's partnership with AWS indicates a trend towards collaboration between traditional IT service providers and public cloud providers to offer comprehensive hybrid solutions.
The focus on a consistent cloud operating model across all environments suggests that enterprises are looking for seamless integration and management of their IT resources, regardless of location.
The mention of data gravity and sovereignty as reasons for keeping data and applications off the public cloud highlights ongoing concerns about data management and regulatory compliance in a global context.
