Nokia and Hewlett Packard Enterprise expand collaboration on Enterprise of Things.
-
Companies will focus on IoT solutions for smart city and industrial/manufacturing customers, with initial offerings planned for early 2017
-
Partnership strengthens portfolios of both companies and go-to-market capabilities in market forecast to reach 161 billion USD by 20201
-
Current partnership includes deals with more than 25 service provider and enterprise customers
Espoo,
Finland and Palo Alto, Calif. - Nokia and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise
(HPE) today announced a strategic collaboration on Internet of Things
(IoT) solutions for enterprise customers.
The
companies will jointly market and sell solutions for two IoT vertical
enterprise segments, including industrial/manufacturing and smart city
applications. They will provide industrial/manufacturing customers with
solutions for asset management, smart manufacturing, remote site
automation and predictive maintenance, and enhanced networking choices
for improved connectivity for smart city solutions, such as smart
lighting and smart buildings.
According
to research firm Markets and Markets, the IoT market for smart cities
and manufacturing will reach USD 161 billion by 2020. The markets will
grow as manufacturing companies use IoT to improve productivity in the
production process and the supply chain, and as cities with growing
populations use IoT to improve operational efficiency, maintain and
protect their infrastructure, and operate in a sustainable manner.
The
joint offerings combine connectivity, core networking, data aggregation
and compute technologies from Nokia and HPE. The companies are
currently working on a proof-of-concept for smart cities, combining
Nokia's routing capabilities with HPE's Hybrid IT capabilities for joint
project delivery models.
The
IoT partnership extends the existing collaboration between the two
organizations, which to date includes end-to-end deals with 25 enterprise and service provider customers, and more than 30 proof-of-concepts.
Kathrin Buvac, chief strategy officer at Nokia, said: "We
are pleased to extend our partnership with HPE into the IoT space.
HPE's market presence offers Nokia expedited and increased access to the
enterprise market and target verticals along with a complimentary
portfolio of products and services."
Antonio Neri, executive vice president, Head of Enterprise Group at HPE, said:
"The addition of Nokia to the HPE IoT partner ecosystem will bring
broader choice and market-leading technologies to our joint customers.
HPE and Nokia have a long history of innovation that will help our
customers through their journey of digitization."
HPE has joined Nokia's IoT Community (www.iotcommunity.com),
an ecosystem of innovative companies collaborating on solution
concepts, end-to-end prototypes, business models and market trials that
will unleash the full potential of IoT. Nokia is joining part of HPE's
IoT initiative within HPE's industry leading Partner Ready program.
The joint solutions will be ready to market from early 2017 onwards.
