Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) (ticker: HPE) has announced the launch of its comprehensive Partner Ready Vantage program, designed to streamline partner engagement and maximize growth opportunities. The new initiative, set to begin on November 1, consolidates existing programs to offer flexible participation and comprehensive support. By incorporating partner feedback and HPE's award-winning best practices, the unified program aims to equip partners with the necessary expertise to effectively manage HPE's portfolio, from compute to storage and networking.
The Partner Ready Vantage program simplifies the process for partners by providing a single compensation model and consistent experience across all program tracks—Build, Sell, and Service. Participants can choose to develop or integrate solutions, resell consumption solutions or HPE technologies, and deliver additional services under their own brand or the HPE brand, thus maximizing their revenue potential. Key areas of focus include private cloud, HPE GreenLake Flex, hybrid cloud operations, and SASE.
HPE has introduced new, specialized competencies and certifications to enhance partner capabilities. These include the HPE Solutions for AI competency, which allows partners to work on private cloud AI using NVIDIA technologies; the HPE Solutions for Sovereign Cloud competency, which equips partners to navigate regulatory compliance and data security; and certifications like the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials for expanded skills in virtualization.
In addition, HPE is rolling out the CloudPhysics Plus assessment tool to help partners optimize IT estates across various environments and a rapid migration tool to facilitate seamless workload migrations. As HPE continues to expand AI opportunities, partner reach is being extended to 20 additional countries. This supports the development of AI practices with a focus on real-world applications facilitated by updated AI Acceleration Workshops and collaborations with NVIDIA experts.
HPE Financial Services is also offering a limited-time, reduced-rate financing option for partners using the HPE Private Cloud AI developer system, aiding in AI development and reducing upfront costs.
With HPE’s new initiatives and comprehensive training, partners are well-positioned to drive outstanding customer outcomes and capture new markets across AI, cloud, and IT services.
