Hewlett Packard’s split into two companies has advanced the company’s culture to benefit its customers, according to Alastair Winner, VP of technology services for compute at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. (HPE). Now, he said, the company not only parachutes in when something is broken or malfunctioning, it sees itself as partners in its clients’ success.

Winner told John Furrier and Dave Vellante of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, during HPE Discover 2015 in London how the company has grown during the past year. Last May, HPE announced several transformation areas it would focus on, and now they are coming to fruition.

The company is committed to taking customers through the journey to hybrid cloud, Winner said, and to that end, finding the right mix of technologies is paramount.

Synergy bridges the gap between old and new

HPE’s new Synergy is a “composable” infrastructure architecture that allows customers a high degree of flexibility, said Winner. It allows customers to individualize their hybrid from existing and new cloud technologies.

“The way we bridge those two worlds is through software defined and infrastructure as code,” he stated. HPE built new architecture for Synergy and aims to impress with its comprehensiveness and user friendliness.  “Out of the box, its infrastructure as code, so it’s a truly software defined system,” said Winner.
