A strategic collaboration has been announced between Nokia and Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) to provide IoT solutions for enterprise customers. The joint offerings will combine connectivity, core networking, data aggregation and computer technologies from Nokia and HPE.
Under the partnership, both companies will jointly market and sell solutions for two IoT vertical enterprise segments: Industrial/manufacturing and Smart city applications, wherein 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.
At present, both companies are 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. Partnership on IoT extends the existing alliance between these two giants, which to date consist of end-to-end deals with 25 enterprise and service provider customers, and more than 30 proof-of-concepts.
