Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced that Lupin Limited (Lupin) has selected HPE Private Cloud Enterprise for a fully managed turnkey solution that modernises its private cloud infrastructure to accelerate innovation and enables them to seamlessly repatriate workloads from the public cloud.
Lupin, an existing HPE GreenLake cloud customer, has selected the HPE Private Cloud Enterprise solution to reduce its overall IT expenditure without compromising on the cloud experience. The integration of HPE’s solution will enable data sovereignty, operational efficiency, faster innovation, and energy efficiency.
HPE Managed Services will not only oversee SAP Business Suite 4 SAP HANA (SAP S/4 HANA) instances running on HPE systems but also manage the network and security setup in data centres for Lupin.
The implementation of HPE Private Cloud Enterprise will provide Lupin with several key benefits:
- Enhanced operational efficiency: By hosting core applications in data centres and edge applications at manufacturing plants, the platform will streamline operations, reduce downtime, and increase production efficiency. The private cloud’s templatised approach enables rapid rollouts and automates provisioning, significantly reducing repetitive tasks.
- Improved data sovereignty and security: Migrating public cloud workloads to an on-premises cloud will provide robust data protection and compliance with regulatory requirements, a critical factor for customer trust in the pharmaceutical industry. The solution’s application-aware, highly available infrastructure is designed with built-in security, providing Lupin a resilient and secure environment for critical workloads.
- Faster innovation cycles: The scalable and flexible nature of the private cloud will empower Lupin to innovate and launch new solutions faster, ensuring customers have quicker access to life-saving treatments. This agility will also empower the IT team to swiftly align its strategy with evolving business priorities and product mix.
- Localised insights for quality control: Edge applications will enhance real-time monitoring and analytics at manufacturing plants, improving quality assurance and ensuring consistent product excellence for end customers. By leveraging edge computing with centralised management, data can be processed locally at the edge while the control plane remains centralised, ensuring efficient oversight and streamlined operations.
- Sustainability and cost optimisation: By centralising and optimising workloads, the solution will reduce operational costs and carbon footprints, enabling Lupin to achieve more sustainable operations and pass on the benefits of efficiency and affordability to its customers. With a cost structure aligned to usage, the solution also addresses the business demand for application-level cost visibility, ensuring better financial oversight and accountability.
These benefits will collectively enhance the efficiency, security, and innovation of Lupin’s operational framework.
Commenting on the announcement, Ramesh Swaminathan, executive director, global chief financial officer (CFO) and head, API Plus SBU, Lupin, said, “HPE Private Cloud Enterprise is perfectly aligned with our business objectives, offering the flexibility, security, and efficiency needed to facilitate our growth and consistently provide high-quality products to our customers. It signifies a strategic move that promises efficiency and cost savings.”
Meanwhile, Som Satsangi, senior vice president (SVP) and managing director, HPE India, said, “Our partnership with Lupin reinforces our innovation and commitment to remaining the leader in hybrid and private cloud solutions. It demonstrates the value of our efforts and the trust our clients place in us. This collaboration underscores HPE’s commitment to enabling enterprises with cutting-edge cloud solutions that drive business success. As more organisations in India embrace private cloud for its security, control, and efficiency, HPE remains at the forefront of this digital shift.”
