Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) struck a deal with Interxion to host its GreenLake cloud service in Europe. The launch will see the GreenLake service run out of Interxion’s Ireland operations, with plans to “quickly expand” that reach to the U.K., Germany, France, and The Netherlands.

The European expansion will begin with Interxion offering HPE GreenLake cloud services for private cloud with containers or virtual machines (VMs), and data center infrastructure. They will be offered through HPE and its channel partners and new customers will have 90 days of free access to the service.

HPE last month launched its GreenLake cloud services across container management, machine learning (ML) operations, VMs, storage, compute, data protection, and networking. Those cloud services are accessible via a self-service, point-and-click catalog on GreenLake Central, which provides visibility and consistent management across customers’ hybrid IT environments.

GreenLake is HPE’s consumption-based, as-a-service portfolio. It was initially announced at HPE’s Discover event in 2019, and tied into the vendor’s pledge to have its entire portfolio offered through an as-a-service model by 2022.

The portfolio has already had a significant impact at HPE.

Keith White, SVP and GM of GreenLake Cloud Services, recently explained that the platform accounted for more than $4 billion in total contract value, about 850 enterprise customers worldwide, and more than 700 partners were selling GreenLake. And while all of HPE’s sectors saw revenue declines related to the global COVID-19 pandemic during its most recent operating quarter, GreenLake witnessed a 17% annual revenue run-rate growth to $520 million during the quarter.

Interxion was acquired late last year by rival Digital Realty for about $8.4 billion. That move bolstered San Francisco-based Digital Realty’s European footprint to better compete against colocation market leader Equinix.

Interxion at that time controlled 53 facilities in 11 European countries and 13 metro areas including Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Paris, and Interxion’s Internet Gateway in Marseille, France.

Digital Reality around the same time as the Interxion acquisition announced an edge computing partnership with Vapor IO. That deal will see Digital Realty will roll out Vapor IO’s Kinetic Edge Exchange (KEX) software-defined interconnection technology in its Chicago and Atlanta data centers first, and it will eventually deploy the interconnection technology in all of its U.S. colocation facilities.
