HPE’s commitment to the Low-Carbon Patent Pledge
Under this initiative, innovators developing low-carbon technologies now have free access to patents from three of the world’s largest tech companies, as a commitment to help tackle climate change. The listed patents cover a broad range of preventative or adaptive technologies that can help combat climate change, including power management, enablement of zero-carbon energy sources, efficient data centre architecture, and thermal management.
As of today, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Facebook, and Microsoft are making available key patents to accelerate the adoption of low-carbon technologies. Under the HPE-led initiative, hundreds of patents that could support technologist develop low-carbon solutions for generating, sorting, and distributing low-carbon energy will be available royalty-free.
HPE shifts to TaaS to advance sustainability in the IT space
In a major transformation of their business model, HPE have committed to making their entire portfolio available as-a-service by 2022. By doing so HPE hope to build a more lasting engagement with their customers, maintain this relationship throughout their stewardship of the product they are using, and advance sustainability in IT significantly.
For the IT-related world, there are three main sustainable outcomes:
- The elimination of overprovisioning; a common practice in which companies “overbuy” IT
- Organisations freed from being chained to their IT kit for the whole of its lifecycle
- Taking back IT assets at the end of their use
TD SYNNEX and HPE already offer Lifecycle solutions under HPE’s Circular economy, which encompasses a complete asset lifecycle approach, with one of the key tenets being able to keep assets in use longer and reduce new raw material extractions whilst minimising e-waste potential. John Prosser, BDM responsible for the HPE Lifecycle solutions relationship at TD SYNNEX, says "partners are embracing the offering and end users are becoming more focused on corporate and social responsibility and we can help support them with this."
This has motivated HPE to partner with customers – from large corporations to small and medium businesses – to help them accelerate their digital transformation with innovative and sustainable IT management strategies.
