By using the HPE Greenlake cloud platform for its Wpay business, Woolworths builds on its long-term relationship with the enterprise tech company.
Woolworths Group has announced that Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s (HPE) GreenLake cloud platform is being used to underpin its new standalone Wpay payments business. Using Greenlake, according to Woolworths, has enabled the company to shift from its current data centre environment to an end-to-end-as-a-service cloud solution that enables greater capacity and business continuity. Under the partnership, Woolworths also has access to HPE’s cloud portfolio including Aruba, Nonstop, Primera, Synergy, and Pointnext Services. Partnering with HPE on Wpay builds on Woolworth Group’s existing relationship with the tech giant that has been ongoing since 2007. The retail group already uses HPE’s infrastructure and managed services to support its supermarkets and Big W department stores. « As Australia and New Zealand’s largest retailer, we’ve been investing in leading-edge payment capabilities to service our retail businesses for many years, » Woolworths Stores and Payments IT general manager Angelo Clayton said.
