Why Choose THNKBIG for HPE Kubernetes Consulting

As an HPE Partner based in the United States, THNKBIG brings deep GreenLake and Ezmeral expertise to enterprises across Texas, California, and nationwide. We have deployed over 50 Kubernetes environments on HPE infrastructure — from GreenLake consumption-based platforms for Houston energy companies to Ezmeral Container Platform deployments for San Francisco data science teams to bare-metal ProLiant clusters serving Dallas financial services firms. Our US-based engineers understand HPE unique approach to hybrid cloud: bringing cloud economics and operations to your data center while keeping data and workloads under your control.

What differentiates our HPE practice is our expertise across HPE complete container portfolio. GreenLake for Kubernetes delivers fully managed, consumption-based container platforms — we configure these for enterprises that want cloud-like operations without cloud-like data egress bills. Ezmeral Container Platform provides the enterprise features — data fabric, ML pipelines, and multi-tenancy — that data-intensive organizations require. We help you navigate HPE options and architect the right solution for your workloads, compliance requirements, and operational model.

For organizations in Austin, San Antonio, Los Angeles, and Ft Lauderdale evaluating infrastructure strategies, HPE offers compelling hybrid cloud capabilities. GreenLake Central provides unified management across on-premises and public cloud, while Aruba integration extends HPE reach to the network edge. We architect solutions that leverage HPE consumption-based pricing for predictable costs, integrate with existing enterprise systems, and scale from initial deployment to enterprise-wide platform. Whether you are modernizing legacy infrastructure or building greenfield platforms, our HPE expertise ensures your investment delivers maximum business value.

Our HPE Container Platform Expertise

Our engineering team holds HPE certifications and maintains active partnerships with HPE technical teams for GreenLake, Ezmeral, and infrastructure products. We have deployed Kubernetes on ProLiant servers across multiple generations, configured GreenLake consumption models for enterprises seeking OPEX-based infrastructure, and implemented Ezmeral data fabric for organizations with demanding ML/AI requirements. Our experience spans the full HPE compute portfolio from entry-level ProLiant to high-performance Superdome Flex.

We specialize in Ezmeral Container Platform for data-intensive workloads. Unlike pure-play Kubernetes distributions, Ezmeral includes a unified data fabric that spans Kubernetes clusters and legacy systems — critical for organizations that cannot refactor everything into cloud-native architectures overnight. Our implementations connect Ezmeral to enterprise data sources, configure ML pipelines for data science teams, and implement the multi-tenancy controls that enterprise security requires. We have built Ezmeral platforms for machine learning, real-time analytics, and data lake modernization across multiple industries.

For edge computing, we deploy HPE Edgeline servers with lightweight Kubernetes for distributed workloads. This includes integration with Aruba networking for edge-to-cloud connectivity, configuration of HPE edge management tools, and implementation of GitOps workflows that manage hundreds of edge locations from a central platform. Our implementations enable real-time processing for IoT, retail analytics, and industrial automation while maintaining the security and governance that enterprise IT requires.
