Octo8 recovery sites are delivered on HPE infrastructure, not on shared public cloud capacity. HPE Private Cloud brings the cloud experience to where your recovery environment needs to live — a colocation facility, a second site you already have, or a location your data rules require — with economics that stay predictable.
As an HPE Partner, Octo8 sizes each environment to your approved recovery plan, sources it through HPE, and tests it. HPE delivers and supports the platform. The same platform serves as a sovereign recovery site for organizations that govern their own data.
Start a conversationDisaster recovery is a steady, predictable workload. That is where dedicated private cloud fits better than metered public cloud.
| Dimension | Public Cloud (AWS / GCP) | Other Private Cloud Providers | HPE |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data sovereignty | Shared infrastructure. Data subject to hyperscaler terms of service. | Partial. Sovereignty controls vary by provider; reliability track records differ. | Full control. Your premises, your colocation, or fully air-gapped. Runs disconnected. |
| AI on your data | Public model exposure. Community and proprietary data at risk. | Proprietary AI stacks. Often locks you into a single vendor's ecosystem. | NVIDIA-native local inference. Sovereign AI. No public-model contact. |
| Economics | Unpredictable egress fees. Metered model misaligned to persistent workloads. | Complex pricing tiers. Optimized for existing vendor-ecosystem shops. | Pay-per-use, subscription, or purchase — your choice. No egress costs. |
| Run by your team | Your team manages complexity. Built for burst, not persistence. | Vendor-centric tooling. Steep learning curve outside that ecosystem. | Unified self-service. Automation. Built for lean local teams to run. |
| Control & ownership | Low — sovereignty and residency risk. | Medium — complexity and lock-in add friction for lean local teams. | High — proven sovereign/government deployments, e.g. the State of Utah sovereign AI factory. |
HPE GreenLake is a hybrid-by-design cloud — the only platform with a unified control plane spanning edge, datacenter, co-location, and public cloud, with pay-per-use economics, self-service orchestration, and sovereign AI capability built in from the ground up. Not bolted on. Not an afterthought. Designed this way from the start.
HPE GreenLake is the operating model — the consumption, unified control plane, and self-service experience. HPE Private Cloud is the private cloud delivered through it — self-managed or fully managed, with a sovereign, disconnected option for regulated environments. HPE Private Cloud AI is the turnkey AI variant, co-engineered with NVIDIA. One stack, delivered one way — not three separate products.
A pre-integrated private cloud that gives lean IT teams a hyperscaler-style operating model — without the hyperscaler dependency. Provision VMs, containers, and bare metal on demand through a unified self-service dashboard, with automation handling routine operations. Runs in your datacenter, a colocation you choose, or air-gapped.
A turnkey AI factory co-engineered with NVIDIA — purpose-built for secure AI workloads in sovereign environments. Run private AI inference against your own data (records, maps, and video) without exposing a single record to a public model. The entire data layer can run air-gapped.
The 4R Framework behind every Octo8 design.
Let's map what you run today, what must survive, and what a right-sized recovery environment on HPE would look like.
