How is HPE helping India adopt Smart Governance to streamline both its governance and business practices?

HPE is actively supporting the Digital India and Smart Cities mission projects as well as partnering with several PSUs to enable digital transformation for their organizations. We are now seeing the adoption of several digital technologies like IoT, AI-ML, analytics, etc on a massive scale in the smart cities and other projects and HPE provides unique, innovative and use case-specific solutions from its range of hardware, software IP’s along with design, advisory and integration services.

HPE has in fact implemented India’s first cloud-based integrated command and control center for Bhopal Smart City Development Corporation Ltd. (BSCDCL). This centre has enabled the monitoring and administration of multiple cities’ civic utilities and citizen services in each of the cities through a central cloud and enabled state-wide monitoring of cities from a central command view.

In addition, our cloud and IoT-enabled Covid test labs and OPD centers collectively facilitated over 5,00,000 patient visits and have set a benchmark in the tech-enabled healthcare ecosystem in India while supporting the Government’s efforts to respond to Covid.

Our High-Performance Computing (HPC) systems have enabled some of the renowned institutes like Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), Pune; Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru; Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai; Indian Institute of Technology (Bombay, Delhi, Madras, Kanpur, Kharagpur). The research center with HPE HPC installations include National Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (NCMRWF), Noida. HPE’s solutions for Data, Compute and applications enable several smart initiatives of the government.
