2017年11月28日——ABB和慧與（HPE）宣布了一項全球性戰略合作伙伴關系，將ABB Ability數字化方案，與HPE混合信息技術（IT）解決方案相結合。該合作將提供幫助客戶從海量工業數據中分析提取可行性洞察的解決方案。

ABB and HPE will deliver joint industry solutions that merge OT and IT to turn industrial data into insights and automatic action, combining cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure with IT systems running in corporate data centers and at the edge of the network. Employing the right mix of IT platforms will accelerate data processing in industrial plants and at the same time enable control of industrial processes across locations.

ABB和HPE將提供融合OT和IT的工業解決方案，將工業數據轉化為洞察力和控制操作，整合諸如微軟Azure等各種云平臺、企業數據中心的IT系統、以及邊緣計算網絡上的應用。通過采用合理的IT平臺組合，幫助工廠提高數據處理速度，并同時實現跨地點的工業流程控制。

With an installed base of 70 million connected devices, 70,000 digital control systems and 6,000 enterprise software solutions, ABB is well-entrenched in the industrial space, and has a four-decade-long history of creating digital solutions for customers. HPE in turn is a global company helping customers optimize their IT environments with secure, software-defined technologies that seamlessly integrate across traditional IT, multiple public and private clouds and the intelligent edge to drive key business outcomes.

作為一家享有盛譽的技術領軍企業，ABB已在數字化領域深耕40余年，并在全球范圍安裝了7000多萬臺互聯設備、7萬多套控制系統和6000多個企業軟件解決方案。HPE是一家全球性公司，通過安全的軟件定義技術幫助客戶優化其IT環境，這些技術能夠跨傳統IT，多種公共和私有云，以及智能邊緣無縫集成，并實現關鍵業務成果。

To provide a true end-to-end experience for customers, the ABB-HPE partnership will include co-innovation, co-development, joint go to market and service.

為了實現真正端到端的客戶體驗，ABB和HPE將在合作中共同創新、共同研發，并在市場推廣和服務方面開展緊密合作。

Research firm IDC forecasts that worldwide spending on the Internet of Things (IoT) will grow to $1.4 trillion in 2021 from an expected $800 billion in 2017. The largest investments are being made in areas such as manufacturing, transportation and utilities. To tap into the opportunities of the IoT, companies are investing in new solutions that digitize their industrial equipment and integrate it with their broader IT environments. By joining forces, ABB and HPE are bringing together the capabilities needed to accelerate this transformation.

據市場研究機構IDC預測，全球物聯網（IoT）支出將從2017年的8000億美元增長至2021年的1.4萬億美元，主要投資領域包括制造業、交通和公用事業。為了挖掘物聯網帶來的機遇，各家企業積極投資開發新的解決方案，以推動工業設備的數字化以及與更廣闊的IT環境的深度融合。通過強強聯手，ABB和HPE將加速這一進程。

The partnership was announced at the HPE Discover conference in Madrid, where both companies demonstrated their first jointly developed solutions and prototypes.

這次合作是在馬德里舉行的HPE Discover大會上宣布的，兩家公司都展示了他們首次共同開發的解決方案和原型。
