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(shí)現(xiàn)真正端到端的客戶體驗(yàn)，ABB和HPE將在合作中共同創(chuàng)新、共同研發(fā)，并在市場(chǎng)推廣和服務(wù)方面開(kāi)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(jù)市場(chǎng)研究機(jī)構(gòu)IDC預(yù)測(cè)，全球物聯(lián)網(wǎng)（IoT）支出將從2017年的8000億美元增長(zhǎng)至2021年的1.4萬(wàn)億美元，主要投資領(lǐng)域包括制造業(yè)、交通和公用事業(yè)。為了挖掘物聯(lián)網(wǎng)帶來(lái)的機(jī)遇，各家企業(yè)積極投資開(kāi)發(fā)新的解決方案，以推動(dòng)工業(yè)設(shè)備的數(shù)字化以及與更廣闊的IT環(huán)境的深度融合。通過(guò)強(qiáng)強(qiáng)聯(lián)手，ABB和HPE將加速這一進(jìn)程。

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