Back to All Partners HPE INVITE Networks is an HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) partner, delivering HPE server, storage, networking, and hybrid cloud infrastructure for enterprise and mid-market organizations in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and the greater Mountain West. INVITE handles HPE infrastructure design, procurement, deployment, and ongoing management — so your team gets purpose-built compute and storage without running a dedicated infrastructure operations function internally. TL;DR: INVITE Networks is an HPE partner that designs, deploys, and manages HPE server, storage, and networking infrastructure for organizations across Utah and Arizona. For businesses modernizing on-premises infrastructure, building hybrid cloud environments, or refreshing aging hardware, INVITE handles the full engagement from sizing through ongoing support. This page is for IT directors and VPs of Infrastructure evaluating an HPE partner who can own the infrastructure environment, not just fulfill purchase orders. What does INVITE Networks deliver as an HPE partner? As an HPE partner, INVITE Networks designs and deploys the full HPE infrastructure portfolio — ProLiant servers for compute workloads, HPE Alletra and Nimble Storage for primary and secondary storage, HPE Aruba networking for wired and wireless environments, and HPE GreenLake for as-a-service consumption of on-premises infrastructure. INVITE sizes infrastructure to workload requirements, handles procurement, manages deployment and configuration, and integrates new HPE hardware with your existing virtualization, backup, and security stack. For organizations running VMware, Microsoft Hyper-V, or moving workloads to HPE’s hybrid cloud platform, INVITE architects the compute and storage layer that underpins those environments. We also deploy HPE SimpliVity for hyperconverged infrastructure — consolidating compute, storage, and data protection into a single platform suited for distributed or branch office environments. All infrastructure work is delivered through INVITE’s managed services platform for end-to-end accountability. Why do Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and Mountain West organizations choose INVITE for HPE infrastructure? HPE is an enterprise-grade infrastructure vendor with a deep product portfolio — and selecting, sizing, and integrating HPE hardware correctly requires expertise most mid-market IT teams don’t have on staff. Undersized compute leads to performance bottlenecks; oversized storage configurations waste capital. INVITE’s infrastructure architects have deployed HPE environments across a wide range of workloads — SQL Server, VMware vSphere, virtual desktop infrastructure, file services, and backup targets — and size correctly the first time. One example: a 300-person healthcare organization in Salt Lake City was running aging Dell servers approaching end of support, with storage capacity nearly exhausted and no refresh plan in place. INVITE assessed current workloads, sized a three-node HPE ProLiant cluster with HPE Alletra storage, managed the procurement and deployment, and migrated all virtual machines to the new environment over a single weekend with no downtime. The organization gained five years of headroom on a platform fully covered under INVITE’s managed support. Phoenix-area clients in manufacturing, financial services, and professional services face similar infrastructure refresh cycles. INVITE manages the entire process — from initial assessment through hardware installation, configuration, and handoff — as part of our broader security-conscious infrastructure approach that ensures new environments are hardened from day one. How does INVITE manage HPE infrastructure as part of its managed services? After deployment, INVITE monitors HPE infrastructure continuously — tracking server health, storage capacity utilization, hardware alerts, and firmware currency through our NOC. When HPE iLO generates a hardware alert or a storage array reports a degraded drive, INVITE responds proactively, coordinating warranty replacement with HPE directly and keeping your team informed throughout. You don’t need to manage HPE support cases yourself. INVITE also manages HPE firmware and driver updates on a scheduled cadence, ensuring infrastructure stays current without disrupting production workloads. For organizations running HPE GreenLake, INVITE manages the consumption model — monitoring utilization against committed capacity, advising when burst thresholds are approaching, and working with HPE on capacity adjustments. This removes the operational overhead of managing an as-a-service infrastructure contract while still giving your organization the flexibility of the GreenLake model. Storage capacity management is another ongoing deliverable. INVITE tracks HPE Alletra and Nimble Storage utilization trends and advises on expansion timing before capacity constraints become operational issues. We manage snapshot schedules, replication configurations, and integration with backup platforms — ensuring your data protection posture stays aligned with your recovery time and recovery point objectives. What HPE products does INVITE deploy and manage? INVITE deploys and manages HPE ProLiant rack and tower servers for general-purpose compute, HPE Synergy for composable infrastructure in larger enterprise environments, and HPE SimpliVity for hyperconverged deployments. On the storage side, INVITE deploys HPE Alletra (NVMe-first primary storage), HPE Nimble Storage (adaptive flash for mixed workloads), and HPE StoreOnce for backup target and deduplication appliances. For networking, INVITE architects and manages HPE Aruba wired switching and wireless LAN environments, including Aruba Central for cloud-managed network visibility. INVITE also supports organizations adopting HPE GreenLake — HPE’s as-a-service platform that delivers on-premises infrastructure on a consumption-based model similar to public cloud. For organizations that need predictable capex avoidance without surrendering control of their data, GreenLake with INVITE management provides the operational model of a managed cloud with the data sovereignty of on-premises infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions: HPE Infrastructure Is INVITE Networks an authorized HPE partner? Yes. INVITE Networks is an authorized HPE partner, qualified to resell, deploy, and support HPE server, storage, networking, and GreenLake solutions for enterprise and mid-market clients in Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and nationally. Can INVITE manage our HPE infrastructure if we don’t have an internal infrastructure team? Yes — that is the most common engagement model for INVITE infrastructure clients. INVITE provides ongoing HPE infrastructure management as a managed service: hardware monitoring, firmware management, capacity planning, HPE support coordination, and proactive issue resolution. Your IT leadership retains strategic oversight; INVITE handles day-to-day operations. How does INVITE handle HPE hardware failures under warranty? INVITE manages HPE support cases on behalf of clients. When a hardware failure occurs, our NOC opens the case with HPE, provides all required diagnostic data, and coordinates on-site parts delivery or field engineer dispatch per the active warranty or HPE support contract. Clients receive updates from INVITE throughout — they don’t need to interact with HPE support directly. How long does an HPE infrastructure deployment typically take? Timelines depend on environment complexity. A standard HPE ProLiant server deployment with existing storage typically completes in 1–2 weeks from hardware delivery. A full compute and storage refresh with virtual machine migration runs 3–6 weeks depending on workload count and migration approach. INVITE manages the full project schedule and coordinates maintenance windows with your team for zero-disruption cutovers.
