Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced the general availability of
Cloud28+. HPE, which is HP's enterprise-focused division, has global headquarters in Plano, Texas, United States.

Cloud28+ has been labeled “Europe's cloud of clouds” and represents a service catalogue that includes “federated infrastructure covering more than 28 countries”.
Cloud28+ is a European-based community “aimed at increasing the visibility and revenue of its members and accelerating adoption of cloud technologies”.
