Director of cyber security at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP

The most valuable feature of HPE GreenLake for Disaster Recovery for us is its ability to identify when we need additional capacity and automate onboarding. Our law firm's data needs can be unpredictable, so the tool's management of long-term data capacity strategies is crucial. They monitor when we reach around 80 percent capacity and ensure that additional capacity is provided within the required time frame, which is important for us. As a law firm, predicting capacity requirements is difficult because we can't anticipate which cases we'll get or how much data each case will need. The solution ensures that we have the necessary storage when we need it.

The most valuable features are simplicity and that recovery can take a few seconds. The speed of recovery that GreenLake provides is really good because we can go back seven to eight seconds. It helps reduce a lot of the RTOs by around 90%. It's really easy to recover. You only need to press a button. Greenlake provides us with a single SaaS control console for multisite management. It really helps because we only need internet connection, and we can recover the environment even if we're not connected to the environment. It's really simple because we only need internet connection and not different on-prem consoles to access the devices and manage the recovery. It enables us to manage all of our cloud services. This ability makes our lives easier. It makes it easier to help protect our environment. The ability to protect our data with no scheduling, snapshots, or agents has simplified our tasks. We only need to deploy some VMs in our environment, access the console, manage the recovery plan, and modify it. It's a huge advantage of this solution. We didn't have a disaster recovery solution and now with HPE, it's really simple and powerful with central software that has insights. It allowed us to create a disaster plan with predictable RPOs and RTOs. It's really simple and intuitive because you only need to follow a wizard and then complete the fields. You don't have to have a lot of knowledge. The predictable RPOs and RTOs are really important. Compared to other solutions, the RTOs are the best with Greenlake. The unique journaling capabilities enable us to recover data from a large number of checkpoints that are seconds apart. This ability is the reason why I think that HPE Greenlake is the best solution in the market. You can recover from a few seconds ago and you cannot find this anywhere else in the market. It's really powerful.

HPE GreenLake for Disaster Recovery makes life a lot easier because it is a single all-in-one solution. It is easy to set up and configure, and with that testing functionality integrated, it also gives me that ease of mind because I know that it my DR procedures effectively works. Previously, the testing procedure with other tools took me several hours, even days, to be sure, and now, I can test in a matter of minutes. I know that everything is okay or not. If there is a disruption in my environment, I just have to go into the UI from Disaster Recovery, and it tells me what my RPO is effectively at that moment, which is somewhere between five and ten seconds. That is it. Recovery is very easy because I can see directly what is going wrong and which server or site is down under the integrated failover testing. I can do an effective failover, so I do not even have to go on-site. I can do it from anywhere. I can initiate a failover in case of a disaster to my DR server. HPE GreenLake for Disaster Recovery provides a single SaaS control console for multi-site management. It works, and I use it. This single portal or the single pane of glass gives me access to all my gear. It now also gives me all the services. It gives me all the applications and software that I am running on top of the gear. I use it quite often. I am able to manage compute and storage, as well as DR, from a single console. For me, it is very important because until now I had to use multiple consoles and multiple applications to have the big picture of all my data with all the hardware underneath it. Now, I have that single pane of glass from where I can see everything at the same time. It simplifies my life a lot. HPE GreenLake for Disaster Recovery enables me to protect our data with no scheduling, snapshots, or agents to be installed. It simplifies my life a lot because it is easy to use, and we do not need to use all those integrations between different solutions. Its unique journaling capabilities enable me to recover data from a large number of checkpoints that are seconds apart. I already tried it, and it is a part of my testing procedure. I tried to recover from multiple checkpoints, and that effectively worked. I have checkpoints for up to two days if I remember well, and until now, it all works fine. Our Recovery Point Objectives went from days and hours to seconds. The most impressive thing about this solution is that I can now very easily specify that these mission-critical VMs are protected with Disaster Recovery, and these non-mission-critical VMs are protected with Backup and Recovery, which is a data protection tool from GreenLake, so I am using both of them.

Valuable Features

"The most valuable features are simplicity and that recovery can take a few seconds."
"The most valuable feature of HPE GreenLake for Disaster Recovery for us is its ability to identify when we need additional capacity and automate onboarding. Our law firm's data needs can be unpredictable, so the tool's management of long-term data capacity strategies is crucial. They monitor when we reach around 80 percent capacity and ensure that additional capacity is provided within the required time frame, which is important for us."
"I now have one portal where I can manage my servers, my storage, my networking, and also my data protection and disaster recovery. It is now all integrated into one portal."

Room for Improvement

"I would like to have the ability to deploy the appliances and protect some VMs on the cloud."
"I think HPE GreenLake for Disaster Recovery is doing a good job overall, but there's room for improvement. It should pay more attention to different business models. As a law firm, our requirements differ greatly from those of insurance companies or banks. Our timelines and capacity recovery needs are unique."
"In HPE GreenLake for Disaster Recovery, until now, if I remember well, there is only VMware to VMware. Recently, they added Azure, but it does not have the full flexibility yet for it to go from anywhere to anywhere. There is room for improvement."

Pricing

"Pricing is straightforward. The thresholds are well documented, so you know exactly where your tiers are. The price is very clear if you decide to go for a certain capacity. The pricing is also clear if you want to move to the next threshold. So that aspect is very straightforward and not an issue."
"It is not cheap, but it is much more cost-efficient compared to Zerto because the entry point of the number of VMs to be protected is lower compared to Zerto. It is more interesting to get started with GreenLake for Disaster Recovery because of the lower entry price point."

These insights are based on the in-depth reviews provided by peers to help you make a better buying decision.
