Flexible monthly infrastructure has simplified management and improved client cost control

Some valuable points about HPE GreenLake are that it is a managed solution in the same pane of glass. HPE GreenLake integrates well with the existing infrastructure, and it is straightforward. HPE GreenLake positively impacts my organization because it saves money and time, and it improves my sales because I have another solution to reduce costs for the client. The client may need to pay two thousand dollars to change every infrastructure in one payment, but not all clients have the total amount available. However, if it is possible to pay month-to-month for the solution, it is much easier for the client to accept the proposal. HPE GreenLake's real-time monitoring tools are good, and I really need them to improve the services.

Modern deployment practices have reduced downtime and support efficient multi-app management

Kubernetes Everywhere offers features including auto-scaling, which is the best feature, as well as load balancing, ingress controllers, and the ability to host multiple applications on a single Kubernetes Everywhere cluster through segregation using namespaces. The commands are straightforward to execute, and it allows the integration and management of Docker containers efficiently. Auto-scaling is one of the features I use in Kubernetes Everywhere that made a significant impact, helping us with user distribution as the pods scale automatically without disruption as users increase, contributing to high availability and low downtime. I am using Kubernetes Everywhere with the GitOps approach, using Git as a source of truth, which provides excellent security and has made a significant change in our current infrastructure. Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing downtime. We have achieved almost zero minutes of downtime since implementing Kubernetes Everywhere in our organization after transitioning from manual deployments. Regarding cost savings, we were using multiple EC2 instances for different projects, but now everything is under one cluster, running as a pod and segregated by namespaces, leading to cost savings. For team collaboration, we are using different tools with Git as a source of truth, making it easy for developers to manage instances and gain insights efficiently.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"My clients are receiving a return on investment, this is why they are using it."

"It has made our organization's capacity management efforts so much better. Usually, engineers need to take time to worry about firmware updates and and getting that stuff done. However, that falls to the wayside, knowing with GreenLake's data center management and data center support that all the firmware has been tested for all the equipment that you have. When you apply the updates, nothing should go wrong, because it has already been fully tested."

"The fact that we can now add storage on the fly without any downtime means better productivity and scalability on demand."

"In case the client needs this resource, it is available, and it is the best option in the market right now."

"HPE has delivered on all their promises for this service."

"It is the flexible way to pay for everything that you need and pay as you go."

"It sort of lines up with our direction to move to the cloud. By using a hybrid cloud service to get us there, this allows us to run our legacy workloads on-premise. Those which are not really suited to a proper cloud."

"HPE GreenLake is highly stable."

More HPE GreenLake pros

"Kubernetes Everywhere is a very good tool with most of the features taken from Kubernetes open-source, and it works really well, is highly scalable with very low latency."

"Kubernetes Everywhere is a premier operational asset for modern multi-cloud architecture, delivering standard, predictable workload orchestration across any underlying hardware engine with minimal setup complexity."

"Kubernetes Everywhere positively impacts our organization by making it quite easy to deploy different microservices for different languages; we simply build the Docker container and pass it to the YAML, and if anything breaks, debugging is straightforward because we know exactly where the issue is coming from."

"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing downtime; we have achieved almost zero minutes of downtime since implementing Kubernetes Everywhere in our organization after transitioning from manual deployments."

"We were able to save 40% of our time on deployments, and cost-wise, we saved at least 10% of the annual cost we spend on infrastructure."

"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization because the infrastructure, the deployment, and the management are very organized, and I do not have to worry about loads, server memory, or anything."

"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted our organization by enabling us to focus on cost optimization and making our applications highly available and cost effective, such as using features for automated staging environments that are only active during business days."

"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization because we do not require any tech background to make our web app work."

Cons

"HPE GreenLake can improve the price."

"Part of the integration, with cutting things over to Unisys, may have hurt us a bit."

"I don't think we have seen an actual return on investment or that the return is not directly related to the product."

"I am still struggling with monitoring, particularly with OpsRamp, which is not fully customized to our needs, especially for disaster recovery."

"There could be better monitoring of growth and threshold usage so users could be more aware when their billing will change."

"Unfortunately, HPE GreenLake can be sold only in Bahrain, UAE, and the Middle East, meaning it can be sold in only three or four countries because it requires certain approvals from countries where it has to be used."

"I don't think we'll know until we get to the end of the contract if the service has saved us money."

"Both times that we've had to increase the hardware, the deployment took way longer than expected. In addition, we haven't yet gotten to a use point where the cost is below what it would cost us to provision the same set of services on HPE hardware outside of the GreenLake service."

More HPE GreenLake cons

"At this time, I may not have any improvement suggestions; I want to explore more, so the features currently provided satisfy me, but if there is anything Kubernetes Everywhere can share with modernization, that would be great."

"I can think of an improvement for Kubernetes Everywhere in that it should be easier to use from a developer's perspective, as it involves a lot of infrastructure numbers and DevOps."

"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, running a Kubernetes cluster can be costly depending on the use case; however, running on GCP GKE is cheaper compared to AWS, making it relatively economical in our case."

"Customer support for Kubernetes Everywhere could be better."

"Although we have not seen a clear return on investment in terms of reduced personnel, we are already operating with a lean structure that aligns with our cost optimization goals, independent of Kubernetes Everywhere."

"Deploying Kubernetes Everywhere infrastructure is somewhat difficult because there are many components that need to be deployed."

"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Kubernetes Everywhere a six."

"Kubernetes Everywhere can be improved if it had more convenient commands, which would make it easier for me to remember all the commands in GCP for Kubernetes."

More Kubernetes Everywhere cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's a small cost per month compared to that one-time purchase. The big thing is if you get your one-time purchase wrong, then you are buying a lot more. With GreenLake, if we miss estimate (which with all the planning, you usually don't), we sign a piece of paper, and then they send more equipment in."

"HPE GreenLake has been growing in popularity due to its subscription model. The flexibility of the solution allows it to adapt to the changing market trends towards more edge performance and workloads."

"It is significantly less expensive than going to cloud for development... Our cost is approximately $25,000 a month."

"In terms of pricing, it's a bit on the higher side."

"Right now we're paying about $180,000 per year."

"Our first year costs were approximately $1.2 million instead of spending five to six million dollars."

"The price could be more flexible."

"HPE GreenLake payment model is you pay for what you use. You can purchase a yearly, quarterly, or half-year license. The overall price of the solution is a little high and hopeful there can be better margins in the future."
