What is HPE GreenLake?

Flexible Capacity from HPE Pointnext offers on-demand capacity, combining the agility and economics of public cloud with the security and performance of on-premises IT. With advanced metering, customers pay monthly for actual capacity used, above a minimum commitment – by core, by terabyte, by virtual machine – with no up-front capital outlay. HPE provides a buffer of capacity on-premises and ready for use, which you pay for only when you start to use. Active capacity management ensures that the buffer is replenished before it runs out, so that you have the servers, storage, networking, and operating software that you need, and ensuring that you are ready to take on your next project or next customer. Flexible Capacity cuts overprovisioning – commonly as much as 50-60% of servers and storage – saving on IT cost, enabling faster time to value and eliminating the typical long purchasing cycle. And it includes support for your IT environment to simplify how you operate IT.

We use Dell products as well, and it is preferred over HP for its professionalism and ease of administration. While HP is straightforward to use, there were instances where unknown configurations required support from HP, and the experience wasn't satisfactory. Dell's support is considered better overall. While there may be differences in latency between HPE and Dell, it does not significantly impact performance or decision-making.

The setup of HPE GreenLake is straightforward. However, there is some complexity. The length of time necessary for the deployment depends upon the scope of work for the customer. For example, what activity we need to do. However, in general in a common standard scenario, the configuration doesn't take too much time.

Head of data center & operations at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

We have a service and cost model based on utilization for specific KPIs, measured by memory and storage, with no costs for CPU consumption. This approach has allowed us to manage and optimize utilization and consumption effectively. We have a portal for real-time connection to monitor and adapt our consumption if needed. Our physical servers are on-prem, and although GreenLake is hosted in the data center, on-site virtual machines like domain controllers and small file servers are protected by the GreenLake contract. If a machine breaks, the GreenLake team handles replacement and technician coordination. Additionally, we have a small backup solution on-prem, but it is not covered by the main GreenLake backup service. By establishing a service provider responsible for backup and restore and having monthly service meetings with them, we have reduced our management effort by more than fifty percent. The service is well managed by HP, with effective notification processes keeping us fully aware of backup activities.

Valuable Features

"We have a service and cost model based on utilization for specific KPIs, measured by memory and storage, with no costs for CPU consumption. This approach has allowed us to manage and optimize utilization and consumption effectively."
"The solution's technical support does an excellent job."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to perform backups with a graphical user interface (GUI). It makes the process easy."

Room for Improvement

"I am still struggling with monitoring, particularly with OpsRamp, which is not fully customized to our needs, especially for disaster recovery."
"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."
"The support service needs improvement. The support team isn't very active in addressing cases. It should also provide a web application."

Pricing

"In terms of pricing, it's a bit on the higher side."
"The price could be more flexible."
"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."
