The price could be more flexible. It depends on factors such as market availability, stock, availability of experienced engineers, and the proficiency of the administrative team. I would rate it eight out of ten.

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.
Our first year costs were approximately $1.2 million instead of spending five to six million dollars. We have had GreenLake two year now, and Epic says, "By the way, by April of 2020 you will have to replace that hardware again." In six years, that would have been three major purchases. So, GreenLake has given us the ability to say, "New technology, go ahead and roll it in." You pay for it as you go. 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. If you're used to buying HPE servers, it's less expensive than that. I don't really compare competitor servers because HPE has never given me any reason to look otherwise. However, if you get good pricing on HPE servers, you get better pricing on GreenLake.

The pricing is based on the plateaus of usage. The more you use the more you pay but within ranges. We believe it has saved the organization money. As far as the exact amount, I'm not sure. I would say probably about 20% on storage costs.

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

If you are looking to turn some of your capital expense into operational expense, this allows you to do it. It is a good idea.
