The product is excellent. HPE GreenLake is the best tool that can replace some other tools for those who are afraid to go and put their application on the cloud, making it one of the best options for the client. The tool allows users to operate with on-premises infrastructure and the cloud that runs on the client's on-premises infrastructure, making it somewhat similar to a hybrid cloud infrastructure since users have full control. HPE GreenLake replaces all the existing virtualization solutions in the market. The best part is that customers don't need to bind their operations with HPE alone, allowing them to have a VMware or Hyper-V environment. Customers in the market can also choose products, like Red Hat Enterprise Linux, so you can operate HPE GreenLake with its products from its competitors all year round, and it does not keep its bound to HPE infrastructure.
We primarily use HPE GreenLake to take server backups in our environment. It involves backing up servers from Jira, specifying the time range, and utilizing VMware ESXi to perform the backup. The backups are stored on NetApp, and we have multiple storage locations.
One of our successful use cases was a customer that already had HPE SimpliVity and multiple clusters of it at different locations. They wanted to consolidate these workloads while also having a replication site. We proposed a consolidation model and recommended the HPE GreenLake solution, which they found appealing. The customer liked the idea of having the hardware on-site but also having a cloud-like experience where they could pay for the infrastructure on a monthly basis and have it maintained and supported by the HPE team.
We use it for automation, CI/CD; for transforming our development environment from old, static VMs and even private cloud VMs, into a more deployed, purpose-built system so that we can deploy/tear down, deploy/tear down as needed for each project.
We're working in a new data center in Virginia and are using it for our primary storage and compute. We're a cloud services provider and we provide co-location and disaster recovery. We're using it on the cloud services and the disaster recovery sides of the business.

It replaces our entire server infrastructure. Everything that we do today has now been replaced by GreenLake, as far as our data center is concerned. I haven't got all my workloads on it yet, so I don't really know how it performs when it's fully loaded. It is certainly looking very positive, but I just don't know yet.
We use it for our Epic environment. The IT service that we have is compute. It supports our Citrix environment, HyperSpace environment, and our Epic products for both primary and secondary data centers, which we run actively together. We have the HPE Synergy blades and HPE 3PAR, and we're still running off Gen9s. Eventually, we will be going to the Synergy blades completely.

Our use case is to build a large enterprise storage cluster. We are using the service to do colocation.

We are using it to procure and replace hardware. It covers storage, backup, and compute. We acquire all of these components through GreenLake.
Our primary use case for HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity is to provide storage to meet our fluctuating needs on-demand.
