If your company is like most growing organizations, you’re are always on the look-out for simpler, more cost-effective ways to run IT. You might have heard that more and more businesses are achieving those results by turning to as-a-service, pay-as-you-go approaches for IT infrastructure. But you might have assumed that it’s a move that works best for larger companies.
The reality is, these cloud-on-premises solutions can meet a large number of the challenges that midsized organizations face day in, day out. You don’t have a lot of cash for upfront investments? As-a-service approaches enable you to get your projects up and running without them. You want to be able to cover unexpected upswings in demand without forking out for new boxes? You can do that. You want to capitalize on digital transformation and get new services pushed out quickly to your customers – while reducing the ops burden on your IT folks by having experts run the solution? This is a great way to do it.
HPE GreenLake is a pay-per-use platform that delivers cloud services to wherever your apps and data live – from edge to colocation to data center. It’s quick and easy to scale up or down as your needs change, and it’s managed for you. HPE GreenLake is a powerful solution, right-sized to make your growing business faster and more agile while saving you money.
As-a-service – everywhere
If you’re not familiar with a consumption-based IT model, let me explain a bit more about how HPE GreenLake works. The cloud services cover a huge range of workloads, including compute, networking, storage, virtual desktop infrastructure, VMs, and a lot more. We can deliver the infrastructure in as few as 14 days. HPE's metering technologies ensure that you pay only for the resources you consume, and a built-in buffer capacity enables you to handle both steady growth and unexpected increases in demand. We also takes care of the operational side for you.
You also get HPE GreenLake Central, a self-service platform that centralizes operations and insights across your entire estate – cloud as well as on-premises – giving you a unified view of usage, cost performance, compliance and more.
5 big advantages that are not only for large organizations
Consider what this cloud services model could mean for your growing business. You can:
Do more while spending less upfront. HPE GreenLake gives you exceptional financial flexibility. You can sidestep big upfront expenditures, pay on a monthly bill, and easily expand capacity when you need it. Three new modular HPE GreenLake cloud services were announced recently that provide low-cost, smaller entry points. You can start small; choose the deployment size, compute instance, or storage volume instances that best fit your needs; and scale incrementally.
Simplify IT purchasing decisions and move faster. Enterprise IT departments are often vast, they’re buying stuff all the time, and they have the expertise to do a deep dive into every investment. If that’s not you, however, you may not have that luxury. Every purchase counts, in a big way. With HPE GreenLake cloud services and advice from VoDaVi, you can access the latest technologies quickly and with minimum risk. And when you’re ready to make your move, you can bypass the all-too-familiar purchasing and deployment delays. You can get new services pushed out faster.
Eliminate the management burden. Your teams will no longer have to strain to keep up with the latest knowledge for a vast range of new technologies. With the management services that are wrapped into every HPE GreenLake solution, you can free up talent to accelerate what’s next for customers. You can focus on expanding your business, getting ahead of others in your space, and even competing with the big guys.
Unlock the power of colocation. Many organizations prefer not to host a data center on their own premises – they prefer to get out of the business of managing infrastructure. Instead, they opt for a colocation facility so that their teams can focus more on business initiatives. HPE GreenLake can bring all of the agility and flexibility of cloud to this type of IT footprint. Recently, HPE announced that we are deepening our partnerships with CyrusOne and Equinix, two major players in the colocation sector. Joint customers can now run HPE GreenLake on CyrusOne or Equinix through one agreement and one invoice. This enables you to greatly simplify and accelerate your procurement process.

Tap into the expertise of HPE partners. We understand that success is about much more than just the technology, and that smaller organizations sometimes lack the in-house expertise to deploy the kind of innovative, game-changing technology that could really strengthen their position in the marketplace. You can access the expertise you need to ensure the success of your cloud services project through VoDaVi Technologies, a certified HPE partner and Solution Provider. It’s all about giving you choice.
