Unmatched VM solution offered in a pay-use model
Virtualized environments running on hyperconverged infrastructure combine the flexibility and streamlined agility of VMs with the operational efficiency and simplicity of hyperconverged systems. The HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform delivers your business the benefits of hyperconverged virtual machines without the cost and complexity of manual configuration and operation—or the financial risks of overprovisioning. Monthly billing tracks your actual usage, while HPE GreenLake Central monitors your consumption, working with you to add additional resources as needed ahead of business demand. Whether you prefer a Nutanix environment with a choice of hypervisors, or an HPE SimpliVity–based solution, modular pre-configurations make it easy to select the right options, and HPE can deliver your configuration to your on-premises or co-located data center in as few as 14 days.
No overprovisioning expense
You select your VM deployment based on your current needs, and with the HPE GreenLake platform, we include built-in buffer capacity to cover unexpected spikes in demand. Your usage is metered and capacity is managed jointly with HPE, so we can scale up capacity ahead of business growth.
Streamline operations with a simplified solution
Optional management services from HPE can allow you to offload much of your day-to-day infrastructure management workload—while the design, architecture and installation of your infrastructure is performed by HPE and included in your base cost.
Cost transparency
Variable monthly charges are based on actual metered usage above your reserve capacity. With HPE GreenLake Central, you have near-real-time visibility into the usage and costs of your virtualized environment.
Our highest level of support
HPE GreenLake Management Services includes a single point of contact for your support needs, with an assigned HPE support team that understands your specific IT environment and business workflows.
Hyperconverged virtual machine configurations
These HPE GreenLake platform configurations based on purpose-built, cloud-native infrastructure, offer a versatile HCI solution in a pay-per-use model. You can streamline IT operations with fast, efficient, resilient, and intelligent hyperconverged platforms—whether you choose the consistency and simplicity of an HPE SimpliVity offering, or the flexibility of a Nutanix deployment running on HPE ProLiant DX hardware.
We offer three tiers of hyperconverged virtual machine infrastructure configurations for each of the two options.
