HPE Consumption Analytics
Consume hybrid cloud with confidence
The name has changed, and so has the level of control you have over your IT spending. Cloud Cruiser consumption analytics technology became HPE Consumption Analytics on November 1, 2018, bringing a new look and new capabilities for Cloud Cruiser 16 customers.
HPE Consumption Analytics powers multiple HPE product and service offerings, such as HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity, enabling you to meter and charge for consumption-based services and your users to optimize their usage and costs, both in the public cloud and on-premises. Stay on top of IT spending and forecast future spend with flexible budgets, capacity planning, and a rules-based recommendation engine. Get granular visibility into your usage and costs with interactive dashboards and a drag-and-drop report experience, all backed by HPE Support.

HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity is transitioning between analytics portals, and they do not share login credentials.
- If you have credentials that work for the existing HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity Portal and you cannot log in to the HPE Consumption Analytics Portal, then it might be because your organization’s consumption data has not yet been migrated to the HPE Consumption Analytics Portal. Your HPE account team will inform you when this migration takes place, and you will receive an automated email that allows you to set your own password on the HPE Consumption Analytics Portal. Continue using the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity Portal for now.
- If you have credentials that work for the HPE Consumption Analytics Portal and you cannot log in to the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity Portal, then it might be because your organization’s consumption data was migrated to the HPE Consumption Analytics Portal more than three months ago and your access to the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity Portal has been terminated. Or your organization might never have previously used the HPE GreenLake Flex Capacity Portal. In either case, continue using the HPE Consumption Analytics Portal, which offers more functionality.
