Flexible Capacity from HPE Pointnext offers on-demand capacity, combining the agility and economics of public cloud with the security and performance of on-premises IT. With advanced metering, customers pay monthly for actual capacity used, above a minimum commitment – by core, by terabyte, by virtual machine – with no up-front capital outlay. HPE provides a buffer of capacity on-premises and ready for use, which you pay for only when you start to use. Active capacity management ensures that the buffer is replenished before it runs out, so that you have the servers, storage, networking, and operating software that you need, and ensuring that you are ready to take on your next project or next customer. Flexible Capacity cuts overprovisioning – commonly as much as 50-60% of servers and storage – saving on IT cost, enabling faster time to value and eliminating the typical long purchasing cycle. And it includes support for your IT environment to simplify how you operate IT.

| General Manager at Zenith Business Solutions | 4.5 | HPE GreenLake offers a hybrid cloud solution that combines on-premises infrastructure with cloud capabilities, providing flexibility and control. It replaces traditional virtualization tools and supports various environments, but its availability is limited to specific regions in the Middle East. |
| Database Admin at Fintec | 4.5 | I primarily use HPE GreenLake for server backups using a GUI, which simplifies the process. However, I believe the support service needs improvement, as they're not very responsive. We chose it due to our HPE server-based data center. |
| Co-Founder & Enterprise Solutions Architect at Qtopia Tech. Solutions | 4.0 | HPE GreenLake offers the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud with on-premises infrastructure. However, it needs better support and hardware availability. We prefer Dell for its superior support but find HPE adequate despite some configuration challenges. |
| Senior Inside Solution Architect at a tech vendor with 1,001-5,000 employees | 5.0 | I reviewed HPE GreenLake and found it ideal for consolidating workloads with a cloud-like experience while keeping data on-site for security. Its valuable features include integration capabilities, though there's room for improvement in user experience due to its learning curve. |
