Flexible monthly infrastructure has simplified management and improved client cost control
Some valuable points about HPE GreenLake are that it is a managed solution in the same pane of glass. HPE GreenLake integrates well with the existing infrastructure, and it is straightforward. HPE GreenLake positively impacts my organization because it saves money and time, and it improves my sales because I have another solution to reduce costs for the client. The client may need to pay two thousand dollars to change every infrastructure in one payment, but not all clients have the total amount available. However, if it is possible to pay month-to-month for the solution, it is much easier for the client to accept the proposal. HPE GreenLake's real-time monitoring tools are good, and I really need them to improve the services.

Modern deployment practices have reduced downtime and support efficient multi-app management
Kubernetes Everywhere offers features including auto-scaling, which is the best feature, as well as load balancing, ingress controllers, and the ability to host multiple applications on a single Kubernetes Everywhere cluster through segregation using namespaces. The commands are straightforward to execute, and it allows the integration and management of Docker containers efficiently. Auto-scaling is one of the features I use in Kubernetes Everywhere that made a significant impact, helping us with user distribution as the pods scale automatically without disruption as users increase, contributing to high availability and low downtime. I am using Kubernetes Everywhere with the GitOps approach, using Git as a source of truth, which provides excellent security and has made a significant change in our current infrastructure. Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing downtime. We have achieved almost zero minutes of downtime since implementing Kubernetes Everywhere in our organization after transitioning from manual deployments. Regarding cost savings, we were using multiple EC2 instances for different projects, but now everything is under one cluster, running as a pod and segregated by namespaces, leading to cost savings. For team collaboration, we are using different tools with Git as a source of truth, making it easy for developers to manage instances and gain insights efficiently.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the ability to perform backups with a graphical user interface (GUI). It makes the process easy."
"It is the flexible way to pay for everything that you need and pay as you go."
"It has brought newer technology in more quickly, with a lower risk of failure, helped us plan better, enabled extensive virtualization so we can bring in less gear to accomplish the same things, and made our infrastructure more consistent by keeping hardware generations closer together."
"Absolute flexibility for scaling storage needs on demand."
"By establishing a service provider responsible for backup and restore and having monthly service meetings with them, we have reduced our management effort by more than fifty percent."
"HPE GreenLake is highly stable."
"The fact that we can now add storage on the fly without any downtime means better productivity and scalability on demand."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to grow into a lower price point at some point in time."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is a very good tool with most of the features taken from Kubernetes open-source, and it works really well, is highly scalable with very low latency."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization because we do not require any tech background to make our web app work."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted our organization by enabling us to focus on cost optimization and making our applications highly available and cost effective, such as using features for automated staging environments that are only active during business days."
"I have seen specific outcomes, with incidents having definitely reduced drastically from what it was a few years back; so certainly, I can see there is more than 25 to 50% reduction in the incidents since adopting Kubernetes Everywhere."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has impacted my organization positively because performance-wise, we don't have any downtimes, whereas earlier we used to have downtime."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is easy to operate when you have a settled environment and easy to manage, offering high availability and fault tolerance with all high availability features, rich support of the latest technologies, vulnerability management, and easy management."
"Since we started using Kubernetes Everywhere, we brought all the applications in one place, which impacted the speed, security, and cost, and mainly the data, so the data stays in one place."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is a premier operational asset for modern multi-cloud architecture, delivering standard, predictable workload orchestration across any underlying hardware engine with minimal setup complexity."
 

Cons

"Because VMware is very expensive right now, offering another solution for a hypervisor from HP at a much lower cost of six hundred dollars a year is really awesome."
"There is a need for improved support in HPE GreenLake, including more administrators and engineers to provide faster resolution for issues."
"I am still struggling with monitoring, particularly with OpsRamp, which is not fully customized to our needs, especially for disaster recovery."
"Unfortunately, HPE GreenLake can be sold only in Bahrain, UAE, and the Middle East, meaning it can be sold in only three or four countries because it requires certain approvals from countries where it has to be used."
"The interconnects were a challenge originally, but they sorted that out, and It was fine. We did have to spend a bit more money."
"The time to receive a price when I am going to a proposal is too long."
"I don't think we'll know until we get to the end of the contract if the service has saved us money."
"HPE GreenLake can improve by making some of the user's experience better. It can take some time to learn."
"It only loses a small amount of points because fine-tuning network policies across very strict, air-gapped, on-premise boundaries takes extra upfront coordination during the initial discovery week."
"Deploying Kubernetes Everywhere infrastructure is somewhat difficult because there are many components that need to be deployed."
"I can think of an improvement for Kubernetes Everywhere in that it should be easier to use from a developer's perspective, as it involves a lot of infrastructure numbers and DevOps."
"Customer support for Kubernetes Everywhere could be better."
"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Kubernetes Everywhere a six."
"Kubernetes Everywhere is pretty good, but it can be improved in terms of reliability and speed because currently, it takes around two to three minutes to deploy my entire app, possibly due to the weight of the codes I have or some outages from the platform side."
"Kubernetes Everywhere can be improved if it had more convenient commands, which would make it easier for me to remember all the commands in GCP for Kubernetes."
"Although we have not seen a clear return on investment in terms of reduced personnel, we are already operating with a lean structure that aligns with our cost optimization goals, independent of Kubernetes Everywhere."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"HPE GreenLake payment model is you pay for what you use. You can purchase a yearly, quarterly, or half-year license. The overall price of the solution is a little high and hopeful there can be better margins in the future."
"If you are looking to turn some of your capital expense into operational expense, this allows you to do it. It is a good idea."
"The price could be more flexible."
"HPE GreenLake has been growing in popularity due to its subscription model. The flexibility of the solution allows it to adapt to the changing market trends towards more edge performance and workloads."
"We have reduced a lot of our VMware licensing costs."
"Pricing is based on usage plateaus. The more you use, the more you pay."
"Our first year costs were approximately $1.2 million instead of spending five to six million dollars."
"It is significantly less expensive than going to cloud for development... Our cost is approximately $25,000 a month."
