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.

Reliable mobile platform has delivered accurate retirement data and reduces incident rates
The best feature Kubernetes Everywhere offers is the reliability feature, which mostly impresses me. What makes the reliability stand out for me is uptime and error handling; also, as I mentioned previously, it's providing reliable data, which is very important for us in TIAA because it is the retirement data that we serve, and we do not want to provide anything incorrect to our participants. As this is a 100-year-old company, we want to make sure our participants are given the accurate information, reliable information that they deserve. Kubernetes Everywhere has impacted my organization positively by being reliable as well as providing accurate data, maintaining the uptime, which is very important, and making sure we deliver the accurate data that is required by our participants. 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It sort of lines up with our direction to move to the cloud. By using a hybrid cloud service to get us there, this allows us to run our legacy workloads on-premise. Those which are not really suited to a proper cloud."
"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."
"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."
"The fact that we can now add storage on the fly without any downtime means better productivity and scalability on demand."
"In the next four years over the lifespan of the first segment, it's going to be saving us approximately $1.2 million in just hardware purchases and software support costs."
"It offers businesses the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud while having their infrastructure on-premises."
"We have a service and cost model based on utilization for specific KPIs, measured by memory and storage, with no costs for CPU consumption. This approach has allowed us to manage and optimize utilization and consumption effectively."
"We have seen ROI, reducing our organization's capacity management efforts by around 40 to 50 percent and saving our organization 30 to 40 percent while decreasing the time it takes to deploy IT projects by 50 percent."
"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 has impacted my organization positively because performance-wise, we don't have any downtimes, whereas earlier we used to have downtime."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by providing lower costs, flexibility, and scalability."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization with cost savings, where we have a good amount of savings around sixty thousand to seventy thousand USD per year."
"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."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"Part of the integration, with cutting things over to Unisys, may have hurt us a bit."
"I think the solution has cost us money. It hasn't decreased the time it takes to deploy IT projects."
"The time to receive a price when I am going to a proposal is too long."
"In the GreenLake portal, I would really like to see more granularity in the costing model."
"HPE GreenLake can improve the price."
"HPE GreenLake can improve by making some of the user's experience better. It can take some time to learn."
"There could be better monitoring of growth and threshold usage so users could be more aware when their billing will change."
"I am still struggling with monitoring, particularly with OpsRamp, which is not fully customized to our needs, especially for disaster recovery."
"Deploying Kubernetes Everywhere infrastructure is somewhat difficult because there are many components that need to be deployed."
"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."
"At this time, I may not have any improvement suggestions; I want to explore more, so the features currently provided satisfy me, but if there is anything Kubernetes Everywhere can share with modernization, that would be great."
"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."
"The ingress issue is the main concern for me because I continue to face ingress-related issues most of the time."
"Due to poor planning of the application developers and resource management, I have seen crashes, downtimes, and performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have reduced a lot of our VMware licensing costs."
"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."
"It's a small cost per month compared to that one-time purchase. The big thing is if you get your one-time purchase wrong, then you are buying a lot more. With GreenLake, if we miss estimate (which with all the planning, you usually don't), we sign a piece of paper, and then they send more equipment in."
"Pricing is based on usage plateaus. The more you use, the more you pay."
"If you're used to buying HPE servers, it's less expensive than that. I don't really compare competitor servers because HPE has never given me any reason to look otherwise. However, if you get good pricing on HPE servers, you get better pricing on GreenLake."
"Our first year costs were approximately $1.2 million instead of spending five to six million dollars."
"Right now we're paying about $180,000 per year."
"In terms of pricing, it's a bit on the higher side."
