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

"In case the client needs this resource, it is available, and it is the best option in the market right now."
"It offers businesses the flexibility and scalability of the public cloud while having their infrastructure on-premises."
"The biggest thing that it gives us is reportability; that's the critical component. By giving us a monthly bill that is expandable based on usage, we're able to report back to the organization on the value that we're actually getting out of the hardware platform."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to grow into a lower price point at some point in time."
"It is the flexible way to pay for everything that you need and pay as you go."
"Absolute flexibility for scaling storage needs on demand."
"HPE GreenLake is highly stable."
"It has helped us with the planning, and in concert with this, we are doing a lot of virtualizations. For a lot of cases, we are bringing in less gear and equipment to be able to accomplish the same things. It makes better use of what we do bring in."
"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 my organization by providing lower costs, flexibility, and scalability."
"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."
"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."
"Kubernetes Everywhere positively impacts our organization by making it quite easy to deploy different microservices for different languages; we simply build the Docker container and pass it to the YAML, and if anything breaks, debugging is straightforward because we know exactly where the issue is coming from."
 

Cons

"We are still managing the VMs in our IT operations."
"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."
"I would like to have more detail in the monitoring."
"HPE GreenLake can improve the price."
"I don't think we have seen an actual return on investment or that the return is not directly related to the product."
"Part of the integration, with cutting things over to Unisys, may have hurt us a bit."
"There is a need for improved support in HPE GreenLake, including more administrators and engineers to provide faster resolution for issues."
"I don't think we'll know until we get to the end of the contract if the service has saved us money."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, running a Kubernetes cluster can be costly depending on the use case; however, running on GCP GKE is cheaper compared to AWS, making it relatively economical in our case."
"Due to poor planning of the application developers and resource management, I have seen crashes, downtimes, and performance issues."
"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."
"Regarding improvements for Kubernetes Everywhere, while the learning curve is inherent to understanding Kubernetes itself, it is essential that users have a good grasp of its concepts; without that, managing Kubernetes Everywhere can be challenging."
"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."
"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."
 

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."
"Pricing is based on usage plateaus. The more you use, the more you pay."
"The price could be more flexible."
"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."
"We have reduced a lot of our VMware licensing costs."
"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."
"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."
