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 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."
"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."
"HPE has delivered on all their promises for this service."
"HPE GreenLake is highly stable."
"It is the flexible way to pay for everything that you need and pay as you go."
"In case the client needs this resource, it is available, and it is the best option in the market right now."
"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."
"My clients are receiving a return on investment, this is why they are using it."
"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."
"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 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."
"Kubernetes Everywhere has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the time needed to manage clusters and workloads, as we previously required several team members for cluster management, but now it provides a central console to manage everything."
"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 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 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

"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."
"I think the solution has cost us money. It hasn't decreased the time it takes to deploy IT projects."
"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."
"There could be better monitoring of growth and threshold usage so users could be more aware when their billing will change."
"I would really like to see more granularity in the costing model. That's the one limitation that we do have: We have a lot of departments. We want to be able to break down, in a granular way, that this department is using X amount of resources, that department is using Y amount of resources... I want to be able to tag it and say, "This is this department's fees, this is that department's fees." That way I could charge back internally to my own departments."
"I am still struggling with monitoring, particularly with OpsRamp, which is not fully customized to our needs, especially for disaster recovery."
"The interconnects were a challenge originally, but they sorted that out, and It was fine. We did have to spend a bit more money."
"There is a need for improved support in HPE GreenLake, including more administrators and engineers to provide faster resolution for issues."
"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."
"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."
"Deploying Kubernetes Everywhere infrastructure is somewhat difficult because there are many components that need to be deployed."
"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."
"Customer support for Kubernetes Everywhere could be better."
"Kubernetes Everywhere can be improved by providing an easier way for users to handle commands and developing a UI-based approach to make it easier for developers and semi-technical users, as well as focusing on improving containerization."
"Due to poor planning of the application developers and resource management, I have seen crashes, downtimes, and performance issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In terms of pricing, it's a bit on the higher side."
"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'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."
"The price could be more flexible."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Right now we're paying about $180,000 per year."
