A: Yes, really. And that's an average, based on studies and interviews conducted with existing
HPE GreenLake customers by Forrester Consulting. For example, the research found that, although the
time varied by project and organization, an average global IT project could take up to six months to
implement — including the procurement process for additional capacity requirements. Organizations in
the study noted a significant decrease in time-to-market — up to 75% — for their global IT projects
after the HPE GreenLake investment.
Q: The HPE GreenLake platform can help us achieve up to 75% faster
time to market? Really?
A: Forrester Consulting details IT resource efficiencies, including freeing staff to focus on strategic
business initiatives (up to 40%); a reduction in outside fees for maintenance and professional services
(up to 90%); and CapEx savings by eliminating overprovisioning and tech refresh costs (up to 40% by
year three). Forrester also uncovered "soft" benefits — including improved productivity, reliability and
transparency, increased security, and better performance with access to the latest in hardware technology.
Q: What other benefits can we expect to achieve?
A: It's easy to add additional services to your HPE GreenLake contract with a simple change order.
You can explore new services on hpe.com/greenlake/services and even get pricing or request a trial online.
With preconfigured services, you can accelerate your time to value with delivery in 14 days or less.
Q: What if I want to add additional HPE GreenLake cloud services?
A: IT consulting company Sopra Steria is using HPE GreenLake for private cloud — including flexible
server and storage capacity — to deliver a broad mix of diverse workloads to its customers. The company
has been able to eliminate CapEx, and has reduced its operational and personnel costs between 15% and 30%,
depending on the service.
Also, Toyota Mapmaster Inc. adopted the HPE GreenLake cloud services model to support and
accelerate its mapping production system. "In the new environment, servers, storage, and backup devices
are stored in four racks quite spaciously," said Koji Takeo, group manager of the technical development
department. "The data center cost has been reduced to about 2/3, with reduction of the number of racks
and power consumption."
Q: Could you share examples of cost savings from adopting the
as-a-service model?
