Accelerate IT Modernization with HPE GreenLake

IT modernization is not just a buzzword, but a critical imperative for businesses that want to stay ahead of the competition and meet the evolving needs of their customers. According to a recent survey by IDG, 89% of IT decision-makers say that IT modernization is essential for achieving their strategic goals, and 64% say that it is a top priority for their organization. However, many businesses face significant challenges in transforming their legacy IT infrastructure, such as high costs, complex processes, and security risks.

To solve these challenges, many business IT leaders are considering a move to HPE GreenLake due to its cloud-like agility, resource scalability, and consumption-based economics along with the security and control of on-premises IT. Let’s explore what HPE GreenLake is (from a strategic business standpoint rather than a technical deep dive), how it can help you accelerate your IT modernization journey, and how Blue Mantis can support you with our expertise and services.

Understanding the Need for IT Modernization

IT modernization is the process of updating your IT infrastructure, applications, and processes to leverage the latest technologies and best practices. IT modernization can help you achieve many benefits, such as:

• Improving your operational efficiency and productivity by reducing downtime, simplifying management, and automating tasks.
• Enhancing your security and compliance by protecting your data, devices, and networks from cyberattacks and meeting regulatory standards.
• Increasing your scalability and flexibility by enabling you to adjust your IT resources according to your changing business needs and demands.
• Driving your business growth and innovation by enabling you to launch new products, services, and features faster and more effectively.

However, many organizations struggle to modernize their IT infrastructure due to various challenges, such as:

• High upfront costs and long-term commitments associated with traditional IT procurement models, which can limit your budget and cash flow.
• Complex and lengthy processes involved in deploying, configuring, and integrating new IT solutions, which can delay your time to value and increase your risk of errors.
• Security and governance issues related to public cloud services, which can expose your sensitive data and applications to external threats and compromise your control and visibility.

That’s why you need a solution that can overcome these challenges and enable you to modernize your IT infrastructure in a faster, simpler, and more cost-effective way. That’s where HPE GreenLake comes in.

What is HPE GreenLake?

HPE GreenLake is a consumption-based IT solution that delivers on-premises or hybrid cloud infrastructure and services that you pay for only what you use. HPE GreenLake combines the best of both worlds: the agility, scalability, and economics of the cloud with the security, control, and performance of on-premises IT.

HPE GreenLake has three core features that make it a unique and powerful solution for IT modernization:

1. A self-service portal that allows you to provision, manage, and monitor your IT resources in real-time, with full visibility and transparency.
2. A pay-per-use model that aligns your IT spending with your actual usage. In some cases, HPE GreenLake can be deployed with no upfront costs and no overprovisioning.
3. A managed service that provides you with expert support, maintenance, and optimization from HPE and partners such as Blue Mantis. As a managed service, a GreenLake solution is deployed with service level agreements (SLAs) and key performance indicators (KPIs) specific to your business needs that ensure your IT performance and availability.

HPE GreenLake offers a wide range of solutions for different IT domains, such as compute, storage, networking, data protection, analytics, AI, containers, and more. You can choose the solutions that best suit your business needs and goals, and customize them to your specific requirements and preferences.

HPE GreenLake also integrates seamlessly with your existing IT environment, whether it is on-premises, in the public cloud, or in a hybrid mode. You can enjoy a consistent and unified experience across your IT landscape, by enabling cloud computing principles to on-prem IT assets and gain some flexibility on where your workloads and data live and interact across different platforms.
