HPE GreenLake offers a consumption-based IT model that ties infrastructure costs directly to capacity usage, transforming capital expenditures into flexible operating expenses. This approach empowers businesses to scale up or down based on demand, seasonal fluctuations, and changing market conditions—without the burden of procuring new infrastructure. With HPE GreenLake Flex, organizations can design hybrid, cloud, or on-premises solutions tailored to their unique workloads, leveraging pre-designed packages from HPE and partner technologies for fast deployment. Derive Technologies partners with HPE to help enterprises unlock the full potential of GreenLake, delivering hassle-free hybrid cloud management, self-service reporting, and the freedom to refocus internal resources on innovation and business growth.
Businesses are always looking for ways to save on capital expenditures, reduce monthly costs, and still remain nimble and adaptable to market challenges. It's no surprise, then, that the concept of consumption-based infrastructure has taken hold across industries worldwide. Industry analysts predicted that by the end of 2020, 40% of enterprise infrastructure spending would follow a consumption-based procurement model—and by 2023, IDC projected that number would climb to 60%. This shift represents a fundamental change in how organizations think about IT investment, moving away from rigid, upfront capital commitments toward a more agile, pay-per-use framework.
A consumption-based IT model ties infrastructure cost directly to capacity usage. Rather than being classified as a capital expenditure, IT becomes an operating expense that increases and decreases based on the amount of technology being consumed—whether it's gigabytes of storage, compute hours, or megabytes of network traffic. This model gives IT organizations the power to easily scale up to handle fluctuations in demand and changing market conditions, making it ideal for industries that are highly seasonal or experience peak periods for customer service, online purchasing, and other resource-intensive operations.
At Derive Technologies, we understand the critical importance of aligning IT infrastructure with business strategy. That's why we work closely with HPE to deliver consumption-based solutions that allow organizations to remain lean during low-capacity periods while maintaining the agility to scale and grow fast—without the burden of identifying and procuring new infrastructure. In addition, companies can choose to outsource some or all of the IT management continuum, such as design and deployment, operations, management, and ongoing support, from HPE PointNext Services. By relying on the global HPE team of experts for these important but more routine functions, you can free up internal resources to focus on more value-added and innovative opportunities.
HPE GreenLake Flex builds on the foundational benefits of consumption-based IT by simplifying the development of your entire infrastructure architecture. With each approach—on-premises, cloud, or hybrid—there are distinct benefits and tradeoffs. However, with Flex Capacity, you gain the freedom to design infrastructure solutions based on what's right for your specific workloads and environment. Build it from scratch, consume it from the cloud, or strike a balance: for many enterprises, Hybrid IT can provide the ideal combination of flexible, cloud-like provisioning with the control and security of critical applications and workloads that remain on-premises. This flexibility ensures that your IT strategy evolves in lockstep with your business objectives, rather than constraining them.
Whatever path you take, HPE provides choice—including pre-designed, end-to-end solutions from a wide range of HPE and partner technologies such as HPE ProLiant for Microsoft® Azure® Stack, HPE Synergy 480 compute modules, or HPE SimpliVity 380. These packages leverage standard configurations based on common business requirements for easy ordering and fast deployment, dramatically reducing the time between decision and implementation. Derive Technologies leverages its platinum-level partnership with Hewlett Packard Enterprise to help you identify, configure, and deploy the GreenLake solution that best fits your organizational needs—ensuring you maximize return on every technology dollar spent.
