Barclays snubs public cloud giants and hardware rivals for HPE GreenLake private cloud

Re: What is GreenLake anyway?

That’s actually wrong, we have Greenlake for IaaS. HPE manages servers, storage, network and VMware vSphere. We manage VM provisioning and OS. We pay for a baseline 80% of the capacity and have on demand access to a 20% capacity buffer. We can scale up and down monthly. The net cost is cheaper than AWS, but more expensive than a pure DIY play. But if you’re having trouble staffing it’s just moving the cost from employees to Greenlake services.

Greenlake can be anything from DIY bare metal hardware to on-prem IaaS managing up through the OS layer. The customer chooses the hardware, software and services. Greenlake delivers hardware and monitors agreed upon usage metrics for monthly billing.
