More flexibility, more control, more resilience

HPE GreenLake from Ultima

In today’s unpredictable climate, many IT departments are under pressure to deal with IT complexity, increasing business demands, squeezed budgets, over-stretched resources and skills shortages. And all this while trying to remain resilient to further change. What’s the answer?

Mark Fletcher, Ultima’s Executive Sponsor at HPE explains.

IT organisations want to get their pre-pandemic transformation programmes back on track, and concentrate on introducing new revenue-generating products and services. But a number of challenges mean that IT teams are spending less time, rather than more, on these all-important higher value projects. To put it into perspective...

Combating cloud complexity

But moving workloads into public clouds is not the only answer. Rushing to migrate workloads onto public clouds hasn’t always achieved the desired results, as it often leads to increased management complexity and cost.

Workloads can be deployed into public clouds quickly – which is ideal when you’re launching new apps and updates. But even then, sizing and placing workloads across a large hybrid cloud environment can create yet another complex and time-consuming task for your IT team2. Over-provisioning cloud instances can easily lead to uncontrollable costs too.

There is a solution

HPE GreenLake from Ultima advances the hybrid cloud experience, offering the convenience and flexibility of public cloud, but delivered from your data centre, colocation site or network edge, in a fully managed pay-per-use model. It gives you a proven hybrid cloud platform on which to deploy both new and existing workloads, unleashing the potential of your people by freeing them from repetitive tasks so that they can spend time on innovation to drive business outcomes.

In a time where resilience is required, the ability to only pay for what you consume is a major benefit from a financial standpoint. Meanwhile, the increased flexibility enables you to take a more considered approach in everything you do, modernising your infrastructure in an optimised way whilst simplifying cloud operations. What’s more, there’s no wastage, because you only use what you need, which in itself demonstrates resilience.

So, for those ready to take greater control of their workloads and do more of what they do best, HPE GreenLake is the cloud that comes to you. It’s hybrid cloud, your way.
