HPE GreenLake for Block Storage is a storage-as-a-service solution that delivers a cloud operational experience for mission-critical applications. It enables customers to consume enterprise-grade block storage on demand, with a pay-per-use model that aligns costs with usage. This way, customers can avoid overprovisioning and paying for excess capacity that they may not need in the near future. Instead, they can scale up or down as their needs change, and pay only for what they use at a predetermined cost per GB. This provides better economics and flexibility for customers who want to optimize their storage spending and improve their liquidity123. References:

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a protocol that allows Fibre Channel traffic to be encapsulated and transported over an Ethernet network. FCoE enables the convergence of storage and data networks, reducing the number of cables, switches, and adapters required for a dedicated lossless fabric. FCoE also preserves the features and benefits of Fibre Channel, such as high performance, reliability, security, and management. FCoE requires Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) and Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) to ensure lossless and low-latency transmission of storage traffic over Ethernet. HPE Aruba Ethernet-based storage fabrics support FCoE and provide cloud-like scalability and simplicity for data-driven applications1. References: Advanced HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions, Rev. 22.31 (0001196323) H61Z2S, HPE Aruba Ethernet-based storage fabrics bring cloud-like scalability to data-driven applications

HPE GreenLake Data Protection is a cloud service that provides backup and recovery solutions for hybrid cloud environments. It enables customers to protect their data from edge to cloud, with rapid recovery on premises or low-cost archiving in the cloud. It also offers ransomware protection, data mobility, and data analytics capabilities1.

Two of the components that are part of HPE GreenLake Data Protection are:

• Disaster recovery: HPE GreenLake Data Protection offers disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) based on Zerto, a leading platform for cloud data management and protection2. DRaaS enables customers to replicate and recover their data and applications across different sites, regions, or clouds in minutes, with minimal data loss and downtime. DRaaS also provides orchestration, automation, and testing tools to simplify and streamline the disaster recovery process2.
• Azure blob backup: HPE GreenLake Data Protection supports Azure blob backup, which allows customers to backup their data to Azure Blob Storage, a scalable and cost-effective cloud storage service3. Azure blob backup can be used for long-term retention, compliance, or archival purposes, as well as for restoring data to Azure or on-premises environments. Azure blob backup also leverages deduplication, compression, and encryption technologies to optimize the backup performance and security3.

The other options, such as application mobility, CSI plugin, and object gateway, are not components of HPE GreenLake Data Protection. Application mobility is a feature of Zerto that enables customers to migrate their applications across different platforms, such as VMware, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, without disruption or data loss4. CSI plugin is a container storage interface plugin that enables customers to provision and manage persistent storage for their containerized applications using HPE storage solutions. Object gateway is a component of HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric, a data platform that provides a unified and secure data layer for analytics, AI, and cloud-native applications.

 The solution that addresses all three of the customer’s concerns is D. Rebuild your solution using the HPE GreenLake Quick Quote tool. With HPE GreenLake, the solution can be delivered in as little as 14 days, GreenLake solution deployed by HPE, and the solution is billed monthly. This is because HPE GreenLake is a cloud service that delivers on-premises or edge solutions with a pay-per-use pricing model, flexible capacity, and fully managed services. HPE GreenLake offers the following benefits for the customer:

• It reduces the lead time for the solution delivery, as HPE GreenLake can provide ready-to-ship solutions in 14 days or less, depending on the availability and complexity of the solution12.
• It lowers the IT resources required to deploy and manage the solution, as HPE GreenLake provides end-to-end services, including installation, configuration, monitoring, backup, patching, and tuning of the solution, freeing up the customer’s IT staff to focus on value-added activities13.
• It alleviates the initial cost outlay, as HPE GreenLake charges the customer only for the actual usage of the solution, avoiding upfront capital expenses and overprovisioning or underutilization of resources14.

The other options do not address all three of the customer’s concerns because:

• A. Use the HPE TCO and ROI calculator to develop a compelling business case that highlights the value proposition as well as essential financial metrics that are important to the customers. This option may help the customer understand the long-term benefits and savings of the solution, but it does not address the customer’s immediate concerns of lead time, IT resources, and initial cost outlay. The customer may still face delays, complexity, and upfront expenses with the solution5.
• B. Use the HPE Assessment Foundry to find ways to lower the amount of storage needed. Use the results of the reports to use cheaper drives in the storage array. Also HPE Pointnext services for installation. This option may help the customer optimize the storage capacity and performance of the solution, as well as simplify the installation process, but it does not address the customer’s concerns of lead time and initial cost outlay. The customer may still face long delivery times for some components of the solution, and may have to pay a high upfront price for the solution and the services67.
• C. Rebuild the solution in OCA, and look for opportunities in the tool to replace long lead time components with similar components that have shorter lead times. Also with your sales team to revise the cost of the solution to meet customer needs. This option may help the customer reduce the lead time and the initial cost outlay of the solution, but it does not address the customer’s concern of IT resources. The customer may stillhave to allocate significant IT resources to deploy and manage the solution, and may compromise on the quality or performance of the solution by replacing some components8.
