What it is

GreenLake puts HPE infrastructure in your datacentre and bills it by consumption. A buffer of capacity sits installed and ready, you pay for what you actually use, and the meter reads monthly.

What it is for

Data that has to stay in the building for legal or operational reasons, where demand cannot honestly be forecast three years out.

The benefit is in the procurement model, not the technology. The hardware is the same hardware.

What to watch

A consumption model moves capital expenditure into operating expenditure. It does not make it smaller. The arithmetic works when demand genuinely varies. Under a stable, predictable load, buying is often cheaper, and that calculation belongs before the signature.

What we do with it

Draft, unreviewed

Draft, not yet reviewed. We rarely see GreenLake win on cost. It wins on predictability, because growth stops meaning a procurement project. The contract is the demanding part, and the committed minimum is the number that hurts three years later.

This paragraph is a draft and nobody at soulTec has confirmed it yet. Everything above it describes the product and is checkable against the vendor.

RAID controllers

13 Mar 2023

If you have configured an HPE ProLiant server, you have almost certainly met a Smart Array or SmartRAID controller. Since Gen10 there is another option: the MegaRAID controllers.

Storage performance testing with vdbench

21 May 2024

IOmeter is quick, but its data patterns do not suit a modern storage array. vdbench is the better tool, and this is how to configure it.

Storage performance testing with IOmeter

12 Feb 2024

Every successful storage project ends with a storage performance test during system acceptance, checking the array, the storage area network and the hosts.

vSAN Witness Appliance 9.0

15 Sep 2025

You have probably run into the same problem I did: a freshly deployed 9.0 Witness Appliance that ignores its configuration and reports an expired licence.
