In March of 2020, colleges and universities were forced to shift nearly overnight to a new online learning and remote work model in an effort to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). This shift required immense agility along with the ability to scale IT on demand, making it ever more apparent that traditional on-premise solutions were too restrictive and that they often resulted in over-provisioning at a steep cost. Meanwhile the benefits of public cloud solutions, from on-demand scalability to increased flexibility, typically led to hidden costs and sacrificed compliance and manageability.
HPE GreenLake, however, is an as-a-service consumption-based IT environment delivering the security and performance you’d expect with on-premise along with the flexibility and cost-efficiency of cloud environments. Bringing the cloud’s benefits to on-premises assets, GreenLake enables a new blended learning experience and takes into consideration the immense budget pressures and cybersecurity concerns that are often front and center for higher education and public sector IT. In a recent solution brief, Forrester Research found that HPE GreenLake provided a 30 percent savings in CAPEX by eliminating over-provisioning, a 75 percent reduction in time-to-market for IT project deployment, and a 40 percent increase in IT team productivity because it reduced demand on IT support.
