Any growing business inevitably has growing IT needs. But it can be almost impossible to know the precise computing requirements months and years in advance.
The result is overprovisioning, buying and storing IT resources to have at the ready, and tying up funds that could be better spent meeting current needs. The cloud introduces an ability to pay for resources like storage and compute only as needed but comes with its own set of issues around privacy, control, security and compliance for some organizations.
An emerging option is to use a platform that combines the flexibility of an on-demand cloud model with the control of on-premises infrastructure, such as HPE GreenLake. The solution is a consumption-based IT service, in which HPE provides hardware infrastructure on customer premises but retains title and charges on a pay-per-use basis.
