--- title: Compute Power For Your Workloads with HPE GreenLake description: HPE GreenLake brings the cloud experience—self-serve, pay-per-use, scale up and down and managed for you—to apps and data everywhere, in edges, colocations, and data centers. --- [VLCM Blogs - Learn How To Get IT Right ](https://blog.vlcm.com/blog) # [Compute Power For Your Workloads with HPE GreenLake](https://blog.vlcm.com/blog/power-with-greenlake) Written by [VLCM](https://blog.vlcm.com/blog/author/vlcm) | Mar 23, 2021 3:15:00 PM Achieve a modern cloud experience in on-premises environments with elastic compute capacity in a pay-per-use model If you prefer to view this blog as a pdf, [click here](https://blog.vlcm.com/hubfs/HPE%20GreenLake/_2021/Compute%20power%20for%20your%20workloads%20with%20HPE%20GreenLake%20solution%20brief-a00099071enw.pdf). Compute in the cloud is agile, scalable, and cost-effective. Lines of business and developers don’t have to wait for servers or storage infrastructure to be procured, assembled, configured, and added to the network. It’s simply available on-demand so they can get to work and innovate, with few concerns about over- or under-provisioning. CIOs want to bring those benefits to their on-premises environments, since 70 percent of apps are still outside the public cloud1 — for reasons around security, governance, compliance, entanglement issues, data gravity, and more. Hewlett Packard Enterprise now makes it possible to achieve the same cloud-like experience with infrastructure in your edge locations, co-location facilities, and data centers, with [HPE GreenLake](https://www.vlcmtech.com/hpe-greenlake). Get the compute infrastructure you need delivered to your location in as little as 14 days with HPE GreenLake. Power any workload—such as mission-critical apps, back-office operations, or DevOps environments—with infrastructure that meets your business requirements. Plus, it’s managed for you, which reduces complexity for IT staff. Avoid up-front capital costs—you only pay for the capacity actually consumed above a reserve. In addition, HPE GreenLake installs a buffer, enabling lines of business and developers to scale resources on-demand on a pay-per-use basis. By using HPE GreenLake for on-premises compute needs, companies can finally achieve benefits—scalability, cost efficiencies, agility, speed, and reduced complexity—once associated only with the public cloud.   > “IDC research shows that customer adoption of flexible consumption-based models is increasing because of the agility, transparency, and simplicity of these offers.”2 > > – Susan G. Middleton, Research Director, Flexible Consumption and Financing Strategies for IT Infrastructure at IDC. ## Compute Delivered Your Way No matter your compute needs, HPE GreenLake can help you power any workload.
