HPE CEO Antonio Neri claims GreenLake is now a $7.7 billion business and is growing at 86 percent annually.
For those who came in late, GreenLake is the vendor’s as-a-service offering and Neri thinks it will be a “North Star” for HPE customers, with the “entire company inside GreenLake”.
In HPE’s 2021 full-year results, the vendor revealed that it had added $1.5 billion of GreenLake total contract value in the preceding year, bringing the total to more than $5.7 billion. More than 900 partners sold HPE GreenLake, making it “one of the largest partner of ecosystems selling as-a-Service offerings in the industry”.
In March, HPE opened up GreenLake through the marketplaces of four of its distributors and in June it introduced a number of updates and new cloud services to the platform.
“If you look on the financial side, the business now is over $7.7 billion in the balance sheet. This year, we are growing year to date [at] 86 percent. The number of partners that are transacting with GreenLake is now twice the number of partners compared to last year.
“I feel that we are making progress but as always, the future belongs to the fast. You have to go further faster. That’s has been my mission since, let’s say, the pandemic because I feel this is the right strategy for the company. The partners have to transform too because the customers are demanding it.”
He said that the next stage was to make HPE GreenLake simple and easy to deploy solutions and consume.
“But in the end, make no mistake, it’s going to be the entire company inside GreenLake. Even the wonderful servers that we sell today. For us, it’s not about just being to be able to consume as-a-service, it’s being able to run your entire business through HPE GreenLake.”
