HPE GreenLake
The hybrid cloud platform bringing pay-per-use economics and agentic AIOps to your on-prem, edge, and private cloud infrastructure
Overview
HPE GreenLake is HPE's hybrid cloud platform that delivers infrastructure, private cloud, and cloud services on a pay-per-use basis, wherever your apps and data live. It is built for organizations that want cloud economics and a single control plane without moving regulated or latency-sensitive workloads to public cloud: enterprise IT, federal and DoD agencies, SLED, and healthcare systems standing up private cloud or AI infrastructure on their own terms.
Instead of buying servers and storage outright, you consume compute, storage, and turnkey private cloud as a metered service with buffer capacity already on site, so you scale up without waiting on a new purchase order. HPE Private Cloud is now on its 4th generation, built on ProLiant Compute Gen12, with PC3000 (Business Edition) for self-managed deployments and PC7000 (Enterprise Edition) for fully managed environments, including an air-gapped configuration built toward DoD Impact Level 4 readiness. GreenLake Intelligence adds an agentic AI framework on top, with a centralized agent registry and governance controls, plus OpsRamp Operations Copilot for observability into the AI agents and LLMs themselves.
HPE was named a Leader in the inaugural 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Infrastructure Platform Consumption Services, positioned Highest in Execution and Furthest in Vision. By the close of fiscal 2025, GreenLake's annualized revenue run-rate had grown 62% year over year to $3.2 billion across roughly 46,000 customers, a scale that reflects a platform enterprises are actually standardizing on, not a pilot program.

A closer look


Why HPE GreenLake
Most organizations run a mix of on-prem systems, private cloud, and public cloud, and the seams between them drive both cost overruns and operational drag, now compounded by AI agents nobody is centrally governing. GreenLake gives you cloud economics and a single control plane for infrastructure you keep on premises, at the edge, or air-gapped, so you pay for what you use while GreenLake Intelligence keeps AI agents and workloads under one governance model instead of sprawling unmanaged. That turns large capital outlays into predictable operating spend while keeping sensitive data, and increasingly sensitive AI agent activity, under your control.

Metered billing for compute, storage, and private cloud, with reserved buffer capacity already installed so you scale without a new procurement cycle.

How to buy HPE GreenLake
HPE GreenLake is sold as a service, not a line-item SKU, so procurement runs through consumption contracts sized to your workload rather than a single price tag. Uniqcli structures the paperwork and the on-ramp so the commercial model matches how your budget actually works.
GreenLake pay-per-use subscription
Metered monthly billing across compute, storage, and private cloud with buffer capacity installed on site, shifting the purchase from capex to opex on your books.
GreenLake Flex Solutions
Custom-built consumption agreements when a packaged service does not match the workload, sized around your specific compute, storage, or private cloud need.
GSA MAS (application in progress), SAP/FAR channels, and GPC direct
Federal and DoD buyers can acquire GreenLake via GPC direct, SAP, FAR-based purchase orders, and GSA eBuy contract vehicles, with TAA-compliant hardware options for agencies bound by Buy American sourcing rules.
Government purchase card (GPC) and micro-purchases
Smaller GreenLake consumption commitments and add-on services can move through GPC for agencies that need a faster path than a full contract action.
Refresh and trade-in credit
Retiring capital-purchased infrastructure into a GreenLake consumption model can offset the transition with trade-in value on the hardware you are replacing.
Where it fits
Frequently asked
What is HPE GreenLake?
HPE GreenLake is HPE's hybrid cloud platform that delivers infrastructure, private cloud, and cloud services on a pay-per-use basis wherever your workloads live. You consume compute, storage, and private cloud as a metered service with buffer capacity installed on site, and manage it all through one platform instead of separate tools for on-prem, edge, and public cloud.
How does GreenLake pay-per-use billing actually work?
HPE installs capacity on your site, including reserved buffer capacity, and meters what you actually consume. You pay monthly as an operating expense rather than a capital purchase, and the buffer capacity lets you scale up immediately without waiting on a new purchase order or procurement cycle.
What generation is HPE Private Cloud on now, and does that matter?
HPE Private Cloud is on its 4th generation, built on HPE ProLiant Compute Gen12 hardware with improved performance per watt and iLO-based security. The current generation adds unified Kubernetes and VM management on one platform, which matters if you are consolidating container and virtualization tooling rather than running separate stacks.
What is the difference between Private Cloud PC3000 and PC7000?
PC3000, also sold as Business Edition, is a self-service, self-managed private cloud focused on simplifying VM-to-infrastructure management. PC7000, or Enterprise Edition, is fully managed and spans bare metal, containers, and VMs, with an air-gapped option built toward DoD Impact Level 4 (IL4) readiness for regulated environments.
What is GreenLake Intelligence, and how is it different from OpsRamp?
GreenLake Intelligence is the platform-wide agentic AI framework: a centralized agent registry plus orchestration and governance controls for managing AI agents across your estate. HPE OpsRamp's Operations Copilot is the observability layer inside it, watching agent and LLM behavior, token consumption, and running root-cause analysis when something breaks.
Can GreenLake run in a disconnected or classified environment?
Yes. Air-gapped HPE Private Cloud deployments are built for disconnected environments, and the Enterprise Edition's air-gapped configuration targets DoD Impact Level 4 (IL4) readiness, covering secure design, hardened configuration, and vulnerability management for federal and defense buyers.
Does GreenLake only manage HPE hardware?
No. GreenLake is built to operate across multi-vendor, hybrid environments, so it can manage and optimize infrastructure beyond HPE's own hardware and cut down on the number of separate tools your operations team has to run.
How is HPE GreenLake actually purchased?
Uniqcli, an authorized HPE partner, quotes GreenLake consumption agreements directly, whether that is a standard pay-per-use subscription, a custom Flex Solution, or a federal contract vehicle like GSA MAS (application in progress), SAP/FAR channels, or GPC direct. Start a quote request and we size the service and the paperwork to your budget cycle.
What proof points back GreenLake as a platform, not just a pricing model?
HPE was named a Leader in the inaugural 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Infrastructure Platform Consumption Services, positioned Highest in Execution and Furthest in Vision. By the close of fiscal 2025, GreenLake's annualized revenue run-rate had grown 62% year over year to $3.2 billion across roughly 46,000 customers.
Works with
GreenLake is the consumption and control layer that most other HPE software plugs into, so it pairs directly with the platform's virtualization, observability, and compute building blocks rather than sitting apart from them.
