How do we know who are the real consumers of IT within our business if we move to this model?

How do we figure out where best to place workloads?

Today’s customers need insight into their workload needs before making on/off-premise platform choices. For most organisations a hybrid cloud strategy helps avoid vendor lock-in and promote cloud neutrality. However caution is required. 40% of organisations say they’ve moved workloads back on-premise (hpe.com). These include business-critical applications where latency or performance issues are key, or where information placed in the cloud is deemed too sensitive to be off premise. Performance, cost, and security are the main drivers for a return on-premise.

HPE GreenLake alongside specialist Pointnext services overcomes these issues. It offers the control customers often need combines with the cost efficiency and agility of cloud. Add in the workload management expertise within Pointnext and from channel partners and customers can be assured their strategy is optimised.
