Hi, I'm Phil Cutrone
and welcome to another edition of HPE CONNECT.
In our previous HPE GreenLake videos
we looked at the benefits of an as-a-service business model
for you and your customers.
And we showed you how to get started
developing your own as-a-service solution using GreenLake.
Today, we're going to take a closer look
at the GreenLake Central management platform
and the unique and powerful capabilities
it puts at your fingertips.
One question I hear often from our OEM partners is,
what if my solutions are massively distributed
and running in customer locations all over the world,
how would I manage that?
The answer is GreenLake Central,
the management hub with everything you need to monitor
and optimize your customer's service all in one place.
The first thing to understand about GreenLake Central
is that it is fully customized
and aligned to the way you want to do business.
Since GreenLake Central is a cloud-based application,
there's nothing to download or install.
You simply log in to see the latest information
on the services your customers are using.
Your GreenLake Central dashboard provides a quick,
high-level view of your key business metrics
with the ability to drill down for more detail in each area.
Whether your solutions are installed in dozens
or thousands of locations,
GreenLake Central provides you with a quick
and comprehensive view into your entire estate.
HPE GreenLake Central can be set up to meter
and bill for services in many different ways.
We work with you to set up a model
that supports the way you want to do business.
For example, you may rely on a unit of infrastructure
such as compute, VM, storage or container to drive billing.
Or you may want to use an industry-specific unit of measure
that we define together
that aligns to your GreenLake consumption.
For example, a healthcare imaging OEM
could bill hospitals based on each medical study
as a unit of measure.
Or a manufacturing process control OEM
could bill based on production cycle,
such as when a product moves
through a video inspection station on the factory floor.
Once your metering and billing model are set up,
GreenLake Central provides a top-line summary
of all your customer charges.
With just a few clicks, you can view itemized billing
for each customer, get the details behind each line item,
and see actual resource utilization.

Your GreenLake Central dashboard
also provides a centralized view
of the infrastructure deployed
across all your customer sites or co-locations.
Together, we determine the right capacity parameters
for each workload.
Infrastructure can be deployed
with additional onsite buffer capacity,
which is activated through GreenLake Central
to handle spikes in demand.
GreenLake Central also applies AI-enhanced
consumption analytics to predict future capacity utilization
based on historical data.
Anytime usage exceeds predefined capacity parameters,
GreenLake issues an alert on the main dashboard.
You can then quickly review status
and see the details behind the alert.
When additional capacity is needed
simply contact your HPE account support manager
and initiate a change request.

GreenLake Central simplifies regulatory compliance
and governance across your entire estate.
It provides customizable frameworks
with more than 1500 regulatory
and industry-specific controls
such as HIPAA, ISO, GDPR, and PCI.
Which makes it easy to monitor and report on compliance.
These frameworks ensure continuous compliance
with automatic updates of any regulatory changes.
And GreenLake Central AI alerts you to anomalies
such as unexpected usage spikes or unusual activity.
So you can investigate further.
As you can tell, I'm very passionate and excited
about the capabilities GreenLake Central brings
to our OEM customers.
I hope this overview has given you some ideas
about how you can implement
an as-a-service solution for your customers.

Thanks for watching
and stay tuned for more HP CONNECT videos.
