HPE GreenLake for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI

The Azure hybrid cloud, delivered as a service on-premises

Combine the agility and pay-per-use economics of public cloud with the security and performance of an on-premises deployment — on HPE and Microsoft validated integrated systems.

HPE GreenLake for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI integrated system
Overview

An integrated Azure hybrid cloud, your way

HPE GreenLake for Microsoft Azure Stack HCI delivers an as-a-service experience for on-premises compute and storage — with fast deployment, scalability and pay-per-use economics, all within your control and your choice of on-premises or colocation environment.

Built on HPE GreenLake cloud-native infrastructure that integrates compute, storage and networking, it runs your applications and Azure services on the Azure Stack HCI platform on-premises. Choose HPE as your Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) and a single team becomes your one-stop technical support specialist for the whole experience.

HPE GreenLake integrated system

Purpose-built for Microsoft’s hyperconverged solution — modular, flexible and factory-built for fast, reliable time to value.

Run the most common Azure Stack HCI use cases such as trusted enterprise virtualization, Azure Kubernetes Service, virtual desktop infrastructure and high-performance Microsoft SQL Server. The solution uses predefined, tested, optimized and validated cloud modules, delivered as configurable cloud module instances designed for solid performance and high availability.

Cloud module features

Processing hardware

Configurable compute instances.

Network module

Integrated system management plane.

Platform software

Azure Stack HCI OS, Windows Admin Center, HPE OneView and Aruba Networking Fabric Composer.

HPE metering

To measure infrastructure consumption, the solution offers one of two units of measure:

Allocated memory (GiB)

The daily peak of memory allocated by hypervisor hosts plus HA overhead, sampled every 15–60 minutes and invoiced monthly.

Storage raw (GiB)

Raw capacity for written data plus redundancy — 50% efficiency for two-way mirroring, 33% for three-way — sampled daily, billed on the monthly average.

When HPE is the CSP of record, Microsoft also reports Azure service usage to HPE, which is billed alongside the HPE allocated-memory or storage measures.

Configuration summary

Single-rack solution

Delivered as a single rack for data center deployment.

From two instances

Minimum two (three recommended for production), shipped with rack, PDUs, network modules and a management plane.

Scale to 16 nodes

Up to 16 homogeneous compute instances; add nodes in increments of one or more.
