When it bought Cray back in May 2019, HP Enterprise暗示在提供HPC系统作为服务。现在，它正在展示HPE绿色球蛋白的HPC Greenlake云服务。
HPE has made a lot of headway with its GreenLake program, the pay-per-use model created in response to the popularity of cloud service providers. It lets customers pay as if they are buying a cloud service, but it’s provisioned using infrastructure deployed at customer sites or in colocation facilities. Up to now it’s been used in standard IT applications, like app and Web serving or databases.
该high-performance computing服务专为企业而设计，以支持苛刻的计算和数据密集型工作负载，如AI和ML。新产品通过基于专门的HPC系统，软件，存储和网络的特大号和大型选项提供完全管理的，预捆绑的服务，消除了与传统的HPC部署相关的复杂性和成本。
Customers order it through a self-service, point-and-click portal to choose the configuration they need for their workloads. The company claims it can speed up deployment of HPC projects by up to 75% and reducing capital expenditures by up to 40%.
企业可以在数据中心环境中部署服务，无论是自己的企业还是在哪个地点设施中，并获得完全托管服务，允许他们仅用于他们使用的内容。
这是一个很大的事项，因为HPC对进入的财务障碍非常高：服务器，网络，存储和冷却硬件，以及特殊电源。HPE说，A.索赔40％的开支减少使其可用于更广泛的市场。
记住,GreenLake(和戴尔和联想的需求TruScale Infrastructure Services) are the alternative to up-front hardware acquisition. Instead of buying outright, the customer pays a monthly usage fee—a lease—and has the option of the vendor managing the hardware. When the lease is up, instead of customers having to dispose of the hardware, the vendor takes it back.
HPE is going all out to support GreenLake. In 2019 it宣布通过Greenlake将通过Greenlake提供的所有HPE硬件的计划到2022年。HPC似乎是一个奇怪的选择，因为与传统的IT应用不同，它不断运行完整的倾斜。在可以快速加起来的计量场景中。
But Peter Ungaro, senior vice president and general manager of High Performance Computing & Mission Critical Solutions at HPE, says there are two drivers here that help to save money.
“First is that smaller HPC and AI systems don’t typically run at full utilization as the demand for them is less than the large systems,” he said via email “Also, customers may want to prototype, say an AI application, and then that application usage will scale over time as they move into production and have larger data volumes.”
“其次，我们也有客户不时不时地使用过多的”爆发“能力，这通常不会在日常使用。他说，这两种类型的客户都将从该解决方案的TCO受益匪浅。“
此外，由于它是一个托管服务，缺乏使用先进的HPC或AI系统的技能，设施或预算，否则就可以像大公司或政府机构一样利用这项技术，因为他补充说。
他说，商业用途可能涉及可变的工作负载，其中HPC，AI和ML技术有助于核心业务流程，如医疗保健诊断，金融服务中的欺诈检测，或计算流体动力学。
While hardware is at the center of GreenLake, it involves a lot of software. HPE GreenLake Central is a platform for customers to manage and optimize their HPC services. HPE Self-service dashboard enables users to run and manage HPC clusters on their own, without disrupting workloads, through a point-and-click interface, and HPE Consumption Analytics provides analytics of usage and cost based on metering.
对于HPC硬件，HPE还提供HPC，AI和App服务，它将HPC工作负载标准化和包装到容器中，使其更易于现代化，转移和访问数据。
HPE计划将HPC扩展到HPC的HPE绿色服务云服务，包括将来的Cray-Compute，Software，Storage和网络扩展。
HPE的HPE绿色球蛋白服务的初始预捆绑产品将在2021年春季全球范围内全球可用。
