HPE GreenLake Private Cloud Enterprise is a fully managed cloud service that delivers a unified self-

service infrastructure provisioning experience to IT and application administrators and

developers1. It supports the deployment of bare metal, containers, and virtual machines workloads

across datacenters, colocation facilities, or edge locations1. It also provides a consistent cloud

experience across any application or workload, whether traditional or cloud-native1.

One of the workload services offered as part of HPE GreenLake Private Cloud Enterprise is VMware

ESXi virtual machines. VMware ESXi is a hypervisor that enables the creation and management of

virtual machines on a physical server2. VMware ESXi virtual machines can run various operating

systems and applications, and can be migrated, cloned, or backed up using VMware tools2. HPE

GreenLake Private Cloud Enterprise integrates with VMware vCenter Server to provide a seamless

user interface for provisioning and managing VMware ESXi virtual machines3. Users can also

leverage VMware vRealize Automation and vRealize Operations for advanced automation and

orchestration capabilities3.

Another workload service offered as part of HPE GreenLake Private Cloud Enterprise is Bare Metal

servers. Bare Metal servers are physical servers that are dedicated to a single tenant and do not run

any hypervisor or virtualization layer4. Bare Metal servers can offer higher performance, security,

and customization than virtual machines, as they eliminate the overhead and complexity of

virtualization4. HPE GreenLake Private Cloud Enterprise enables users to provision and manage Bare

Metal servers using a self-service portal or an API5. Users can also choose from various server

models, configurations, and operating systems to suit their workload needs5.

The other options, such as Microsoft Azure Stack HCI, Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines, Google

Distributed Cloud Hosted, and serverless functions, are not workload services offered as part of HPE

GreenLake Private Cloud Enterprise. Microsoft Azure Stack HCI and Microsoft Hyper-V virtual

machines are alternative virtualization solutions that are not supported by HPE GreenLake Private

Cloud Enterprise1. Google Distributed Cloud Hosted is a cloud service that extends Google Cloud

Platform to customer premises or edge locations, but it is not integrated with HPE GreenLake Private

Cloud Enterprise. Serverless functions are a cloud computing model that executes code without

requiring users to provision or manage servers, but they are not available as a workload service in

HPE GreenLake Private Cloud Enterprise1.
