Greenlake Management Services (GMS)
Hewlett Packard Enterprise set a target to have their entire portfolio -as-a-service by 2022. As this continues to move forward for geographies such as the USA and Europe, Caribbean and Central America have yet to benefit from these financial models for hardware pay per use, better known as consumption model. Rest assured that Westham is working hard to bring a pure Greenlake hardware consumption model to you, but for now we are only able to provide a similar model (“Blue Lake”) via financial institutions for very select channels, on a project-to-project basis.

What is Greenlake Management Services?
In a nutshell, GMS is the combination of the best parts of IT Out-tasking and Outsourcing.
IT out-tasking allows businesses to pass specific IT operations to another organization. The company providing the out-tasking, has specific expertise, with tool and best practices, and performing operations duties only. They have no end-to-end responsibility, and the customer has control over their environment. No people or assets to transfer.
Outsourcing transfers the management and execution of the entire IT function to an external provider. In this case the company providing the services has end-to-end responsibility. From the strategy to the operations. The business outcomes are guaranteed.
GMS can provide many levels of services.
- You or your customer maintains control of the strategy.
