HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise is the correct choice because it delivers the as-a-service experience on dedicated infrastructure, which can be located in a customer’s data center or a colocation facility of their choice. This satisfies the data residency/sovereignty requirement while still providing the OpEx predictability and consumption model benefits of GreenLake. The ‘on-premises’ option is a broader category, but Private Cloud Enterprise is the specific offering designed for this controlled, dedicated infrastructure scenario.

HPE Service Guard for SAP HANA is the high-availability and disaster recovery solution tailored for SAP HANA on HPE infrastructure. It provides automated failover capabilities to protect against both hardware and software failures, directly addressing the customer’s concern about unplanned downtime. It also facilitates rolling upgrades for reduced planned downtime, making it the integral component for mission-critical SAP on GreenLake deployments.

The HPE GreenLake consumption model is typically structured around a committed minimum capacity (committed spend) established in the contract. The customer is billed for this minimum each period. Usage above this committed minimum is billed as actual measured consumption (on-demand). This structure provides cost predictability (the floor) while maintaining flexibility to scale and pay for extra usage. It is not a simple, unbounded pay-as-you-go model.

HPE GreenLake Cloud Volumes (Block) provides raw block-level storage, which is the required type for database workloads. The SSD Tier within this service is specifically designed for high-performance, low-latency I/O operations, meeting the requirement for consistent sub-millisecond latency. File and Object services are unsuitable for this low-latency database use case.

HPE GreenLake Central is the unified cloud-native management and operations console for the entire HPE GreenLake platform. It provides the single-pane-of-glass view for monitoring, managing, optimizing, and analyzing usage across the customer’s hybrid environment, including on-premises GreenLake services, edge locations, and public cloud integrations. HPE OneView manages individual HPE infrastructure, but GreenLake Central operates at the holistic service level.

Configuring SAML 2.0-based Single Sign-On (SSO) integrates HPE GreenLake with the customer’s corporate Identity Provider (e.g., Azure AD, Okta). This allows administrators to use their existing corporate credentials to access GreenLake services, centralizing identity management and meeting the security mandate. MFA is a related security best practice but does not itself enable IdP integration.

The HPE GreenLake Marketplace is a curated digital catalog where customers can discover, trial, and procure third-party software, SaaS applications, and professional services that are validated to run on or integrate with the HPE GreenLake platform. It simplifies the procurement and deployment of a complete solution stack, extending the value of the core GreenLake infrastructure services.

Immutable Object Lock (also known as Write-Once-Read-Many or WORM) is the feature designed specifically for this purpose. It prevents data from being modified or deleted for a user-defined retention period, ensuring compliance with legal hold and regulatory retention requirements. Encryption protects confidentiality but not integrity/retention. Snapshots are useful but can typically be deleted by users with sufficient permissions.

Predictive Capacity Planning, powered by HPE InfoSight, is the AI-driven capability that analyzes historical and real-time resource utilization patterns. It provides forecasts and recommendations for scaling resources (like adding hosts or VMs) proactively before performance is impacted, enabling a responsive and efficient consumption model. The other options are related optimizations but do not describe the predictive scaling function.
