The HPE GreenLake as a Service solution, optimizes operations through metering and capacity management, so that resources required for each workload are ready to deploy in minutes, not months. HPE Synergy allows PHS to dynamically compose and configure new resources for faster application provisioning. Since implementing HPE GreenLake and HPE Synergy, Porsche Informatik has improved application performance, decreased data center complexity, and increased responsiveness, allowing PHS to innovate and better serve employees, dealers and customers on a global scale.
