According to the HPE GreenLake for Block Storage configuration overview, the following options are customizable for HPE GreenLake for Block Storage:

• Choice of RAID Level: Customizable. You can choose the RAID level for each virtual pool of storage based on your performance and availability requirements. The supported RAID levels are RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 101.
• Performance Tier: Customizable. You can choose the performance tier for each virtual pool of storage based on your workload characteristics and service level objectives. The available performance tiers are Performance, Business Critical, and Mission Critical1.
• Choice of Disk Size: Customizable. You can choose the disk size for each virtual pool of storage based on your capacity and density needs. The supported disk sizes are 1.92 TB, 3.84 TB, 7.68 TB, and 15.36 TB for SSDs, and 1.6 TB and 3.2 TB for SCM1.
• Availability SLA: NOT customizable. HPE GreenLake for Block Storage offers a built-in 100% data availability guarantee for mission-critical environments. This means that HPE will ensure that your data is always accessible and protected, and will compensate you for any downtime or data loss that may occur2.
• Network Interface/Connectivity: Customizable. You can choose the network interface and connectivity for each storage system based on your host and network requirements. The supported network interfaces are Fibre Channel and iSCSI, and the supported connectivity options are direct attach, switch attach, and SAN1.

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a protocol that allows Fibre Channel traffic to be encapsulated and transported over an Ethernet network. FCoE enables the convergence of storage and data networks, reducing the number of cables, switches, and adapters required for a dedicated lossless fabric. FCoE also preserves the features and benefits of Fibre Channel, such as high performance, reliability, security, and management. FCoE requires Enhanced Transmission Selection (ETS) and Priority-based Flow Control (PFC) to ensure lossless and low-latency transmission of storage traffic over Ethernet. HPE Aruba Ethernet-based storage fabrics support FCoE and provide cloud-like scalability and simplicity for data-driven applications1. References: Advanced HPE Edge-to-Cloud Solutions, Rev. 22.31 (0001196323) H61Z2S, HPE Aruba Ethernet-based storage fabrics bring cloud-like scalability to data-driven applications

 HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise is a cloud service that delivers a fully managed private cloud experience for bare metal, containers, and virtual machines in your private environment1. It offers a public cloud-like operating model with pay-per-use pricing, self-service provisioning, and consumption analytics1.

One of the financial key performance indicators (KPIs) that you can show via GreenLake Central, the online portal for managing and optimizing your HPE GreenLake services, is metered charges. Metered charges are the actual costs incurred by your usage of the HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise service, based on the resources you consume and the service level agreement you choose2. Metered charges are calculated and billed monthly, and you can view them in real time via GreenLake Central2.

Metered charges are an important financial KPI for a CFO, as they reflect the value and efficiency of the HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise service. By showing metered charges via GreenLake Central, you can demonstrate how the service aligns thecosts with the outcomes, reduces the upfront capital expenditure, and optimizes the cash flow of the business3. You can also compare the metered charges with the budgeted charges, which are the estimated costs based on the initial capacity and service level agreement, to show the variance and savings achieved by the service2.

The other options, such as ROI, TCO, and net present value, are not financial KPIs that you can show via GreenLake Central. ROI (return on investment) is a ratio that measures the profitability of an investment relative to its cost4. TCO (total cost of ownership) is a measure of the direct and indirect costs associated with acquiring and operating an asset or a service over its lifetime5. Net present value is a measure of the current value of a future stream of cash flows, discounted by a certain interest rate6. These are all useful financial metrics for evaluating the HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Enterprise service, but they are not directly available or calculated via GreenLake Central. They require additional data and analysis from other sources, such as financial statements, market research, or industry benchmarks.
