HP Selling HPE AI and As-a-Service Solutions : HPE2-E84 exam

A customer wants to deploy a full-stack AI solution that is optimized for both AI training and inference workloads. They are concerned about the complexity of integrating servers, storage, networking, and the AI software stack from different vendors.
How does the 'NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE' portfolio address this specific customer concern? (Select all that apply.)

• A. By providing a curated set of AI software and models, including the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite.
• B. By allowing customers to select and integrate their own choice of components from any third-party vendor.
• C. By delivering a seamless, cloud-like experience for AI development and deployment through HPE GreenLake.
• D. By offering a pre-validated, full-stack solution that is co-engineered by HPE and NVIDIA.
• E. By focusing exclusively on providing the server hardware and leaving software integration to the customer.

A retail customer experiences massive, unpredictable spikes in e-commerce traffic during holiday seasons. Their current infrastructure is sized for average use, leading to slow performance and lost sales during peak times. They need a solution that can handle these spikes without forcing them to overpay for idle capacity the rest of the year.
Customer Requirements:
- Workload: E-commerce platform with highly variable demand.
- Problem: Poor performance during unpredictable traffic spikes.
- Financial Constraint: Avoid paying for peak-level capacity year-round.
Which HPE GreenLake offering is specifically designed to solve this business problem?

• A. HPE Financial Services Asset Upcycling.
• B. HPE GreenLake Flex Solution, with a committed capacity for normal operations and a pay-for-use buffer for peak demand.
• C. HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Business Edition with a fixed monthly cost.
• D. A three-year fixed lease on HPE ProLiant servers sized for peak capacity.

A customer is implementing a complex HPE GreenLake solution that includes private cloud, data protection, and networking components. The customer's IT team is highly skilled in their legacy environment but has no experience with cloud operating models or managing an as-a-service platform.
Customer Profile:
- Technical Expertise: Strong in traditional IT, weak in cloud/AaS.
- Project Scope: Complex, multi-workload HPE GreenLake deployment.
- Key Concern: "How do we ensure a smooth transition and that my team can effectively manage this new environment without extensive trial and error?" Which HPE Service offering should be positioned as essential for this customer's success?

• A. HPE Operational Services.
• B. HPE Financial Services Asset Upcycling.
• C. Basic break/fix hardware support.
• D. A simple services credit with the GreenLake contract.

A partner is hesitant to lead with HPE GreenLake because they are accustomed to the large, upfront revenue and margin from traditional hardware sales.
Partner Objection:
"The as-a-service model seems like it will reduce my initial deal size and profitability.
Why should I change my sales motion from a traditional CapEx sale to a GreenLake OpEx deal?" How should an HPE channel manager explain the benefits of the as-a-service model *for the partner*?

• A. Explain that the partner can build a recurring revenue stream, increasing their business valuation and customer lifetime value.
• B. Advise the partner to only sell HPE GreenLake to customers who do not have any capital budget.
• C. Tell the partner they will make the exact same upfront margin as a traditional sale.
• D. State that as-a-service deals require less sales effort and technical knowledge.
• E. Emphasize that the partner can add their own managed services on top of the HPE GreenLake platform to create new, high-margin offerings.

An HPE partner has a successful HPE GreenLake deployment with a mid-sized financial services client. The partner is analyzing the customer's usage data in the HPE GreenLake platform to find opportunities for growth.
Consumption Analytics Insights:
- Compute usage is stable and predictable.
- Storage consumption is growing at 20% month-over-month.
- The customer has not yet enabled any of the advanced data protection services.
- Network traffic to public clouds is increasing, suggesting new hybrid application development.
Based on this analysis, what are the most logical expansion opportunities for the partner to propose? (Choose 2.)

• A. Recommend replacing all existing storage with a larger, upfront capital purchase.
• B. Propose reducing the customer's compute commitment to save them money.
• C. Suggest the customer stop developing hybrid applications.
• D. Propose adding HPE GreenLake for Backup and Recovery to protect their growing data.
• E. Propose adding OpsRamp to provide visibility and management for their new hybrid applications.
