This role grants them the ability to manage users, assign roles, and control access within the HPE GreenLake environment, ensuring that they have full administrative control over the account from the outset.

Given the shift to a read-intensive workload, adding a tier of SSD (Solid State Drives) will significantly improve the read I/O performance of the environment. Implementing thin provisioned virtual volumes allows the storage to be allocated more efficiently, optimizing the use of available SSD resources. This combination ensures that the customer can meet the new performance demands without overspending, making it the best option for a budget-restricted scenario.
