HP Enterprise (HPE) has redefined the way private cloud is managed and orchestrated by using its HPE Morpheus Software. HPE is transforming how enterprises modernize hybrid IT for cost efficiency, performance and simplicity
Towards that end, HPE has made its HPE Private Cloud Business Edition available with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, which reduces up to 90 percent of VM license costs with multi-hypervisor support and self-service cloud consumption. The new savings add to the estimated 2.5X lower total cost of ownership (TCO) provided by the industry’s leading disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure (dHCI).
Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President & General manager of Hybrid Cloud & CTO at HP Enterprise, says, “Enterprises are at a pivotal moment in IT modernization where they must address escalating management complexity and increasing virtualization costs to free investments for core growth areas. We’re the leader in disaggregated infrastructure and our private cloud combines that leadership with new software for unified virtualization and cloud management. HPE is giving customers the choice, simplicity and cost efficiencies to outpace the competition and re-invest in innovation,”
This is to be remind that HPE Morpheus Software family is generally available and includes HPE Morpheus VM Essentials for virtualized workloads and HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software for unified cloud management. Both software offerings include the HVM hypervisor from HPE and are licensed per-socket to reduce TCO. VM Essentials customers will be able to upgrade to full HPE Morpheus Enterprise.
Radical savings and simplicity through HPE Morpheus VM Essentials
While many IT infrastructure providers are now recognizing the cost benefits of disaggregated infrastructure, HPE is redefining the full-stack private cloud through HPE Private Cloud Business Edition with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials. Business Edition, available as dHCI or HCI, enables organizations to choose optimized architecture for VMs from the edge to the data center. VM Essentials manages HPE VMs and traditional VMs, allowing customers to mix and match VMs to suit their needs.
VM Essentials is designed for global deployment and supported by comprehensive enterprise services available from the infrastructure to the workload. HPE automates infrastructure setup and lifecycle management for Business Edition and AIOps predict and prevents up to 86 percent of issues, freeing IT resources.
HPE Morpheus Software unifies cloud management and lowers costs
New HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software unifies cloud management for larger enterprises and service providers. From a simple interface, organizations can manage and govern virtualized, container-based and third-party runtimes across bare metal, on-prem and public cloud infrastructure. HPE Morpheus Enterprise automates application provisioning to deliver approximately 150X faster deployment of apps into virtually any hypervisor or cloud plus up to 30 percent lower cloud costs with analytics-powered rightsizing.
Morpheus Enterprise and VM Essentials are hardware-agnostic, standalone software and are newly validated to run on Dell PowerEdge servers and NetApp AFF arrays, in addition to HPE ProLiant Compute Gen 11 and Gen12 servers. New HPE ProLiant Gen 12 servers enable customers to consolidate and save up to 27 percent on virtualization software, 65 percent on power per year and a 7:1 reduced data center footprint[vii].
The combination of VM Essentials and HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 lowers TCO by up to 48 percent[viii], increases performance by up to 10X, and provides microsegmentation, DPU (data processing unit) acceleration and enhanced security. VM Essentials also provides simple, granular storage management for the HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000.
HPE simplifies virtualization transformation
New HPE Cloud Platform Services – Virtualization Modernization ease virtualization modernization. HPE Services provides a dedicated assessment, an end-to-end process for robust landing zones, and services for re-platforming workloads, modernizing infrastructure, migrating data, educating team members, and managing infrastructure to reduce overhead.
Availability
HPE Private Cloud Business Edition with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials is available now. New Business Edition systems with HPE SimpliVity will be available in the third quarter of 2025.
HPE Morpheus Software integration for HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 is also available and is planned for June 2025 for HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000.
While, HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software is available now as standalone software.
