The HPE private cloud portfolio expands to combine flexible, enterprise-grade software for virtualized workloads and unified cloud management with the industry’s leading disaggregated infrastructure
Hewlett Packard Enterprise has unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in the realm of private cloud solutions, further solidifying its position as an industry leader. Building on nearly a decade of innovation and the robust capabilities of HPE Morpheus Software, HPE is redefining private cloud performance, cost-efficiency, and simplicity for enterprises looking to modernize their hybrid IT infrastructure.
Revolutionizing Private Cloud with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials HPE Private Cloud Business Edition, now featuring HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, offers enterprises the potential to reduce virtual machine (VM) license costs by up to 90% through multi-hypervisor support and self-service cloud consumption. This significant cost reduction complements the estimated 2.5X lower total cost of ownership (TCO) achieved through HPE’s cutting-edge disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure (dHCI).
The HPE Morpheus Software suite is now generally available, offering two core solutions: HPE Morpheus VM Essentials for managing virtualized workloads and HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software for comprehensive cloud management. Both options include the HVM hypervisor from HPE and are licensed per socket, minimizing TCO. VM Essentials users can seamlessly upgrade to the full HPE Morpheus Enterprise.
Simplifying IT Modernization for Enterprises New services from HPE aim to streamline virtualization modernization for organizations of all sizes.
“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 are 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,” said Fidelma Russo, executive vice president and general manager of Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE.
Unmatched Savings and Simplicity for Private Cloud As the industry increasingly recognizes the cost-saving advantages of disaggregated infrastructure, HPE takes it a step further by offering a complete private cloud solution with HPE Private Cloud Business Edition and HPE Morpheus VM Essentials. This flexible edition, available as both dHCI and HCI, allows businesses to select the most suitable VM architecture from edge to data center. With VM Essentials, enterprises can efficiently manage both HPE and traditional VMs, customizing their environments according to their needs.
