Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has launched an advanced private cloud portfolio to help enterprises modernise hybrid IT. The HPE private cloud portfolio expands to combine flexible, enterprise-grade software for virtualised workloads and unified cloud management with disaggregated infrastructure.
HPE Private Cloud Business Edition offers simplicity through HPE Morpheus VM Essentials. Business Edition, available as dHCI or HCI, enables organisations to choose optimised 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, including:
Proven, enterprise-grade, virtualisation solution: VM Essentials is designed for global deployment and supported by comprehensive enterprise services available from the infrastructure to the workload.
AI-driven experience from setup to operations: HPE automates infrastructure setup and lifecycle management for Business Edition and AIOps predict and prevents up to 86% of issues , freeing IT resources.
Meanwhile, new HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software unifies cloud management for larger enterprises and service providers. From a simple interface, organisations can manage and govern virtualised, 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% on virtualisation software, 65% on power per year and a 7:1 reduced data center footprint.
The combination of VM Essentials and HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 lowers TCO by up to 48%, increases performance by up to 10X9 , 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 Services provides a dedicated assessment, an end-to-end process for robust landing zones, and services for re-platforming workloads, modernising infrastructure, migrating data, educating team members, and managing infrastructure to reduce overhead.
