HPE launches the industry's most advanced private cloud portfolio to transform how enterprises modernize hybrid IT
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
United Arab Emirates – May 19, 2025 – Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced a generational leap forward for the industry's most advanced private cloud portfolio[1], redefining what a private cloud delivers to customers through nearly a decade of leadership and HPE Morpheus Software. HPE is transforming how enterprises modernize hybrid IT for cost efficiency, performance and simplicity and is announcing the following:
HPE Private Cloud Business Edition is now available with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, which reduces up to 90 percent of VM license costs[2] with multi-hypervisor support and self-service cloud consumption. The new savings add to the estimated 2.5X[3] lower total cost of ownership (TCO) provided by the industry's leading disaggregated hyperconverged infrastructure (dHCI)[4].
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.
New services simplify virtualization modernization for customers 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.
HPE Private Cloud Business Edition offers 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.
Proven, enterprise-grade, virtualization solution: VM Essentials is designed for global deployment and supported by comprehensive enterprise services available from the infrastructure to the workload.
