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.

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[5], freeing IT resources.
'HPE Private Cloud Business Edition has paid for itself with what we are saving on legacy support contracts, as-a-service consumption, datacenter space and energy efficiency,' said Roberto Valenta, corporate technology & operations IT manager, Aeropuertos Argentina. 'The performance, scalability and reliability are the backbone of our mission-critical workloads from flight tracking to airport arrivals and departures. Business Edition powers our vision to deliver faster, stress-free services that reduce waiting, check-in, and security times for flyers.'
Commvault, a leader in cyber resilience and data protection solutions, will be the first VM Essentials ecosystem partner to support image-based VM backup and recovery with an upcoming release in May.
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[6].
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[7].
The combination of VM Essentials and HPE Aruba Networking CX 10000 lowers TCO by up to 48 percent[8], increases performance by up to 10X[9], 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 and modernization with enterprise-grade services
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. HPE was recently named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Hybrid IT Infrastructure Consulting and Integration Services 2025 Vendor Assessment[10].

SolarWinds Named Among Notable Vendors in New AIOps Landscape Report - Middle East Business News and Information
SolarWinds AIOps-powered observability provides predictive intelligence to help manage complex hybrid IT environments and enables a shift toward autonomous operations Dubai, United Arab Emirates —March, 2023—SolarWinds (NYSE:SWI), a leading provider of simple, powerful, and secure IT management software, was named among notable AIOps vendors by Forrester in the new report, The Process-Centric AIOps Landscape, Q1 2023. SolarWinds was included in the report in the 'large' vendor market size segment, a category which includes companies with over $150 million in product revenue. Forrester describes AIOps as a 'practice that combines human and technological applications of AI/ML, advanced analytics, and operational practices with business and operations data.' The February 2023 report states that, 'Environment complexity, data volumes, lack of data science expertise, and entrenchment of technology-centric vendors pose challenges to process-centric AIOps solutions.' The report also lists several primary AIOps use cases capable of benefiting customers, including: Increasing operational awareness and event noise reduction Data-driven automation and remediation Operational anomaly and root cause detection Real-time monitoring and observability Intelligent and suggestive alerting 'We're thrilled to be recognized among notable AIOps vendors by Forrester,' said SolarWinds GVP, Product Management Cullen Childress. 'Modern IT environments and applications are too complex, dynamic, and expansive for humans alone to manually process and analyze the enormous amount of data collected. AIOps has become an invaluable tool for technology teams. Our AIOps-powered solutions help organizations analyze huge amounts of data in real time so they can identify and predict digital service issues and resolve them before business activities or clients are affected.' 'Although AIOps receives less fanfare than other AI-powered technology such as ChatGPT,' Childress continued, 'its application helps organizations take the critical steps toward proactive management of digital services and move toward autonomous operations, which will require little to no human intervention.' Advanced AIOps capabilities are part of the cloud-native SolarWinds® Platform. All components of the SolarWinds Platform leverage these capabilities, including SolarWinds Observability and the company's service management solutions. Powerful SolarWinds AIOps was built to help businesses overcome today's paradox of having too much data and not enough insights. With AIOps-powered observability, organizations can integrate data from across complex hybrid IT environments, receiving the actionable, predictive intelligence they need to optimize performance, reduce costs, and take steps toward autonomous operations. Similarly, with AIOps-powered service management, companies can resolve service issues faster than ever before, reducing toil and relieving the pressure on end-user services teams. SolarWinds solutions provide maximum visibility into the state of any IT environment—whether it's on-premises or hybrid—while enabling fast and accurate performance analysis, anomaly detection, issue remediation, root cause analysis, and alert noise reduction. SolarWinds offers multiple AIOps-powered observability solutions to support customers no matter where they are on their cloud journeys. The company recently unveiled SolarWinds Observability, its first fully integrated, cloud-native offering supporting complex multi-cloud environments and featuring extensibility through a native open-source (OpenTelemetry) framework and third-party integrations. SolarWinds also introduced a new version of Hybrid Cloud Observability, which can be deployed in company data centers but seamlessly implemented in hybrid cloud environments, enabling customers to migrate from on-premises to software as a service (SaaS) at their own pace.
