The HPE Morpheus Software family is now available, featuring VM Essentials and HPE Morpheus Enterprise for unified cloud management. According to HPE, both software solutions include the HVM hypervisor and are licensed per-socket to reduce costs. Customers using VM Essentials can upgrade to Morpheus Enterprise as needed. HPE also introduced new services to simplify virtualization modernization for organizations of any size. Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE, stated that enterprises need to manage escalating complexity and rising virtualization costs. She noted that HPE's solution delivers the simplicity and flexibility needed to stay competitive. HPE emphasized that the Business Edition, available as dHCI or HCI, supports workloads across edge and data center environments. It allows customers to mix and manage HPE and traditional VMs. The company reported that its AI-driven infrastructure setup and AIOps can predict and prevent up to 86% of issues. This results in lower resource use and more reliable operations. Customer feedback highlights the impact. Aeropuertos Argentina reported significant savings and operational improvements with the Business Edition. It supports mission-critical airport workloads and has enhanced service delivery and efficiency. HPE also revealed that Commvault will be the first ecosystem partner for VM Essentials.
