Transform your virtualisation strategy with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software
With recent shifts in the virtualisation market, organisations are re-evaluating their strategies to reduce costs, avoid vendor lock-in, and simplify IT operations. Increasing complexity in hybrid environments, rising licensing fees, and evolving workload requirements are driving the need for more flexible, future-ready solutions.
To stay competitive, organisations need virtualisation platforms that deliver cloud-like agility and efficiency.
Streamline your virtualised workloads
HPE Morpheus VM Essentials is HPEs cost-effective alternative to VMware. It includes its own hypervisor HVM (based on KVM) that is licenses per socket (CPU) rather than the VMware per core model – saving you up to 90%.
HPE Morpheus VM Essentials will manage a mixed environment of both VMware ESXi and HVM, providing the main features you are used to with vCenter, including VM vending, external storage support, distributed workload placement, high availability and HVM live migration, integrated data protection and more. It will allow you to easily migrate VMware VMs to HVM. If you still need to run some VMware this can all be managed though the single HPE Morpheus Essentials console, reducing complexity in a dual hypervisor environment.
HPE Morpheus VM Essentials is vendor agnostic and can run on any server and includes HPE’s enterprise-class global support as well as integrations with other HPE and 3rd party technologies.

How do I start to take advantage….
The first step is a Kubus led HPE Cloud Physics assessment. This involves installing an Observer on each vCenter server to monitor the environment for 7 days. The result is a report that allows Kubus to model the best approaches and options to reducing your costs. Options may include:
1) Migrating to the HVM
2) Optimising the existing VMware deployment
3) Upgrading to newer more efficient servers
Kubus is here to help ensure that any combination of these options is implemented smoothly, so you can start benefiting from a more flexible and lower cost approach to your virtualisation.
