HPE Morpheus
One control plane for every VM, container, and cloud, with predictable costs
Overview
HPE Morpheus gives IT teams a single control plane to provision, govern, and automate workloads across VMs, containers, and clouds. It cuts virtualization costs with simple per-socket licensing, lets you run any hypervisor side by side, and frees you to modernize at your own pace without forced migrations or vendor lock-in.
Why HPE Morpheus
Unified hybrid cloud operations
Orchestrate virtual machines, containers, and public clouds from one place, with shared provisioning, automation, governance, and AI-assisted operations.
Cut virtualization costs up to 90%
Predictable per-socket pricing and unified VMware and HVM management help you avoid per-core price hikes and trim spend without sacrificing capability.
Modernize on your terms
An open architecture runs any hypervisor and any cloud together, so you move workloads where they fit best with no forced re-platforming.
Self-service that speeds delivery
A central catalog gives teams on-demand access to IT resources, removing manual handoffs and getting applications into production far faster.
Built-in governance and FinOps
Role-based policies keep access secure while unified cost analytics, budgets, and rightsizing help cut hybrid cloud spend by around 30%.
Guided VMware migration
Automated workflows move VMs from VMware to KVM-based HPE virtual machine clusters gradually, reducing cost, risk, and downtime.
