Your organisation doesn’t use one tool but multiple. Perhaps a dozen or more. One for the hypervisor, one for VMs, another for containers, and so on. Someone and something has to watch over it all and make sense of the complexity.

That spread will hold you back from being agile and make your IT department’s workload significantly greater than it needs to be.

HPE Morpheus Enterprise pulls that spread into one. It manages virtual machines, containers, bare metal and public cloud from a single console, whether a workload runs on HVM, VMware, Nutanix, or in AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.

It builds on VM Essentials, so moving up is a licence change through the same installer, not a rebuild. The sprawl doesn’t get managed better. It stops being sprawl.

What the automation does

Containers, Kubernetes, and AI workloads are going to arrive on your doorstep whether your tooling is ready or not. Morpheus Enterprise takes the shift and lets you roll with it via several automation features:

  • Self-serve provisioning. Your developers can pull VMs, containers, and apps from a catalogue, on request. Set the rules, and your team can provision within them. HPE says you can provision workloads up to 150x faster.
  • Role-based access control. With permissions and approvals. Dictate who can provision what and maintain oversight over your stack.
  • HPE Alletra storage, Aruba networking, and more. HPE Morpheus brings your tools together.
  • Cost controls. There’s a FinOps dashboard that shows team workload costs. You can charge it back to them and cut spend with budgets. HPE reports up to 30% cost reductions from using the tool’s suggestions.

Ready for what’s next

Morpheus Enterprise’s orchestration is built for machine learning, GPU provisioning, and integration with AI platforms by default.

The workloads this is built for include containerised machine-learning models, GPU-heavy training jobs, and the low-code AI tools teams use to build them, all in the same estate.

Kubernetes clusters are also managed alongside your VMs, so your containers and VMs stop being separate — crucial if you’re scaling containerised apps.
