HPE Discover Las Vegas 2025

HPE’s rise as a credible virtualization player started with Morpheus acquisition

HPE’s acquisition of Morpheus, a multi-cloud management platform, and its subsequent integration into the HPE stack, is highlighted in this Techzine TV interview with Brad Parks, HPE Morpheus CPO.

HPE Morpheus Product Lines

  • VM Essentials – Basic virtualization capabilities
  • Morpheus Enterprise – Advanced features comparable to VMware vSphere and VCF

Key Differentiators

Unlike VMware, Morpheus focuses on managing heterogeneous environments across multiple hypervisors, containers, and public clouds, offering a unified platform and automation capabilities exceeding VMware’s ARIA.

HPE Integration and Positioning

The platform integrates with HPE’s Private Cloud offerings, with future integrations planned for HPE Aruba Networking and storage technologies. HPE positions Morpheus as a cost-effective alternative to VMware, also for VCF customers, addressing the challenges of managing complex, multi-cloud infrastructures and enabling a technology-agnostic cloud operating model.
