A hybrid management plane purpose-built for the post-VMware world

HPE Morpheus Enterprise and VM Essentials deliver a hardware-agnostic management layer designed for IT teams rethinking their virtualization strategy. Built on a proven KVM hypervisor with the feature set enterprise teams expect, Morpheus acts as a manager-of-managers across VMware, HPE VME, multi-cloud, Kubernetes, and containers — replacing rip-and-replace pressure with a measured, workload-by-workload path forward. Connection brings the assessment, design, and deployment expertise to make it work in your environment.

Read the Brief

Modernize on your terms, not someone else's timeline

Run VMware and HPE VME side by side
Run VMware and HPE VME side by side
Predictable cost with per-processor licensing
While the rest of the market shifted to core-based licensing, HPE VME licenses by processor. The math gets predictable, capacity planning gets simpler, and your team can finally make the infrastructure moves that have been on hold.
Hardware-agnostic by design
Morpheus and VME are validated across HPE and major third-party OEMs. Run on the hardware you already own. No forced refresh, no rip-and-replace mindset.
One platform, full-stack visibility
Manage hypervisors, multi-cloud, Kubernetes, and containers from a single console. Pair with HPE OpsRamp for monitoring, Zerto for resiliency, SimpliVity for HCI, and Private Cloud Business Edition for turnkey private cloud — all integrated, all supported by Connection.
