HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software is the full orchestration and automation platform — one governed, self-service control plane across virtual machines (VMs), containers, and clouds, so teams provision and manage workloads across every environment from one place.
Where HPE Morpheus VM Essentials unifies virtualization, Morpheus Enterprise Software expands orchestration to full multicloud and container management — a self-service catalog, automation, and governance across your data center, private cloud, public cloud, and edge. It is the enterprise edition of HPE Morpheus Software.
| Target workload | Hybrid and multicloud orchestration, self-service, and automation across VMs, containers, and clouds |
|---|---|
| Environments | On-premises, private cloud, public cloud, and edge — multi-hypervisor and Kubernetes (K8s) |
| Billing metric | Software subscription; available as part of HPE GreenLake |
| Key advantage | One governed self-service control plane across the entire hybrid estate |
