As organizations modernize their IT environments – exploring hybrid cloud, scaling for AI, and managing increasingly complex workloads – virtualization remains a foundational pillar. Recent industry shifts have prompted many to reassess their virtualization strategy, with flexibility, simplicity, and cost control top of mind.
To support this evolving need, HPE has launched HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software – a new hypervisor that gives customers more choice and control. Designed to reduce complexity and avoid lock-in, it provides a unified, intuitive interface for managing both Kernel-based Virtual Machines (KVMs) and VMware-based virtual machines (VMs) – helping teams adapt quickly without disruption.
Why HPE VM Essentials?
VM Essentials offers a streamlined, cost-effective approach to virtualization by providing a unified management of both VMware-based VMs and KVM. You can manage your existing VMware & VM Essentials workloads, re-platform to HPE’s KVM-based hypervisor, and enjoy a simpler VM-vending experience – all without vendor lock-in.
Exploring alternatives to VMware? VM Essentials is an ideal fit.
However, due to the shared nature of underlying hardware, VMs can be the target for attackers to access critical data or propagate malware across a network. Therefore, helping to maintain resilient, secure, and scalable data protection becomes more important than ever – and that’s where Commvault shines.
Built for VME: Data Protection Without the Complexity
Commvault now includes the capability to protect VMs in VM Essentials using image-based, agentless backup – delivering faster recovery, simplified operations, and greater flexibility. Agentless backups capture the entire VM, including the OS, applications, settings, and data.
Here’s how this powerful combination helps businesses stay ahead:
- Granular recovery for precision and speed: Restore exactly what you need – whether it’s a single file, a specific database, or a full VM. This flexibility accelerates recovery times and minimizes disruption, helping to keep your business running smoothly.
- Simple, scalable, and resilient: Together, HPE and Commvault deliver enterprise-grade protection tailored for virtual environments, with resiliency, automation, and scalability that grows with your growing business needs.
Whether you’re starting fresh with virtualization or evolving your current stack, VM Essentials + Commvault helps you modernize with confidence – without compromising on performance, security, or simplicity.
Modernize with peace of mind. Protect with purpose. Move forward with Commvault and HPE.
