Seamless Compliance Archiving in HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Environments
Modernizing Virtualization Without Disruption
As organizations gain momentum to break free from their existing virtualization platform due to licensing costs, management complexity, and vendor lock-in, there is no better time to consider HPE’s new virtualization solution, HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software.
This solution allows you to provision and manage HVM (KVM-based) and VMware ESXi VMs from a single intuitive interface. The HVM hypervisor includes enterprise-grade cluster management with capabilities such as high availability, live migration, distributed workload placement, integrated data protection, secure hardening, and external storage support.
Workloads that are not yet ready to migrate to another virtualization solution due to a lack of hypervisor support can simply run VMware ESXi VMs side by side until they are supported.
If regulatory compliance is a key requirement for your organization and you already use iTernity iCAS Classic in your current virtualization environment, you can continue to run your trusted long-term archiving solution seamlessly on HPE Morpheus VM Essentials.
The platform’s flexible architecture and pluggable framework enable solutions from partner ecosystems, such as iTernity iCAS Classic, to integrate smoothly. This allows organizations to modernize their virtualization infrastructure without disrupting their existing compliance and archiving strategies when transitioning from legacy virtualization platforms.
Ensuring Compliance During the Transition
