HPE Expands GreenLake and Morpheus

HPE expanded its GreenLake hybrid cloud portfolio at Discover Barcelona 2025, rolling out updates across virtualization, AI infrastructure, data protection, and cloud operations as enterprises reassess workload placement strategies. With rising licensing costs and growing demand for AI-ready environments, HPE framed the expanded GreenLake suite as a unified operating model spanning virtualized, cloud-native, and AI workloads across hybrid cloud deployments.

The company introduced major capabilities for HPE Morpheus Software as an enterprise-grade option for virtualization, including zero-trust software-defined networking based on HPE Juniper Networking technology, automated switch provisioning through HPE Apstra, stretched clusters with synchronous replication across metro sites, Kubernetes and container support, and integrated continuous data protection via HPE Zerto. HPE Morpheus will also support hypervisor-level backups through Veeam Data Platform v13, with general availability targeted for early 2026. HPE OpsRamp, Morpheus, and Zerto are now available individually or together in the HPE CloudOps suite.

HPE also deepened its NVIDIA collaboration with new AI-focused data and compute capabilities. The Alletra Storage MP X10000 Data Intelligence Nodes adopt NVIDIA’s AI Data Platform reference design to build an active data layer for AI pipelines, while HPE Private Cloud AI adds RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, STIG-hardened and FIPS-enabled NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, and new operational tools. HPE rounded out the portfolio with next-generation StoreOnce 5720 and 7700 backup systems, offering up to 300 TB/hour ingest for rapid protection of critical workloads and enhanced confidential computing support across AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA-based systems. Updates to GreenLake—including CloudPhysics Plus, Cloud Commit, and an enhanced Marketplace—aim to simplify cloud operations and financing across hybrid environments.

• HPE Morpheus updates include zero-trust SDN, Apstra-based automated provisioning, stretched clusters with synchronous replication, integrated Zerto continuous data protection, and Veeam hypervisor-level backup

• Alletra Storage MP X10000 introduces NVIDIA-aligned data intelligence nodes for real-time AI data pipelines

• Private Cloud AI adds NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs and hardened NVIDIA AI Enterprise for air-gapped environments

• StoreOnce 5720/7700 backup systems offer up to 300 TB/hour ingest for ultra-fast data protection and direct-mount recovery workflows

• HPE expands confidential computing with AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA across compute and GPU environments

• New GreenLake capabilities include CloudPhysics Plus, Cloud Commit, and an enhanced Marketplace

• HPEFS expands financing for CloudOps, Morpheus, OpsRamp, Zerto, and Alletra Storage

“We offer a comprehensive cloud portfolio engineered to solve the challenges that matter most to our customers, while giving them the confidence to move fast and stay ahead of their competition,” said Fidelma Russo, executive vice president of hybrid cloud and CTO at HPE.

🌐 Analysis:

HPE continues to push GreenLake as a full-stack enterprise alternative to VMware-centric virtualization and traditional public cloud expansion, particularly as enterprises reassess virtualization costs and AI deployment strategies. The deeper integration with NVIDIA—spanning Blackwell GPUs, hardened AI Enterprise software, and an AI-optimized data layer—positions HPE more directly against Dell APEX, Lenovo TruScale, and Oracle Alloy in emerging sovereign and regulated AI markets. The StoreOnce 7700’s all-flash design and confidential computing roadmap reinforce HPE’s focus on secure AI data operations, an area gaining urgency across industries.
