FAQs

What business problems do HPE virtualization solution address?

HPE Virtualization Solutions address rising virtualization costs, vendor lock‑in, and operational complexity caused by traditional VMware‑centric environments. They restore predictable VM economics while simplifying operations across on‑premises, hybrid cloud, and edge infrastructure, supporting traditional, cloud‑native, and AI workloads from a unified control plane.

Is HPE an enterprise-grade virtualization alternative?

Yes. HPE Virtualization Solutions provide an enterprise‑grade alternative for running production virtualized workloads. They support multi‑hypervisor environments, predictable licensing models, and unified operations—allowing organizations to modernize and diversify their virtualization strategy without being locked into a single vendor.

How do HPE Virtualization solutions reduce virtualization costs?

HPE Virtualization Solutions reduce virtualization costs through predictable, socket‑based licensing and unified multi‑hypervisor management. Organizations avoid escalating per‑core or per‑feature pricing, minimize over‑licensing, and place workloads where they are most cost‑effective—without forced re‑platforming, refactoring, or operational sprawl.

How much can organizations save with HPE Virtualization Solutions?

According to an Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) Economic Validation, organizations can reduce virtualization license costs by 50%–97% and lower total cost of ownership by up to 2.9x, depending on environment and workload mix. Savings are driven by predictable licensing, multi‑hypervisor flexibility, and reduced operational complexity.

Do HPE Virtualization Solutions support both VMs and containers?

Yes. HPE Virtualization Solutions support both traditional virtual machines and Kubernetes‑based containerized workloads. Using HPE Morpheus Enterprise software, organizations can operate legacy applications and modern cloud‑native workloads together with consistent governance, automation, and operational controls.

Are HPE Virtualization Solutions enterprise-class?

Yes. HPE Virtualization Solutions are built and supported as enterprise‑class platforms for running mission‑critical production workloads. They include high availability, live migration, clustered architectures, external storage, integrated data protection, and enterprise support across HPE Morpheus VM Essentials and HPE Private Cloud Business Edition.

What skills will my team need to operate HPE Virtualization solutions?

HPE Virtualization Solutions reduce the need for specialized, platform‑specific skills by consolidating operations under a single control plane and using policy‑driven automation.
Teams benefit from general cloud, hybrid infrastructure, and automation knowledge—rather than deep expertise in a single hypervisor or Kubernetes internals.

Will I be locked into a single vendor or runtime?

No. HPE Virtualization Solutions are designed to avoid vendor lock‑in.
They support multiple hypervisors, runtimes, and infrastructure targets under a unified management plane—enabling true workload portability, flexible placement, and long‑term architectural freedom.
