An agile cloud operational experience and a simple cloud consumption model for private cloud infrastructure.

With this offering, customers can build their self-service cloud on demand and deliver virtual machines (VMs) across hybrid cloud, when they need it and where they need it in data centers, at the edge and beyond. HPE Private Cloud Business Edition comes with HPE VM Essentials and has the ability to manage virtual infrastructure based on VMware and/or VME.

What’s New

• − HPE Private Cloud Business Edition support for ProLiant Compute Gen12

  • • New Platform Support:

    • o HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12
    • o HPE ProLiant Compute DL380 Gen12
    • o HPE ProLiant Compute DL325 Gen12
• − HPE Private Cloud Business Edition includes HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software

  • • All Private Cloud Business Edition with Alletra MP will ship with HPE VM Essentials by default
  • • Choose between VM Essentials, VMware, or a combination of both (requires separate hosts and virtualization clusters) at the time of deployment.

Notes:

− iSCSI support only. FC and NVMeOF are not currently supported with HPE Private Cloud Business Edition

− Alletra 5k/6k platforms are not supported with HPE Private Cloud Business Edition with VM Essentials.

Key Features and Benefits

The latest key feature adds HPE VM Essentials Software as a supported hypervisor management platform for Private Cloud Business Edition with Alletra Storage MP B10000 systems. You can now deploy one of the available hypervisor runtimes:

• − VM Essentials manager: Use the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Manager Software Ul to manage servers, clusters, datastores, and virtual machines. For systems deployed with this configuration, you can use the Private Cloud Business Edition to monitor systems, but the following features are not supported within the Private Cloud Business Edition UI: Datastore management, VM management, cluster management, server management, and peer persistence with VME clusters.
• − vCenter Server: Systems deployed with this configuration require that you upload your own ESXI Image to a designated datastore for setup to complete deployment of VMware ESXi clusters.
• For more Information, see: HPE Private Cloud Business Edition with Alletra Storage MP B10000: Deployment guide for new Installations.

The core feature set includes:

• − Self-service setup: Accelerate agility and speed up deployments. It provides capability for VMware or VM Essentials at deployment
• − Observability: Global dash boarding (VM and Cluster information, capacity details/trends, performance details/trends, alerts).
• − LCM: Full Stack lifecycle management (automated catalogue-based updates of the various hardware, software, and firmware components vetted by HPE experts).
• − Management: On-prem console to provision and manage clusters and VM’s
• − Choice of runtime: Provides customer choice of either leveraging VMware or VM Essentials virtualization.
• − Run any application without compromise: All the capabilities of Alletra MP (Data Savings, snapshots, Replication*, snapshot, 100% uptime guarantees, Timeless etc.) apply.
• − Infrastructure Automation & Orchestration: Setup automation & full-stack lifecycle management
• − Future Proof IT: Leverage the same HW infrastructure to run multiple virtualization technologies.
• Notes: (Servers need to be dedicated to the respective hypervisor clusters)
• − Experience simplified virtualization: Provision & manage multiple hypervisor clusters (on-prem VME console)
• − Built-in Image Conversion: Built-in VM image conversion for easy movement of VMs across hypervisor clusters
• − Network automation: Ability to setup supported network switches during the setup phase eliminating manual configurations and network related complexities.
• − Lower TCO: Cost Efficient Virtualization platform. 4x to 25x cheaper.

Notes:

− Customermust download and supply their own VMware ESXi and vCenter binaries.

− PeerPersistence is supported with HPE Private Cloud Business Edition with VMware only.

− There are no differences in features and functionality between the standalone VM Essentials version and bundled VM Essentials version with HPE Private Cloud Business Edition.

Easy Configuration through Smart Templates for Pay-as-you-go

Fully pre-configured Smart Templates that allow quick and easy quoting exist for:

• − HPE Private Cloud Business Edition
• − HPE Private Cloud Business Edition for Equinix

Smart Templates for HPE Private Cloud Business Edition are pre-defined systems with storage, compute, and network components tailored for multiple workload types and use cases. Smart Templates are complete systems and do not require additional configuration but support optional customization of components as desired.

The Smart templates contain the following attributes to choose:

Workload Type – All flash (business-critical applications) or Hybrid Flash (general-purpose applications)

Workload Tier –

• a. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10120 Cost Optimized - Ideal for small/fixed-size general purpose virtualization workloads in ROBO and branch environments.
• b. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10130 Capacity Optimized - Ideal for large, general-purpose workloads such as data lakes, video surveillance & medical image retention
• c. HPE Alletra Storage MP B10240 Performance Optimized - Powerful and compact (optimized for $/IOPS, IOPS/GB). Ideal for compute-intensive workloads that require highly performant storage such as VDI or transactional databases.
