HPE Throws VM Users A Lifeline, Unifying Containers And VM Management In Cloud Stack
Jeff Burt Jeff Burt · 2026-05-13 · via The Next Platform: In-depth coverage of high end computing

It has been more than two years now since Broadcom spent $69 billion to buy virtualization giant VMware and in short order rattled the cages of enterprises and the wider tech industry by announcing significant price increases, new licensing plans, and a host of other changes. The company had a plan for what they wanted to do with VMware and has moved forward, with the result being anger, shock, and recriminations.

By some accounts, the result has been less the expected stampede of customers out the doors and more reassessment of their virtual machine (VM) strategies, what executives with one hybrid cloud management platform vendor, CloudBolt, called a “slow unwind” after the initial reaction.

CloudBolt’s survey earlier this year found that 86 percent are reducing their VMware footprint and 88 percent are concerned about future price hikes. Fifty-four percent said they’re staying with VMware reducing their dependence. About 72% of workloads being migrated are moving to the public cloud.

As one survey respondent said, it’s taking as long as two years to unwind a decade of process dependencies.

Coming To The Rescue

Over the past two-plus years, datacenter IT vendors have been looking for ways to attract these discontented companies as they configure their strategies. Firms like Red Hat and HPE are offering VMware customers soft landing spots.

HPE in 2024 unveiled HPE VM Essential, a package of virtualization capabilities that included a hypervisor and VM management, and last year combined VM Essential with its Morpheus cloud and IT management software, folding them both into its HPE Private Cloud Business Edition in a move that the company said would reduce the cost of VM licenses 10 times.

This week, HPE took another step with the fourth generation of its Private Cloud platform that moves it closer to being a single, unified operating model for running modern workloads – including AI-based jobs – stretching from core datacenters to the cloud and out to the edge with form factors from hyperconverged to disaggregated.

“What this means is that you're going to have a single pane of glass, you're going to have one place where all of these organization actors can interact and do their workloads,” Angel Pinella, vice president of private cloud product and engineering at HPE, told journalists. “You're going to those that are consuming VMs and they're consuming ... by self-service or by those containers, as well that they're going to be needing for their development operations. You’re going to have those that are setting policy, you're going to have those setting the security as well. There are a lot of hands in the pot and if you don't have one operating model ... it just doesn't work. It's going to take a long time and it's going be very fragmented.”

Unifying Container And VM Management

The Private Cloud platform, built atop HPE’s ProLiant Compute Gen12 servers announced last year, unifies the management of VMs and Kubernetes containers via a single interface in Morpheus, and supported VM technology not only includes VM Essentials but also VMware virtual machines, throwing a line to those in CloudBolt’s survey that are reducing their VMware footprint or staying with VMware but reducing their dependence, or catching some of the workloads migrating to the cloud.

The unified management of containers and VMs is due to be generally available in the third quarter. Having a single management model for VMs, containers, and AI offers an antidote to what Pinella said has been a disjointed collecting of various management tools across those environments that has led to unneeded complexity and costs. VMs, containers, and AI workloads need to be first-class citizens in IT environments, which requires a single management layer combined with a choice of runtime and platforms.

“HPE is different because we're offering choice in hypervisor,” he said. “There were the days where one hypervisor was totally fine. Those days are over. You have unique, different hypervisor footprints for different footprints physically in different places in the network, whether it's in a co-lo or whether it is at the edge, which is one of the most emerging topics that we talk to CIOs about today. For that distributed edge, that distributed enterprise, a lot of the data that's being consumed, manipulated, and inferenced on is being created at the edge. A lot the virtualization platforms out there just don't cut it and so we want to be as nimble as possible to be able to provide the right level of virtualization footprint for the right level of location and network and all of this needs to be delivered with built-in resiliency security data protection and that's where HPE differentiates.”

HPE isn’t the only one looking to Kubernetes as a way to reduce cost and complexity in cloud infrastructures and the growing prominence of AI and other advanced workloads. Broadcom executives early last month boasted of the latest version of VMware’s vSphere Kubernetes Service (VKS) Kubernetes runtime as a tool to address such problems.

Taking A Run At VMware Users

That said, HPE – like others – sees an opportunity to entice organizations to make the move away from VMware. In addition to the unified management of containers and MVs, HPE’s Zerto software, which offers data protection and disaster recovery capabilities across hybrid cloud environments, now offers organization live workload migration from VMware environments to HPE’s VMs with little disruption, another avenue for VMware users looking for an off-ramp.

HPE also developed a streamlined upgrade path to the Morpheus’ enterprise edition and said SimpliVity, its hyperconverged infrastructure platform, now supports Morpheus VM Essentials.

Beyond the Private Cloud enhancements, HPE also unveiled improvements to its Alletra storage line, with the Alletra Storage MP X10000 providing new native file storage along with the object storage already in the platform. The system can scale to 16 nodes with 23 Petabytes of capacity and deliver remote direct memory access (RDMA) file storage, an addition to the existing support for S3 object storage over RDMA.
