BARCELONA — Sat, 06 Dec 2025
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has announced major expansions to its GreenLake cloud portfolio, introducing advanced AI-driven innovations designed to help enterprises modernize their IT environments amid rising costs, virtualization changes, and accelerated hybrid cloud adoption. The announcements were made at HPE Discover Barcelona 2025.
With over 80 percent of enterprises rethinking their workload deployment strategies, HPE said GreenLake is enabling organizations to reduce operational complexity while building secure, agile, and high-performance IT infrastructures. Fidelma Russo, Executive Vice President of Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE, said enterprises are taking different modernization paths depending on priorities such as speed to market, security, compliance, and cost efficiency. She added that HPE’s cloud portfolio is engineered to address these challenges while enabling customers to move quickly and stay competitive.
HPE is accelerating innovation in virtualization through HPE Morpheus Software, offering customers an enterprise-grade alternative with significantly reduced licensing costs. The Morpheus VM Essentials platform supports multi-hypervisor environments and self-service cloud consumption while cutting virtual machine licensing costs by up to 90 percent.
New features include zero-trust security powered by software-defined networking built on HPE Juniper Networking, enabling built-in micro-segmentation, improved networking performance, and multi-layered security for virtual machines. Automated network provisioning is being delivered through the integration of HPE Juniper Apstra Data Center Director, ensuring consistent VLAN and security enforcement across physical and virtual infrastructure.
To strengthen resilience, HPE Morpheus will introduce stretched cluster technology with synchronous replication, allowing critical applications to remain operational across metro regions even during data center outages. This will work alongside HPE Alletra Peer Persistence to enable automatic failover between geographically distributed sites.
HPE is also advancing application modernization with full Kubernetes and container support on HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software, allowing organizations to run cloud-native workloads alongside traditional virtual machines under a unified management framework. Continuous data protection is being enabled through the integration of HPE Zerto Software, while Veeam Data Platform v13 support delivers hypervisor-based image-level backups and rapid recovery.
HPE further strengthened its full-stack AIOps strategy with enhancements to HPE OpsRamp Software, providing deeper automation and observability across networking and compute environments. HPE Morpheus, OpsRamp, and Zerto are now available as standalone products or as part of the HPE CloudOps Software suite.
In collaboration with NVIDIA, HPE introduced new innovations to govern and protect AI data. HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 Data Intelligence Nodes now use the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design to create real-time active data layers for AI pipelines. HPE Private Cloud AI has also been upgraded with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs, secure air-gapped deployment capabilities, and simplified AI operations tooling.
To enhance data protection, HPE announced next-generation StoreOnce backup appliances. The new StoreOnce 5720 and 7700 models deliver significantly faster recovery and high-performance backup, with the 7700 achieving ingest speeds of up to 300 TB per hour. HPE is also expanding confidential computing with AMD, Intel, and NVIDIA to ensure end-to-end encryption for sensitive workloads.
GreenLake platform updates now include CloudPhysics Plus, Cloud Commit, and an enhanced GreenLake Marketplace to improve hybrid cloud transparency, cost optimization, and partner visibility. To support adoption, HPE Financial Services is extending zero-cost financing programs for HPE CloudOps Software and Alletra Storage solutions.
