Hewlett Packard Enterprise has wrapped up its acquisition of hybrid and multi-cloud management software provider Morpheus Data. Brian Gruttadauria, chief technology officer in charge of hybrid cloud at HPE, said in a blog post on Friday that the addition of Morpheus makes HPE GreenLake the first to offer a full suite of enterprise-grade hybrid cloud capabilities.
HPE announced in August that it had entered a definitive agreement to acquire Morpheus Data. At the time, Brian Wheeler, co-founder and CEO of Morpheus, said the deal was the natural next step to the companies’ long-term partnership to support customers.
“Together we will be able to help more customers transform their multi-cloud, multi-vendor IT estates to thrive and innovate in this increasingly complex and fragmented IT landscape,” Wheeler commented.
According to Gruttadauria, the acquisition further enhances HPE’s multi-vendor, multi-cloud management capabilities. Morpheus, he wrote, augments the artificial intelligence-powered IT operations management tools provided by OpsRamp, a software company HPE acquired in 2023.
Capabilities provided by Morpheus are already available on the HPE GreenLake cloud. HPE will continue to offer the Morpheus platform as standalone software and will integrate the Morpheus solutions into GreenLake cloud and HPE’s private cloud portfolio.
