HPE Private Cloud PC3000 delivers flexible, scalable infrastructure with cloud-like automation — and full control of your infrastructure and costs. Run VMware and the HPE VM Essentials (HVM) hypervisor side by side, and migrate at your own pace.
HPE Private Cloud PC3000 is a self-managed private cloud virtualization platform built on modern hyperconverged infrastructure and HPE Morpheus Virtual Machine (VM) Essentials Software. It delivers a VMware alternative with enterprise-grade performance and control — unifying VM and container management under a single control plane.
Reduce virtualization complexity, optimize costs, and deploy quickly — without forced re-platforming.
Save up to 90% on VM licensing with predictable, socket-based pricing, and independently scale compute and storage with dHCI to avoid overprovisioning.
A factory-validated system automates orchestration and unifies VM and container management under a single control plane that spans VMware and HVM.
An engineered system with automated end-to-end updates replaces multi-tool complexity and gives you a future-ready path to VMs, containers, and clouds.
Choose the workload-optimized infrastructure that fits, then manage it all from one console.
