HPE Private Cloud PC3000 is designed to help you rethink how you pay for and scale virtual infrastructure.

Traditional HCI typically forces you to scale by adding full nodes that bundle both compute and storage. That often leads to overprovisioned resources sitting idle on each node, which increases spend on hardware, rack space, and software licenses.

With HPE Private Cloud PC3000 you can:

• Scale compute and storage independently, so you add only what you actually need.
• Use an all-in-one platform with built-in high availability and data protection, reducing the need for separate point tools.
• Leverage pay-per-use economics via HPE GreenLake, helping you avoid large upfront overprovisioning.
• Avoid the “VM hypervisor and software license tax” when you only need storage without additional compute.

On the hypervisor side, HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software includes an HPE KVM-based hypervisor and also supports your existing VMware licenses. Many organizations use the KVM stack to explore alternatives to VMware, starting with non-mission-critical workloads such as test/dev and end-user computing, which can further optimize licensing costs while maintaining a unified management experience.

HPE Private Cloud PC3000 is built to simplify how you run VMs and infrastructure across on-premises and public cloud.

Key management and hybrid cloud capabilities include:

• Single console for VMs and infrastructure across your fleet—edge locations, core data centers, and public cloud (Amazon AWS and Microsoft Azure).
• One-stop cluster management with a unified experience across existing hypervisor clusters and HPE VM hosts, giving you flexibility to use both VMware and HPE VM Essentials.
• Agile self-service from a single global dashboard, enabling teams to provision and protect VMs quickly.
• Automated provisioning of VMs and applications from within the GreenLake cloud, using blueprints to accelerate deployments.

The control and management plane is abstracted from the underlying infrastructure and delivered as a cloud-managed service via HPE GreenLake. This means you can:

• Globally deploy, manage, upgrade, and optimize your VM fleet from one place.
• Let the cloud-native control plane scale autonomously with your infrastructure—managing hundreds of systems across geographies is designed to be as simple as managing one.

For existing HPE Alletra dHCI and HPE SimpliVity customers, the same management console adds value whether you own assets outright or consume them via pay-per-use GreenLake subscriptions, giving you a consistent experience as your environment evolves.

HPE Private Cloud PC3000 is designed to strengthen resilience, performance, and support for your virtualized workloads.

Resilient architecture and availability

• Built on HPE Alletra Storage MP with a disaggregated architecture and all-active scalable controllers.
• Enables independent scaling of compute and storage while delivering 100% data availability for mission-critical applications.
• Supports data availability levels from 99.999% to 100%, and HPE delivers data availability for every customer—no special tiers required.
• Lifecycle upgrades are intelligent, nondisruptive, and fully automated across one or multiple clusters, covering both HPE VM Essentials and VMware hypervisors.

Performance for critical apps

• Addresses performance limits of traditional infrastructure, especially for database workloads needing low write latency and large VM farms.
• The disaggregated design helps you meet performance and capacity requirements while maintaining better economics at scale.

AI-driven operations and support

• Includes HPE InfoSight for AIOps and cross-stack analytics for VMware.
• Provides guided troubleshooting across the full stack—clusters, hosts, datastores, and VMs.
• 86% of issues are automatically opened and resolved, helping reduce business disruption and keep applications “always on, always fast.”
• Delivers predictive support automation and direct access to experts, avoiding slow, tiered escalation models.

Hybrid cloud protection and mobility

• Offers VM-centric data protection, rapid restore, and VM mobility for disaster recovery.
• Supports hybrid cloud data protection and seamless data mobility to help manage risk and business continuity.

Together, these capabilities help you reimagine how you protect, run, and support critical workloads across your hybrid cloud environment.
