Building on momentum from its recent v4.0 software release for Kubernetes, Morpheus Data released another major set of new features – this time focused on helping VMware customers simplify hybrid cloud automation and avoid the lock-in from hypervisor focused approaches.
VMware users who want to quickly realize the benefits of multi-cloud automation can now simplify automation while leveraging existing tools with Morpheus integration with vRealize Orchestrator workflows and VMware NSX enhancements.
It also takes advantage of VMware on AWS without limiting automation options via Morpheus support for VMC on AWS in addition to dozens of other clouds; and quickly modernize legacy apps and enable new innovation with secure access to hundreds of AWS services directly from the Morpheus catalog.
VMware has long been a key technology in the datacenter, but many still struggle to turn it into the elastic and on-demand private cloud that it could be; this challenge is contributing to growth in public clouds like AWS. A need to better manage both on-prem platforms and public clouds is evident in a recent 451 Research survey where 62 percent of enterprises identified hybrid cloud as their go-forward strategic IT approach.
Morpheus v4.1 eliminates the need to choose between these options by now adding VMware Cloud on AWS to the dozens of clouds already supported. All existing features supported for vCenter on-premises are instantly available for customers who want to add VMware on AWS. Clouds in Morpheus can be scoped and exposed to specific tenants, groups, and user roles to enable governance and hybrid application lifecycle management.
AWS currently holds approximately 33 percent of the public cloud market and is on an annual run rate of over $30 billion. Much of the growth beyond basic compute and storage as a service comes from access to hundreds of cloud-native application services including analytics, blockchain, database, machine learning, and IoT.
With Morpheus v4.1, Ops teams can use Morpheus for secure role-based access and policy enforcement while still giving developers access to cloud-native application services from AWS. Leveraging Morpheus integration with AWS CloudFormation, applications like Elasticsearch, DynamoDB, ElastiCache, and hundreds more can be added to the Morpheus service catalog and blueprinting engine or accessed via API and CLI.
