HPE Private Cloud PC3000 QuickSpecs

An agile cloud operational experience and a simple cloud consumption model for private cloud infrastructure.

With this offering, customers can build their self-service cloud on demand and deliver virtual machines (VMs) across hybrid cloud, when they need it and where they need it in data centers, at the edge and beyond. PC3000 comes with HPE VM Essentials and has the ability to manage virtual infrastructure based on VMware and/or VME.

PC3000 with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software

PC3000 now supports HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software and is a cost-effective virtualization solution that is fully integrated into PC3000 with Alletra MP B10000 to support your virtualization environment. It includes a KVM-based hypervisor that supports multiple types of storage, distributed workload placement, high availability (HA), live migration, data protection via snapshots and backups. The unified management suite allows administrators to manage both one VMware cluster and one VM Essentials hypervisor from a single interface, simplifying the provisioning and management of VMs, clusters, and HA.

Additionally, VM Essentials offers enterprise-class global support and a future-proof upgrade path to HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software that includes hybrid-cloud management, Kubernetes support, governance, and FinOps capabilities. This solution provides operational efficiency and simplicity for virtualized environments, making it an ideal choice for organizations looking to optimize their IT infrastructure.

At A Glance

PC3000 changes the way customers procure and manage VMs with a cloud operational experience. PC3000 helps eliminate complexity with a unified cloud service for VM to infrastructure management, including public cloud VMs. The solution-delivered on-prem and through the Data Services Cloud Console-enables global unified management and monitoring of VMs and infrastructure deployed at any location as well as 1-click, multisite upgrades. This enables IT to reduce operating costs while helping optimize resource utilization, move to a generalist model, and shift from managing infrastructure to managing VMs and data, thereby refocusing resources and skills on higher-value strategic initiatives. The VM-based cloud offering brings the agility of cloud operations and the ease of cloud ownership to apps and data everywhere. Shift from traditional VM and infrastructure ownership to flexibly consume hybrid cloud VMs with predictable monthly costs.

This simplified private cloud solution empowers customers to transform from IT operator to service provider while focusing on accelerating outcomes and not infrastructure management. With this service, customers can:

- Experience faster self-service agility with cloud management to accelerate deployments

- Manage VMs across hybrid cloud seamlessly on demand

- Deploy, manage, upgrade, and optimize your entire VM fleet globally from any location or device

- Choose between HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, VMware, or a combination of both (requires separate hosts and virtualization clusters).

PC3000 lets customers and partners choose a platform that suits their application and infrastructure needs. It works with HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 and HPE SimpliVity hyperconverged solutions.

PC3000 is also available in two consumption models, Pay-upfront and Pay-as-you-go (IaaS). The management, features and functionalities remain consistent regardless of the selected consumption model.

What's New

- PC3000 support for ProLiant Compute Gen12

• New platform support:

o HPE ProLiant Compute DL360 Gen12

o HPE ProLiant Compute DL380 Gen12

o HPE ProLiant Compute DL325 Gen12 

- PC3000 includes HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software

• All Private Cloud Business Edition with Alletra MP will ship with HPE VM Essentials by default
• Choose between VM Essentials, VMware, or a combination of both (requires separate hosts and virtualization clusters) at the time of deployment. 

- PC3000 brownfield switch support no longer available

• HPE no longer supports brownfield switch configurations for the PC3000 platform. Customers must deploy PC3000 interconnect switches (Aruba 8325) as part of the solutions to ensure full compatibility, supportability, and access to the complete feature set.

Notes: iSCSI support only. FC and NVMeOF are not currently supported with PC3000

Key Features and Benefits 

The latest key feature adds HPE VM Essentials Software as a supported hypervisor management platform for Private Cloud Business Edition with Alletra Storage MP B10000 systems. You can now deploy one of the available hypervisor runtimes:

- VM Essentials manager: Use the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Manager Software Ul to manage servers, clusters, datastores, and virtual machines. For systems deployed with this configuration, you can use the Private Cloud Business Edition to monitor systems, but the following features are not supported within the Private Cloud Business Edition UI: Datastore management, VM management, cluster management, server management, and peer persistence with VME clusters

- vCenter Server: Systems deployed with this configuration require that you upload your own ESXi Image to a designated datastore for setup to complete deployment of VMware ESXi clusters.

For more information, see: PC3000 with Alletra Storage MP B10000: Deployment guide for new Installations.

The core feature set includes:

- Self-service setup: Accelerate agility and speed up deployments. It provides capability for VMware or VM Essentials at deployment

- Observability: Global dash boarding (VM and Cluster information, capacity details/trends, performance details/trends, alerts)

- LCM: Full-stack lifecycle management (automated catalogue-based updates of the various hardware, software, and firmware components vetted by HPE experts)

- Management: On-prem console to provision and manage clusters and VM's

- Choice of runtime: Provides customer choice of either leveraging VMware or VM Essentials virtualization

- Run any application without compromise: All the capabilities of Alletra MP (Data Savings, snapshots, Replication*, snapshot, 100% uptime guarantees, Timeless etc.) apply.

Infrastructure Automation & Orchestration: Setup automation & full-stack lifecycle management

- Future Proof IT: Leverage the same HW infrastructure to run multiple virtualization technologies

Notes: (Servers need to be dedicated to the respective hypervisor clusters).

- Experience simplified virtualization: Provision & manage multiple hypervisor clusters (on-prem VME console)

- Built-in Image Conversion: Built-in VM image conversion for easy movement of VMs across hypervisor clusters

- Network automation: Ability to set up supported network switches during the setup phase eliminating manual configurations and network-related complexities

- Lower TCO: Cost-efficient virtualization platform 4x to 25x cheaper.

Notes:

- Customer must download and supply their own VMware ESXi and vCenter binaries.

- Peer Persistence is supported with PC3000 with VMware only.

- There are no differences in features and functionality between the standalone VM Essentials version and bundled VM Essentials version with HPE Private Cloud PC3000.
