OpsRamp, Virtualization

The only part you actually deploy

Second post in the HPE OpsRamp track. O-1 mapped the platform; this one is the part that lives in your datacentre and shows up on a firewall request. HPE OpsRamp Software (OpsRamp) is SaaS. The analytics, correlation, dashboards and service desk all run on the vendor’s platform, and none of that is your problem to […]

OpsRamp, Virtualization

The pillar most people underestimate

This opens the HPE OpsRamp track of the SilverX — HPE Morpheus Enterprise Series. Where Morpheus orchestrates and Zerto protects, this is the observe pillar of the HPE CloudOps Software suite.

Morpheus orchestrates and OpsRamp observes; this is the protect pillar of the HPE CloudOps Software suite. “What’s your RPO?” is a question most teams answer with a number they’ve never tested. Nightly backup means the honest answer is up to

Virtualization, VME

Ask a better question than “is it as good as ESXi?

Fourth post in the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials track. A1.2 – a.k.a HVM took an HVM host apart and A1.3 – a.k.a VME Manager covered the manager; this is the comparison you’re actually here for. The honest answer to that question is no, and it’s also useless. ESXi has had two decades and an enormous
