Virtualization, Zerto

Three components, one I/O path

Second post in the HPE Zerto Software track. Z-1 covered what CDP is and what’s supported on HVM; this one is the architecture — and the firewall request. HPE Zerto Software (Zerto) has fewer moving parts than most DR products, which is one of its quieter advantages. There are three things to understand, and everything

Four decisions, then it works

Seventh post in the HPE Morpheus Enterprise track. The appliance is built (E1.4) and the data model is designed (E1.5); now we connect something real. Adding a vCenter cloud to HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software (Morpheus Enterprise) takes about five minutes. Making four decisions correctly while you do it takes longer, and determines whether the integration

The question that exposes the model

Sixth post in the HPE Morpheus Enterprise track. E1.1 named the four constructs; this is how they actually interact when someone tries to provision something. “Why can’t this user see that cloud?” I’ve been asked that in every HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software (Morpheus Enterprise) deployment I’ve worked on, and the answer is never one thing.

The install is easy. The prerequisites are where it goes wrong

Fifth post in the HPE Morpheus Enterprise track. E1.2 covered the architecture; this is the install, and the handful of pre-flight checks that decide whether it comes up clean. The actual installation of HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software (Morpheus Enterprise) is close to trivial. The documentation’s quick-install section is two sentences: install the appliance package, run

The comparison everyone is actually making

Nobody evaluates a cloud management platform in a vacuum. They evaluate it against the one they already have, usually while a renewal quote sits open in another tab. Since the Broadcom acquisition reshaped VMware’s packaging, that conversation has become considerably less theoretical, and HPE Morpheus Enterprise Software (Morpheus Enterprise) shows up in it constantly.

CloudOps, OpsRamp, Virtualization

The gap that generates every day-one ticket

Third post in the HPE OpsRamp track. O-2 covered the collection layer; this is what it collects, and what happens to it. You deploy a gateway, run discovery, and several hundred resources appear in the inventory. None of them are being monitored. Nothing alerts. The platform looks broken. It isn’t. Discovery and monitoring are two
