Overview

More than a new hypervisor

HPE SimpliVity PC1000 is an enterprise-grade hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform, now enhanced with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software. It brings compute, storage, virtualization, data protection, lifecycle management, and HPE support together in one integrated operating model, so you can modernize virtualization while preserving operational continuity.

A complete solution from a single vendor, without the complexity or cost of traditional virtualization stacks.

HPE SimpliVity PC1000 hyperconverged node

All-in-one solution

Simplify deployment, scaling, management, and troubleshooting with software-defined infrastructure, unified management, policy-based automation, and artificial intelligence (AI).

Built-in data protection

High availability across just two nodes, with data services and security built in. Keep data safe and mitigate loss from edge to cloud with built-in data protection, resiliency, and disaster recovery (DR).

Hyper-efficient

The hyper efficiency built into HPE SimpliVity reduces input/output requests, frees up storage, and accelerates local and remote backup and restore functions.

Hypervisor choice

Two hypervisors. One control plane.

Move beyond single-hypervisor decisions at your own pace, without disrupting the VMware environment you run today.

Keep

VMware ESXi

Keep current VMware workloads running on HPE SimpliVity while you plan your next step.

Adopt

HPE Morpheus VM Essentials

Adopt the HPE VM Essentials hypervisor where it fits your strategy, with socket-based pricing.

One control plane Guided native migration Integrated protection
01

Run two hypervisors, side by side

Gain freedom from single-hypervisor decisions without disrupting current VMware environments, and modernize at your own pace.

02

Migrate in place, manage as one

A guided migration path and one control plane for both hypervisors help distributed teams manage clusters, federations, edge, and ROBO sites with less operational churn.

03

Resilience in the box

Availability is built into the architecture, and integrated backup and immutable retention work alongside the backup tools you already run.

HPE SimpliVity 7.0

What's new in this release

At the center of the release is HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software 9.0.2, integrated with the efficiency, availability, and protection of HPE SimpliVity.

NEW

HPE StoreOnce integration

Use HPE StoreOnce as an external backup destination on supported HPE SimpliVity PC1000 configurations, managed through the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials experience.

  • Extend existing protection policies or create new ones
  • Apply policies at the VM or datastore level
  • No separate backup management silo
NEW

Stretch Cluster support

Extend HPE SimpliVity across locations for VM Essentials, with CLI commands to create, assign, rename, and realize zones.

NEW

Integrated lifecycle upgrades

Validation, component selection, package uploads, and credentials, all from one guided workflow in the VM Essentials manager.

Enhanced dashboards

One view of cluster health, capacity, utilization, workloads, protection activity, and alarms.

Security built in

Data-at-rest encryption for supported Gen11 datastores, secure boot and vTPM for guest VMs, and platform security updates.

Proactive operations with Mindstone Sentinel

An HPE Storage supported, AI-driven operational intelligence solution that analyzes alerts, telemetry, logs, and configuration data to catch early warning signs. Customers who enable Call Home on HPE SimpliVity 7.0 get proactive monitoring, early risk detection, and faster issue resolution.

Infrastructure refresh

Built on HPE SimpliVity Gen12

SimpliVity 7.0 adds support for the Gen12 portfolio, so you can align an infrastructure refresh with your virtualization decisions while keeping one consistent operating experience.

Why PC1000

A simpler operating model, a lower TCO

Virtualization modernization is more than selecting a new hypervisor. Combining infrastructure, services, and financing moves the conversation from initial price to long-term TCO and operational efficiency.

A stitched-together stack

  • Separate backup architectures, tools, and workflows
  • Disaster recovery managed as its own project
  • Multiple vendors for platform, lifecycle, and support
  • Rising VMware licensing costs
  • CapEx-heavy refresh cycles and retired gear to dispose of

HPE SimpliVity PC1000

  • Native VM-level backup with always-on inline deduplication and compression
  • Built-in replication, DR, and Stretch Cluster support
  • Single-vendor ownership for delivery, lifecycle, and support
  • Socket-based HPE Morpheus VM Essentials pricing
  • HPE GreenLake pay-as-you-grow OpEx, plus HPE IT Asset Disposition Service to recover value from retiring systems

With consistent management across centralized data centers and edge locations, HPE SimpliVity supports use cases that require latency tolerance, data sovereignty, and regulatory compliance.

HPE SimpliVity PC1000 Solution BriefPDF download HPE Morpheus VM Essentials SoftwareThe hypervisor behind PC1000

HPE SimpliVity PC1000 is an enterprise-grade hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) platform. Paired with HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software, it combines compute, storage, backup, disaster recovery, and virtualization into a single, integrated appliance from one vendor.

HPE SimpliVity 7.0 relaunches HPE SimpliVity PC1000 as a unified, dual-hypervisor system built around HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software 9.0.2. It adds HPE StoreOnce as an external backup destination, Stretch Cluster support, an integrated upgrade experience in the VM Essentials manager, enhanced dashboards, data-at-rest encryption, secure boot and vTPM for guest VMs, Mindstone Sentinel proactive monitoring, and support for HPE SimpliVity 380 Gen12 and 325 Gen12 nodes.

HPE SimpliVity Gen12 nodes can be ordered now, and HPE targeted general availability of the SimpliVity 7.0 software for October 2026.

HPE SimpliVity lets you run VMware ESXi and the HPE VM Essentials hypervisor side by side, with one control plane for both and a guided migration path, so you can modernize at your own pace.

HPE SimpliVity builds availability into the architecture, with 2-node high availability using RAID and RAIN, integrated backup and data replication, immutable long-term retention, recovery snapshots, and HPE ProLiant Compute security. It also works with the backup tools customers already run.

Global deduplication and compression and built-in data protection reduce storage costs, HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software uses socket-based pricing to help reduce virtualization licensing costs, and the HPE GreenLake consumption model can shift spending from CapEx to OpEx.

Yes. HPE SimpliVity provides consistent management across centralized data centers and edge or remote office locations, with unified management of multiple federations, so sites with limited or no local IT can be provisioned and managed centrally.
