As technology evolves, so does the pressure on finance leaders to control IT costs without slowing innovation. One of the most overlooked opportunities for savings is virtualization, and that’s where HPE VM Essentials Software comes in.
HPE VM Essentials is a new solution that allows businesses to simplify VMware® environments while adding support for lower-cost, open-source KVM-based virtualization. The result? A powerful, enterprise-grade alternative that offers significant savings — without compromising performance.
Why this matters for your bottom line:
- Vendor Flexibility: Avoid being locked into high-cost licensing agreements. With HPE VM Essentials, you can manage both VMware and KVM environments from one platform.
- Lower Licensing Costs– HPE Private Cloud Business Edition reduces up to 90 percent of VM license costs with multi-hypervisor support and self-service cloud consumption
- License Efficiency: Pay-per-CPU socket pricing makes predicting and controlling virtualization costs easier.
- CapEx to OpEx Shift: HPE VM Essentials can be deployed through HPE GreenLake, turning traditional IT spend into a flexible, consumption-based model.
As 99% of VMware customers express concern about the Broadcom acquisition, now is the time to consider alternatives. VM Essentials helps you hedge against future pricing shifts — while maintaining business continuity.
For CFO’s looking to trim costs while staying ahead of the curve, this is more than a tech upgrade. It’s a smart financial strategy.
