Why HPE Morpheus VM Essentials and Veeam

HPE Morpheus VM Essentials is HPE's answer to the gap left by VMware's new licensing: a KVM hypervisor with Morpheus management, designed to reuse existing ProLiant hardware. Veeam supports it natively, including VirtIO driver injection during restore.

Native support with integrated component deployment from the Veeam console.

Automatic VirtIO driver injection on restore, key when bringing VMs over from other hypervisors.

check_circle

Application-aware processing for SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, Oracle and PostgreSQL.

What you can do with Veeam

Protection capabilities available on HPE Morpheus VM Essentials in Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1.

backup

Agentless incremental backup

Forever-incremental copies using changed block tracking. Only changed blocks travel, shrinking the backup window and network usage.

bolt

Instant Recovery

Boot the machine straight from the repository in minutes, without waiting for a full restore. Targets: vSphere, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV or Proxmox VE.

find_in_page

Granular restore

Recover a single file, a mailbox or a database table without bringing up the whole VM or restoring the entire backup.

apps

Application-aware processing

Consistent copies of SQL Server, Exchange, Active Directory, Oracle and PostgreSQL, with log truncation and point-in-time restore.

security

Malware scanning

Content analysis of the backup to spot dormant threats and locate the last clean point before restoring.

cloud_upload

Immutable offsite copy

Automatic shipping of restore points to our Madrid repository, with immutability and end-to-end encryption.

And the copy that saves you: offsite at EasyDataHost

Local backup handles accidental deletion. It does not handle fire, theft, or ransomware that reaches the backup console. That is why the copy of your HPE Morpheus VM Essentials environment leaves your infrastructure and lands in our Tier III+ Madrid data center.

lock

Real immutability

Once written, the copy cannot be modified or deleted until retention expires. Not even with compromised admin credentials.

key

End-to-end encryption

AES-256 in transit and at rest. You hold the keys: without them the data is unreadable, including to us.

How it works

1

Veeam protects your HPE Morpheus VM Essentials environment

Backup jobs run against your infrastructure and write to your local repository, on the window and retention you define.

2

A backup copy job does the rest

You add our repository as the secondary target. Veeam ships restore points automatically, incrementally and encrypted.

3

GFS retention and immutability

Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly per your policy. With immutability on, nobody can delete them early — you included.

4

You restore when you need to

Full VM, disk, file or application, straight from the offsite copy and without downloading the whole backup.

Frequently asked questions

I am coming from vSphere on HPE servers. Can I reuse the hardware? expand_more
Yes, that is precisely the VM Essentials use case: you keep the ProLiants and swap the virtualization layer. With Veeam you can restore vSphere backups straight onto the new hypervisor, and automatic VirtIO driver injection removes the manual work of preparing each VM.
What does VirtIO driver injection add? expand_more
A VM coming from VMware lacks the paravirtualised disk and network drivers KVM needs, so it would boot degraded or not at all. Veeam injects them during restore so the machine comes up operational with no manual intervention.
Can I restore onto your infrastructure if I lose my HPE Morpheus VM Essentials? expand_more
Yes. Beyond the offsite repository, we can bring your workloads up on our infrastructure while you rebuild yours. That is what our DRaaS service covers, and it runs on the same offsite copy you already have.
