Zerto + HPE Morpheus VME: A Golden Opportunity to Move Beyond VMware?

Zerto now supports "HPE Morpheus VM Essentials" for data center replication and disaster recovery. This brings enterprise-grade continuous data protection (CDP) to KVM-based workloads.

Why this is critical for your VMware migration strategy

✅ No snapshots, journal-based replication (no snapshot chains) ✅ RPO in seconds, RTO in minutes ✅ Live failover, non-disruptive DR testing, and failback ✅ Ransomware detection via granular recovery points

Until now, DR maturity has been a major barrier to migrating Tier 1 workloads away from VMware. Zerto removes this constraint, enabling customers to modernize without sacrificing resilience or recovery objectives.

Powerful integration between HPE Morpheus and VME

With Zerto integrated directly into HPE Morpheus and VME, DR becomes part of the same operational workflow as provisioning and lifecycle management. This establishes VME not just as a cost-saving benefit, but as a viable, enterprise-ready VMware alternative.

Currently supported features

✔️ Replication between VME instances ✔️ Application-consistent recovery (VPG) ✔️ Non-disruptive failover testing

🚫 Cross-platform replication (VMware ↔ VME) is now supported in version 10.9. This is a massive step forward for customers deploying new workloads or greenfield platforms on VME.
