With the announcement, Morpheus is enabling more customers and technology partners to benefit from a unified approach to PlatformOps. Highlights include:
According to IDC, 74% of larger organizations say common cross-cloud management control planes are very important to help scale their operations.[ii] This trend towards hybrid cloud self-service and PlatformOps, coupled with recognized technical leadership, has led Morpheus Data to double customer count and add over 1,000 community users this year.
“The need for organizations to enable agile infrastructure is driving demand for a more adaptive approach to self-service,” said Brad Parks, Chief Marketing Officer at Morpheus Data. “Morpheus is a unified, agnostic and responsive platform, born to keep up with the rapidly changing demands of internal development teams.”
Lowering hybrid cloud barriers and expanding partner opportunities
To help midsize enterprises access the same leading platform used in hundreds of larger organizations, Morpheus has announced a new Essentials offering starting at just $16,000 and able to be up and running in minutes.
Morpheus Essentials quickly creates VMware and Nutanix private clouds plus manages centralized access into public clouds like AWS, Azure, and Google. Customers can integrate Morpheus Essentials with identity management providers like Active Directory or SAML and automate the execution of automation workflows from Ansible, Chef, Puppet, and more. If advanced third-party integrations are needed, customers can upgrade to Morpheus Enterprise which includes codeless integration into nearly 100 providers including ServiceNow, Infoblox, F5, Veeam, Splunk, and others.
This new Essentials package provides Morpheus partners with a more transactional approach to cloud automation and includes some of the highest compensation benefits in the industry. Nearly 100% of Morpheus deals go through indirect channel partners and global systems integrators which is why Morpheus has recently expanded distribution relationships with Ingram Micro.
Improving security posture and streamlining automation workflows in v5.2
Self-service provisioning and hybrid-cloud governance are two sides of a coin. The best way to avoid security breaches is to make sure internal development teams can move as fast as they need while still working within role-based access guardrails.
In version 5.2, Morpheus has added the ability to perform Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) scanning against Linux and Windows Workloads on systems under management. This means SecOps teams can not only control security posture at the source, they can reduce risk on an ongoing basis by detecting and mitigating critical security vulnerabilities.
Centralized platform teams are being challenged to build, manage, and operate hybrid cloud infrastructure for an increasingly wide range of users. Developers demand API-driven access for infrastructure-as-code while non-technical users need single-click shopping carts to avoid IT bottlenecks. With Morpheus v5.2, both user groups get what they need and more.
Morpheus has extended its ‘anything-as-a-service’ interface to include Operational Workflows in addition to the application blueprints introduced in v5.0. With Operational Workflows, a self-service catalog item could represent virtually any automation runbook. Organizations can combine heterogeneous scripting technologies, gather user inputs, and securely store and pass variables to eliminate the wait times historically associated with IT operations.
