At HPE Discover 2026, HPE announced a broad set of GreenLake enhancements to help enterprises modernize hybrid infrastructure, manage AI operations, and reduce virtualization complexity. The updates span agentic AIOps, private cloud platforms, virtualization alternatives, and software for AI infrastructure management.
The announcements reflect HPE’s continued push to position GreenLake as a unified operating model for hybrid cloud and AI environments, providing centralized operations, governance, and automation across infrastructure, applications, and AI workloads.
“As enterprises scale AI, they need a simpler way to govern AI infrastructure and modernize operations across hybrid environments without fragmentation or unpredictable costs,” said Fidelma Russo, executive vice president, Hybrid Cloud and CTO at HPE. “The latest advancements in GreenLake give enterprises a proven, unified path for agentic hybrid operations today and foundation for future autonomous operations.”
GreenLake Intelligence Adds Agentic AI Operations
At the center of the updates is GreenLake Intelligence, HPE’s agentic AI framework for hybrid cloud and AI operations.
The platform introduces centralized agent management through an agent registry, orchestration capabilities, and governance controls designed to coordinate AI agents across infrastructure, applications, and operational workflows.
HPE is also expanding HPE OpsRamp with a new Operations Copilot that provides visibility into AI agents and large language models. The platform enables organizations to monitor AI utilization, track token consumption, and understand operational costs across AI factories and hybrid infrastructure environments.
Using telemetry correlation and AI-driven root cause analysis, OpsRamp Operations Copilot can proactively identify operational issues and accelerate troubleshooting workflows.
HPE also announced a partnership with ServiceNow to integrate GreenLake Intelligence and OpsRamp observability capabilities into ServiceNow’s AI-driven service management platform. The integration is intended to create a common operational framework spanning infrastructure monitoring and autonomous service delivery.
Morpheus Gains AI-Driven Automation and Centralized Management
HPE continues to position Morpheus as a virtualization and private cloud platform for organizations seeking alternatives to traditional virtualization environments.
The latest release adds HPE Morpheus Orchestration Copilot, a GreenLake Intelligence capability that automates infrastructure and workload provisioning through AI-assisted workflows. The platform supports a bring-your-own-model approach while applying governance and security controls to orchestration processes.
HPE also introduced HPE Morpheus Central, providing centralized governance and management across multiple Morpheus deployments through a single interface.
Several previously announced capabilities are now generally available. Software-defined networking support brings multitenancy, zero-trust security controls, policy enforcement, and VXLAN overlay networking into Morpheus environments while reducing provisioning time by up to 60%.
The platform also now supports intent-based network automation through integration with HPE Juniper Apstra. The capability continuously validates network configurations, detects drift, and automates policy enforcement.
In addition, stretched cluster functionality is now generally available, enabling active-active deployments across two sites with synchronous replication and automated failover for higher availability.
HPE Zerto integration further supports virtualization modernization efforts by enabling live workload migration from VMware environments to HPE virtual machines while maintaining continuous data protection.
New Programs Target Virtualization Migrations
Following announcements at the HPE Partner Growth Summit 2026, HPE is introducing additional programs to accelerate virtualization migrations.
A new platform migration program lets new HPE Morpheus VM Essentials customers receive up to one free year of VM Essentials licenses and a year of HPE Zerto for $1 to support non-disruptive migration to HPE virtual machines, with 0% interest on software financing through HPE Financial Services. The program is intended to reduce migration costs and help organizations avoid double-paying for overlapping virtualization licenses during transitions.
For service providers, HPE introduced HPE CloudOps Software, a platform designed to support the delivery of private cloud services. The software includes multitenancy, self-service provisioning, software-defined networking, policy-based governance, and cost management capabilities.
The offering is paired with HPE’s Cloud Commit model, which provides pricing and service benefits tied to committed spending levels.
Private Cloud Portfolio Gains Air-Gapped Enhancements
HPE also announced updates across its Private Cloud portfolio focused on operational consistency from edge environments through core data centers.
HPE Private Cloud PC3000 now supports standardized air-gapped deployments for disconnected and regulated environments. The platform also adds validation for VMware vSphere 9, enabling customers to stay current with VMware infrastructure while using Morpheus to manage virtual machines and containers through a common control plane.
HPE Private Cloud PC7000 receives similar VMware vSphere 9 validation while incorporating the latest Morpheus capabilities, including Terraform support, infrastructure-as-code workflows, and automated private cloud operations.
For government and highly regulated deployments, the air-gapped version of PC7000 now supports Department of Defense Impact Level 4 (IL4) certification requirements. HPE said the enhancements address secure design, configuration hardening, vulnerability management, and compliance objectives commonly required in sovereign and regulated environments.
GreenLake Flex Expands Hybrid Infrastructure Management
HPE is also updating GreenLake Flex Solutions with additional operational and procurement capabilities.
A new integrated management interface combines infrastructure observability, sustainability metrics, and consumption analytics into a single operational view. The goal is to simplify hybrid infrastructure management while providing better visibility into resource utilization and costs.
HPE also announced that customers can now purchase selected third-party software offerings directly through the GreenLake Marketplace, extending the platform’s ecosystem capabilities.
Combined with GreenLake’s consumption-based pricing model, the updates are intended to give organizations greater flexibility in managing infrastructure investments while supporting modernization initiatives across hybrid cloud and AI environments.
Availability
HPE OpsRamp Operations Copilot within GreenLake Intelligence is available today, as are HPE CloudOps Software for cloud service providers and the GreenLake Marketplace, which supports direct customer-to-ISV transactions.
The latest HPE Morpheus Software updates are rolling out across the second and third quarters of 2026. Air-gapped deployments of HPE Private Cloud PC3000 and PC7000, along with additional Private Cloud capabilities, are expected in the third quarter of 2026.
GreenLake Intelligence and ServiceNow integrations will roll out across 2026 and 2027.
