Support of HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software virtualization platform

Hi,

Following the recent VMware pricing changes, we are seeing a significant increase in customer requests for alternative virtualization platforms. We are currently experiencing strong demand for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software and others.

Would it be possible for R&D to:

  • Assess HPE Morpheus as a supported virtualization platform for AVEVA products ?

  • Provide an official statement or roadmap regarding potential support of alternative virtualization platforms (scope, versions, and any limitations)?

This would help us respond consistently to customer requests and secure projects. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Best regards,
Pius

    AVEVA cannot provide a generic roadmap or blanket support statement for “alternative virtualisation platforms”.

    Support for System Platform is explicitly tied to a defined and validated set of hypervisors, as published in the Technology Matrix. Each supported platform requires extensive qualification across the hypervisor, host OS, Windows patch levels, SQL Server versions, failover behaviour, performance characteristics, and recovery scenarios. This validation is essential in an industrial SCADA context where system instability or undefined behaviour carries real operational and safety risk.

    Providing open-ended or “best-effort” support for unspecified or unvalidated virtualisation platforms would create unacceptable ambiguity around fault isolation and responsibility. If a failure occurs on an unvalidated platform, it may not be possible to determine whether the root cause lies in the product or in the virtualisation layer itself. In such cases, AVEVA cannot assume responsibility for system behaviour.

    For this reason, issues encountered on non-validated platforms must be reproducible on a supported hypervisor before they can be treated as confirmed product defects.

    Requests to add support for additional virtualisation platforms are considered on a case-by-case basis and prioritised based on demonstrated customer demand, using the Ideas Portal and formal validation planning. Until a platform is explicitly listed in the Technology Matrix, it should be considered unsupported and deployed at the customer’s own risk.
