Welcome to the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Forum!

[CalvinZito]

Welcome to the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Forum. I'm excited to get this up and going and as your moderator/host, happy to that you're here too! 

In December, HPE announced VM Essentials. Here are a few things to help you get going on it:

• Check out the home for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials on hpe.com: www.hpe.com/vmessentials. There lots resources on the page including videos and links to a webcast that goes deeper here. At the top of the page, there are a couple of tabs: "Overview" and "Getting Started". 
• I have an article on LinkedIn, Essentials for HPE Morpheus VM Essentials, that has lots of info you can find on HPE VM Essentials. 
• A key resource mentioned on my LinkedIn article is the User and Deployment Guide. For me, it's opens up to the Release Notes but note the left-hand navigation. Keep this handy!
• Wanna check it out for yourself? Get the 60-day free trial. There's a button for it on the top of the page but here's the link to the trial. 
• Go to the HPE Demo Portal and search for "HPE VM Essentials". There are recorded and interactive demos as well as a live demo you can register for.
• Here's a link to the HPE Morpheus VM Essentials support page on hpe.com. Some of the technical documentation (support matrix, reference architecture, etc) are here. 
• Here's a link to the dynamic HPE Morpheus VM Essentials Software documentation (updates automatically with latest info)

On 20 February, I've added links to the HPE VM Essentials Software Documentation (currently hosted on Morpheus Data website) and HPE documention on the VM Essentials support page. 

On 21 February, I added a link to an article I have on LinkedIn that has a lot more links to really good information like an 8 part video series on installing VM Essentials.

Hello,

Excited about HPE VME. Anybody have an idea about full Veeam integration or if any Replication Provider available?

[DiegoDelgado]

Glad to hear you’re excited!
I can’t discuss roadmap here, but we are working with leading data protection ISVs to get full integration and Veeam is one of them; they have even published a couple of blogs about it in their own blogs.
Please stand by for more information in the near future

You mention an 8-part video series on installing VM Essentials.  But I can't find the link to those vedios.

Go to the HPE VM Essentials page on hpe.com and click on the "Getting started" tab. I referred to this in my post. Here's a link to take you directly there. Scroll down to the Step-by-step activation guide. There are 9 videos there now.
