Expedient's clients were looking to move numerous applications into a cloud operating model, which includes a mix of applications and assets they own on premises, in a hosting data center, or in a hyperscale cloud. However, figuring out the optimal placement of workloads from their current environment to the right mix of cloud operating model was a complex challenge. Many clients were only 30 percent of the way to that destination due to reasons such as not knowing how many of their applications would fit a hyperscale cloud model and not envisioning other ways to reach their objectives. Expedient needed a common control plane that could unlock and provide access to client compute resources while also giving Expedient tools to improve service delivery. The main problems that needed addressing were making it easier for clients to provision into multiple clouds without adding complexity, providing insight into costs to ensure clients were getting the best value for their dollar, and being able to provide governance and insight into security across clouds.

When Expedient was looking for the right hybrid cloud management platform partner, Morpheus came into the picture with a unified approach that stretched across different environments and took the complexity out of workload provisioning. It was exactly the foundation needed to support Expedient’s next-generation offerings. Morpheus offered the right mix of simplicity and extensibility, providing Expedient an opportunity to start small and then expose new services to clients over time. This in turn gave Expedient the ability to “turn the knobs” and choose the right mix for different clients – showing them just what they want to see but not what they don’t need. Expedient liked that Morpheus natively integrated with the technologies they were already using and allowed them to choose the experience they wanted to deliver without a lot of brittle scripting or custom code. This loosely coupled approach with out-of-the-box integrations supports sustainable, scalable growth that readily accommodates new services. Multi-tenancy was very important to enabling everything from basic VMaaS for single tenants to larger enterprise clients needing complex group and role structures set up to meet unique needs. Lastly, Morpheus reduced tool sprawl, aligning with Expedient’s core philosophy that getting closer to one way of doing something drives simplicity and eliminates cost.

Expedient’s clients range from having hundreds to tens of thousands virtual machines. The common denominator company age and technical debt, which makes it hard to move to a cloud operating model. Morpheus has helped Expedient make this a non-issue and provided rapid time to value.
The team at Expedient appreciates that Morpheus has taken an open, agnostic path centered around the client use case and user personas – from business and IT users to Expedient’s own operations staff. This is in contrast to limited tools from other vendors only designed to work best within that vendors portfolio.
Morpheus features are surfaced to clients as part of the Expedient CTRL suite which includes Automation CTRL for self-service and Cost CTRL for workload optimization. In addition, Expedient effectively uses the Morpheus platform internally to positively impact how they manage and monitor client workloads, reduce the cost of service delivery, and act as an automation hub to streamline day-to-day operations.
