Say goodbye to cloud lock with easy cloud and hypervisor migrations: Morpheus

Morpheus is a leading cloud application management and orchestration platform designed from the ground up for truly agnostic cloud management. Morpheus gives developers, IT managers, and DevOps professionals’ full control over both VM and container-based systems across any cloud or infrastructure. Finally, a single platform provides complete application lifecycle management, including one-click provisioning, built-in backup, logging, monitoring, reporting, and access control. Morpheus offers more built-in integrations and faster time-to-value than any other cloud orchestration or management platform on the market.

The Outset of Morpheus Data

As the first and only truly infrastructure-agnostic cloud application management platform on the market, Morpheus was built to solve problems nobody was adequately solving. Morpheus was founded inside of Bertram Capital, a San Mateo-based private equity firm with more than $1 Billion in committed capital that targets control investments in lower, to middle-market companies. Bertram Capital developed a world-class team to rapidly implement IT solutions to fuel the growth of their portfolio companies. This group of more than 25 software developers and internet marketing experts became the core of Bertram Labs. The solutions that were developed found applicability across the portfolio. Demand for these initial solutions and others increased and Bertram Labs began building tools to increase the team’s productivity.

The Roadway to Morpheus Data

As the team became more prolific in their development activities it became clear that simple and powerful cloud application management was impossible with current offerings. While DevOps was growing in popularity at smaller companies, large enterprises didn’t have the capabilities to utilize agile DevOps tools and strategies. So, Bertram Labs created the solution – initially for their own needs but more presently for the broader market. While Morpheus started by focusing on building a comprehensive tool to solve problems exclusively for Bertram Capital portfolio companies, the platform was so useful it quickly gathered steam independently until it grew to become what it is today, a stand-alone company serving a quickly growing client base.

Morpheus is the most comprehensive DevOps platform in the market today.

Elastic Scaling & Failover: Easily manage databases and apps by adding more nodes on the web UI, CLI, or through an API call. Morpheus automatically configures the database or app cluster to accommodate these new nodes.

Logging & Monitoring: Morpheus automatically collects system, database, and application logs for all provisioned IT systems. These logs are used for faster introspection and troubleshooting. Additionally, each new provisioned system is set up automatically for uptime monitoring.

Backup & Recovery: These days’ built-in backups are a must and with Morpheus they’re set up with each and every new database or app stack component. As an administrator, you can easily customize occurrence, frequency, destination of backups eliminating the need for writing custom cron jobs.

On–Premise & Cloud Migrations: Morpheus helps you avoid the complexity of cloud migration and the headache of cloud lock. Literally within minutes, you can move complete application stacks between clouds, into any cloud or back to on-premise infrastructures.

Self Service Portal: Rapidly provision databases and applications across on-premise servers, public, private, and hybrid clouds. Users can spin up new database instances or any component of the application stack with a single click. Role based access offers different views and permissions to different users.
