Cloud Field Day 3 | Morpheus Data

Jeff Wilson came to Cloud Field Day last month, his first Field Day event since 2015. In this piece, he shares his thoughts on Morpheus Data. Overall he came away impressed, especially with their focus on operations. They offer what Jeff calls “well-articulated & rational glue” to take the pain out or managing a stack of heterogenous infrastructure whether it’s on-premises, in one cloud, or several clouds.


Morpheus Data brings the glue to multi-cloud management

Tim Crawford got to hear from Morpheus Data at Cloud Field Day earlier this month. He thinks they offer an interesting abstraction layer for cloud services that enables unified management and visibility without losing features. This is a great start, but Tim is interested if going forward the company will target a wide range of supported services, or instead focus on a subset with rich features.
