Infrastructure Virtualization & Containerization

If you’re looking to improve scalability, reduce overhead costs, and standardize software deployments across multiple machines and platforms, containers and virtual machines (VMs) are two of the top approaches. Both containers and virtual machines (VMs) are software technologies that create self-contained virtual packages. Beyond that commonality, they differ in their operations, characteristics and use cases.

Transforming data centers

The virtualization platforms transform data centers into aggregated computing infrastructures that include CPU, storage, and networking resources. Managing these infrastructures as a unified operating environment and provide you with the tools to administer the data centers that participate in that environment.

It supports you to run multiple operating systems on the hardware of a single physical server.

The Benefits of Containerization

Containerization enables you to deploy multiple applications using the same operating system on a single virtual machine or server. Workloads get deployed faster, performance and availability increase, and operations become automated, resulting in IT that’s simpler to manage and less costly to own and operate. Containers are an excellent choice for tasks with a much shorter lifecycle. With their fast set up time, they are suitable for tasks that may only take a few hours. Virtual machines have a longer lifecycle than containers and are best used for longer periods of time.
