Description
Rapidly create applications without the hassle of overseeing virtual machines or learning unfamiliar tools—simply deploy your app in a cloud-based container. By utilizing Azure Container Instances (ACI), your attention can shift towards the creative aspects of application development instead of the underlying infrastructure management. Experience an unmatched level of simplicity and speed in deploying containers to the cloud, achievable with just one command. ACI allows for the quick provisioning of extra compute resources for high-demand workloads as needed. For instance, with the aid of the Virtual Kubelet, you can seamlessly scale your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) cluster to accommodate sudden traffic surges. Enjoy the robust security that virtual machines provide for your containerized applications while maintaining the lightweight efficiency of containers. ACI offers hypervisor-level isolation for each container group, ensuring that each container operates independently without kernel sharing, which enhances security and performance. This innovative approach to application deployment simplifies the process, allowing developers to focus on building exceptional software rather than getting bogged down by infrastructure concerns.
Description
Platform9 Private Cloud Director turns existing servers and storage into a fully featured private cloud. It provides a fast and efficient method for organizations to migrate away from VMware, with minimal disruption. Enterprise IT teams get a familiar virtualization management experience and a true drop-in replacement for VMware vSphere features, offering all critical enterprise features out of the box: Virtual Machine (VM) High Availability, live migration (vMotion equivalent), Dynamic Resource Rebalancing (VMware DRS equivalent), VM cloning, snapshots, templates, software-defined networking, and secure multi-tenancy.
Unlike other solutions that may require proprietary hyperconverged infrastructure or re-platforming to Kubernetes, Private Cloud Director works with existing environments—including servers from Dell, HPE, Lenovo, and storage systems from NetApp, Tintri, Pure Storage, and more. Private Cloud Director can be deployed as a fully self-managed solution, a SaaS-managed service, or in air-gapped environments, giving IT teams complete control over their operating model.
With Platform9’s free vJailbreak tool, enterprises can perform automated migrations of entire VMware vSphere clusters to Private Cloud Director—including complex VM configurations, multiple datastores, and advanced network policies—at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional approaches.
Private Cloud Director supports both VMs and container workloads on a single unified platform, enabling a gradual transition to cloud-native architecture without disrupting current operations.
Private Cloud Director can be deployed flexibly as a fully self-managed solution, a SaaS-managed service, or in air-gapped environments.
