Hitachi Storage Virtualization Operating System (SVOS) vs. Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

Hitachi SVOS is well suited for all environment in todays world. Storage plays a pivot role in all services provided in the current digital age. The Hitachi SVOS along with their blade proides magnificient perfromance boost which is not comparable to any vendors. Companies which has a huge database should consider this an option to evaluate. In addition orgnization who has a highly virtualized enviroment could also look at this product during their evaluation stage. This product is less benfit due to its cost in an environment where they have more number of physical servers as there are other solution which can be leveraged at a lower costs as they would not be utilizing the full feature set provided by the appliance

I believe that Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization is a very promising option for hypervisor at the moment and it seems to be improving quickly. Red Hat is doing a great job working with customers on feature set requests and improving UX and stability

• It's a one pane of glass, so when we have Rev only it was a hypervisor for VMs. OpenShift, you can put Ansible in it, you can hook into satellite, it can do with OpenShift AI. You can do AI models and stuff like that. So I think it's more like a Swiss Army knife rather than a fire extinguisher.

• Because of how different virtualization is done, there is a learning curve to overcome when switching to it from another hypervisor.
• Documentation needs to be improved. Just finding the details to set it up is a burden that will keep some people using it.

OpenShift is really easy of use through its management console. OpenShift gives a very large flexibility through many inbuilt functionalities, all gathered in the same place (it's a very convenient tool to learn DevOps technics hands on) OpenShift is an ideal integrated development / deployment platform for containers

It combines with enterprise level storages very well. Due to its high reliability & uptime, it is valued greatly by such institutes. Secondly, it's advanced virtualization reduces the complexity & cost, which in turn results in maximizing hardware utilization. Performance efficiency is amazing even under heavy workloads. Built-in cache optimization and automated tiering help ensure efficient data placement.

The product is maturing at an amazing rate, but there is still work to do to reach existing VMware customers. Most notably are the HA/DR features, and backup/recovery. We need to have faster backup capabilities, and I know this is in the works with change block tracking - but it is a challenge today. Some users are also scared by the number of volumes created by Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization, as opposed to the number of VMFS volumes they are used to.

I've not noticed any significant performance impacts with Red Hat OpenShift. I think the development team has put a lot of effort into ensuring that it is performant. And so performance typically is not a major concern for us with Red Hat OpenShift.

There is definitely no comparison to any of the products when comparing to Hitachi SVOS. I beleieve this is the only unique product which can leverage older storage systems. Dell Avamar can be a great product if you are considering DR replication alone. The DR replication ratio is quite high in Dell avamar. However given that the current bandwidth available outweights this benefit

Red Hat OpenShift is a more complete and integrated platform, with lots of out of the box components that the other platforms don't have, and customers need to stack lots of other software in order to have monitoring, cost management, log management, user policies governance, and more. Another great benefit Red Hat OpenShift delivers ir the supported operators.

• Cost had bit of negative impact
• Due to stable OS and live migrations support it has allowed us to dynamically tune the capacity of our test clusters leading to better COGS for our business

• The TCO of OpenShift is lower than with VMware
• Implementing VMware has allowed us to drop third party solutions that were effectively required to have a proper vmware deployment
• Licensing over has become less complicated as we also no longer need separate RHEL licesnes
