Container Management Software uses a kernel to run multiple contained instances on a single operating system, reducing virtualization overhead considerably though presenting the limitation that guests must use the same OS as the host.
Application Platforms provide the underlying cloud infrastructure, runtime environments, and development tools necessary for teams to build, deploy, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure themselves.
Server Virtualization (Hypervisors) represents the Foundational Execution Engine of the modern datacenter. In the architectural hierarchy of the software-defined datacenter (SDDC), the Hypervisor acts as the Data Plane— the layer where hardware abstraction and secure isolation actually occur.
Block storage is data stored in volumes acting as individual drives which can be configured and moved around a storage area network (SAN). It is the most common type of storage used for applications, RAID arrays, and virtual machines. Block storage systems lack metadata but are familiar and easy to …
As opposed to block storage, object storage (or object-oriented storage) intrinsically associate datas with rich metadata. While block storage is accessed through operating systems using unique location identifiers, object-oriented data is accessed via Hypertext Transfer Protocol (http), and can be …
Managed hosting service providers offer leases to server hardware that is configured, managed and maintained by the host on behalf of the client. These infrastructure services may be used to host websites, private clouds, or managed applications. For increased power and privacy, clients of managed h…
