Rethinking virtualization: open source alternatives for resellers
- Technology resellers are exploring virtualization alternatives amidst market uncertainty, seeking scalable, cost-efficient solutions with similar capabilities as existing options.
- The three main responses for organizations impacted by virtualization market shifts are: do nothing, explore alternatives for non-critical workloads, or fully migrate to a new solution.
- Organizations sticking with their current solution benefit from avoiding full-scale migration but may face potential cost increases and limited flexibility.
- Multi-hypervisor users keep options open for cost-saving alternatives while facing challenges like integration issues and potential service provider changes.
- Full-on replacement users migrate entirely to new providers to avoid steep costs and lock-in, seeking simplified migration processes and reduced expenses.
- Open source alternatives like OpenStack by Canonical offer powerful, cost-effective solutions for large private clouds, enabling reliable services with reduced TCO.
- For smaller private clouds, MicroCloud provides scalable, lightweight options perfect for running VMs or system containers on limited setups, with automated updates and upgrades.
- Canonical's infrastructure solutions come with compliance, security maintenance, and significant cost savings, making them attractive in the evolving virtualization landscape.
- Organizations have access to scalable open source options like OpenStack and MicroCloud, addressing uncertainties in the virtualization market effectively.
- Canonical's solutions offer easy deployment, flexibility, and long-term support without hidden fees, providing resellers and organizations with viable alternatives.
- For resellers looking to navigate the evolving virtualization space, becoming a Canonical partner can offer access to a wide range of cloudification and virtualization offerings.
