The undisputed king of the virtualization market is VMware. According to third-party sources, there are millions of computing clusters running on their products. SineWave builds, maintains, and updates VMware environments for clients, ranging from single-host units to multi-host clusters with advance features such as HA and DRS. Some benefits of VMware:
- For small organizations, there is minimal direct cost for the platform, giving access to virtualization to the masses
- Allows multiple servers to run simultaneously on a single piece of hardware
- Includes features such as snapshots and exports to allow for easy migration and offline backups
- Supports a wide variety of guest operating systems
- Multiple host servers can be managed from a single interface through vCenter
- Supports network-attached storage for true redundancy and near-instant failover
- With the appropriate configuration, automatically balances resource utilization across a cluster to provide maximum performance
