Briefing Note: DH2i Achieves Microsoft Platform Ready Status
In a recent webinar Storage Switzerland and DH2i discussed leveraging container technology to create an MS-SQL framework that improves high availability and disaster tolerance with policy based SLA Management.
While Docker grabs a lot of the headlines, it is primarily used in Linux environments, leaving Microsoft Windows environments and developers out in the cold. DH2i’s DxEnterprise, with its platform ready status, brings Windows developers in from the cold and, in fact, provides more than just the OS virtualization that Docker provides, delivering true application virtualization.
As we discuss in this 1-minute excerpt from the webinar, containers are different than virtual machines, but are not competitors. When used in combination the two technologies can create a more efficient and resilient Windows environment.
The complete webinar is now available on-demand and, viewers can access our white paper “Windows Containers vs. Virtual Machines” for a detailed explanation of the differences between the two technologies and how they can work together.
