Review of Small-Scale Virtual Environments Underway with VMware Renewal/Migration The environment surrounding virtualization infrastructure has changed significantly since Broadcom's acquisition of VMware was completed. Many challenges have emerged in continuing traditional operations due to the transition to new licensing schemes, consolidation of product lineups, and the end of OEM license offerings.

In particular, companies are increasingly considering migration to virtualization infrastructure independent of VMware, prompted by rising license costs and the need for review during renewals.

Challenges of On-Premises Virtual Environments That Cannot Be Stopped, Even on a Small Scale When considering VMware renewal and migration, not all systems can be moved to the cloud or large-scale virtual infrastructure. Many systems, such as control systems in manufacturing sites and systems within branches, must remain in on-premises environments and be operated.

In such environments, the number of operating virtual machines can be small, around 1 to 5. However, the importance of these systems does not change just because of their small scale; as they support production and business operations, preparations for downtime risk are necessary.

On the other hand, ensuring availability requires redundant configurations, failover in case of failure, backup, and recovery procedures, which can lead to heavy system investment and operational burdens even in small-scale environments.

Therefore, there is a demand for infrastructure that can simply protect critical systems even in small-scale on-premises virtual environments.

Explanation of the Benefits of FT Servers, Which Reduce Business Interruption Risk and Operational Load with a 2-Node Configuration This seminar introduces Penguin Solutions, Ltd.'s "Stratus ztC Edge," a zero-downtime server suitable for small-scale virtual environments with 1 to 5 virtual machines.

"Stratus ztC Edge" achieves redundancy with a 2-node configuration and is a virtualization infrastructure suitable for small-scale branches and departmental servers. It does not require shared storage, offers high availability and performance, can be managed simply via a web browser, and contributes to cost optimization.

We will also introduce other zero-downtime virtualization infrastructures that can be selected according to use case and scale. Through specific configuration examples, comparisons with other virtualization infrastructures, and introductions to various tools that support smooth migration, we will provide a detailed explanation of the latest virtual infrastructure technologies and points for operational optimization.

Recommended For - Those considering their next virtualization infrastructure due to VMware license renewal/migration. - Those operating systems that need to remain on-premises, such as in manufacturing sites or within branches. - Those who want to reduce the risk of downtime for critical systems in small-scale environments with about 1 to 5 virtual machines. - Those who want to ensure availability but avoid excessive configurations and operational burdens. - Those looking for infrastructure that can be operated simply, even in environments without dedicated virtualization infrastructure administrators.
