Three Performance Comparisons Disclose Why You Should Choose SmartX HCI as a VMware Alternative
Users of VMware vSAN may experience issues such as high latency, cache breakdown, and performance degradation. While many factors can contribute to these problems, the design of storage architecture (e.g., I/O path and c
VMware vs SmartX: I/O Path Comparison and Performance Impact
This article compares the I/O paths of VMware vSAN and SmartX HCI by analyzing read and write I/O under various scenarios and their locality probabilities to explain the effects of the I/O path on storage and cluster per
Multi-Tenancy in Kubernetes: Implementation and Optimization
In this article, we will discuss issues around multi-tenancy in Kubernetes. In particular, we will thoroughly examine the two implementations of multi-tenancy – cluster sharing and multi-cluster – and provide suggestions
VMware vs SmartX: Distributed Storage Caching Mechanism and Performance Comparison
In this article, we will compare the caching mechanisms of vSAN (using vSAN 7 as an example) and SmartX distributed block storage component ZBS*. Following that, a comparison of VM performance based on these two caching
