Run VMs seamlessly on
Kubernetes
Seamlessly Manage Virtual Machines and Containers on Kubernetes with Cocktail Cloud Virtualization.
Virtual Machines are not going anywhere.
While containers are gaining popularity, Virtual Machines (VMs) continue to be a vital part of enterprise IT. They’re widely used for security, isolation, and managing legacy applications, especially in industries like finance, healthcare, and telecommunications. VMs offer full operating system control, making them ideal for workloads that need strict resource allocation and stability. Even as companies adopt newer technologies like Kubernetes and containers, VMs remain crucial for handling mission-critical and complex environments.
Why VMs are here to stay?
Stornger Security
VMs offer better isolation, making them great for industries with strict security needs like finance and healthcare.
Support for Older Systems
Many businesses still rely on legacy software that works best on VMs.
Run Multiple OS
VMs allow you to run different operating systems on the same machine, giving you more flexibility.
Hybrid Cloud Compatibility
VMs are essential in setups where businesses use both on-premises and cloud environments.
Reliability for Critical Apps
VMs are trusted for running mission-coritical applications that can’t afford to fail.
Better Resource Control
VMs provide more control over CPU, memory, and storage, which is key for resource-heavy tasks.
