DxEnterprise is multi-platform Smart Availability software built on patented technology that achieves the highest levels of availability for SQL Server instances and availability groups, containers, and apps across both Windows and Linux environments. It can be used to manage a variety of workloads at the instance level – as well as Docker containers. DxEnterprise is particularly optimized for native or containerized Microsoft SQL Server deployments on any platform and is also adept at management of Oracle on Windows. With DxEnterprise, organizations get advanced fault detection to minimize outages and complete instance mobility from any host to any host, anywhere.
DxEnterprise expands its Smart Availability capabilities to SQL Server availability groups (AGs) with DxEnterprise for AGs. DxEnterprise for AGs is the only tool on the market that enables SQL Server AGs to be made highly available within and between Windows and Linux nodes across any type of infrastructure, including support for containers - all without relying on cumbersome cluster orchestration technologies like Pacemaker or WSFC.
DxEnterprise unlocks these key benefits:
✔️ Highest levels of availability
✔️ Immediate 25%-60% licensing savings
✔️ Peak utilization and consolidation
✔️ Near-zero planned and unplanned downtime
✔️ Management simplicity
DH2i is a software provider with over 10 years of experience, helping customers around the world enhance their IT management and SQL Server capabilities with DxEnterprise.
VMware vSphere is a powerful and complete server virtualization platform that allows its users to create and manage virtual data centers and machines. VMware vSphere is designed to help IT departments set up and run applications using the most cost-effective computer resources. By using vSphere, organizations save the time and energy necessary for purchasing infrastructure and software and reduce ongoing maintenance and operational burdens on IT teams.
Infrastructure administrators and network operators can access and manage the vSphere server by using a web-based cross-platform client application or via the vSphere client tool provided with vSphere.
VMware vSphere provides visibility into VMs and enables its users to carry out operations to manage VMs. This includes tasks such as:
- Powering VMs on and off
- Launching the VM console
- Shutting down guest operating systems
- Settings configurations
- Taking system snapshots
VMware vSphere Benefits
Some of the benefits of using VMware vSphere include:
-
Reduced costs: Since VMware applications are run on a server, it is not necessary to spend large amounts of your organization’s money on hardware, software, and infrastructure.
-
Increased productivity and customer satisfaction: VMware is able to operate multiple complex processes simultaneously. With all your applications being managed and run on the cloud, downtime, failures, and application errors are rare. VMware easily scales up and down to meet your computing needs. The high availability that VMware provides allows your IT staff to focus on other issues and keeps your customers satisfied with the service they receive.
-
Unlimited access to your VMs: VMware’s user-friendly cloud-based interface allows any employee to work from any location at any time.
-
Enhanced security: VMware’s security tools deliver full visibility into your entire system. This keeps your applications and data more secure, in any type of environment. VMware provides multiple protective tools including antiviruses and anti-malware, as well as backup and recovery services.
VMware vSphere Features
Below is a list of some of VMware vSphere’s key features:
-
Transferable virtual machine images: Export and import virtual machine images from your local environment. This gives users the ability to set up and configure their systems locally and only upload them to the server once everything is working properly. VM images can be moved back and forth between vendors, ensuring that your company is never tied up to a specific cloud vendor.
-
User-friendly interface: Using VMware’s intuitive console, you can easily create, manage, share, and deploy virtual machines.
-
API integration: VMware’s APIs support integration with third-party applications for data protection, multipathing, and disk array solutions.
-
Distributed power management: Automate efficiency by continuously optimizing server power consumption within each cluster.
Reviews from Real Users
VMware vSphere stands out among its competitors for a number of reasons. A few major ones are its virtualization abilities, its flexibility and availability, and its user-friendly interface.
Felix D., an Automation project administrator, DCS, I&E at Centennial Cayman Corp, writes, “The connectivity is fantastic, and many functions can run together in one server. If you need to scale, we can continue to add components or modules. It's a beautiful virtual solution that has many advantages over physical hardware, where you have to use devices and wiring to connect all your projects.”
