As seen in previous articles, hypervision is essential to the smooth running of a large-scale Information System. Today, organizations have a choice of hypervisor solutions, both open source and proprietary.
Flexibility, accessibility, transparency… In this article, you’ll discover why Open Source hypervisor is the preferred alternative for your information system.
Flexibility and ease of use
Unlike proprietary software, an “open” hypervisor platform is highly interoperable. More precisely, it sits on top of your supervision, ITSM, CMDB, repository and other tools, interconnecting with dedicated APIs and connectors.
So it’s the Open Source hypervisor solution that adapts to your IT ecosystem, and not the other way round. Thanks to its ease of interfacing with existing systems, you’ll also save time (and money) on implementation!
Code transparency and independence
The major advantage of “open” code is undoubtedly its transparency. This makes it possible to customize your Open Source hypervisor platform to your needs and technical specifications.
It’s also a guarantee of safety, and therefore of quality. The ability to analyze code enables the Open Source community to detect potential vulnerabilities and remedy them more quickly.
Another important point is supplier independence. You’re not dependent on a proprietary solution, and you retain control of your data and tools.
Cost optimization and Open Source hypervisor
As seen in the first point, integrating an Open Source hypervisor platform into an IS will be easier and more cost-effective than using proprietary software.
For the same functionality, the Open Source alternative is generally less expensive to purchase than a private license. With the community playing its part in development, it’s only fair to offer attractive rates!
In fact, the classic business model for an “open” tool is based on the services it provides, rather than the license itself: installation, support for upgrades, support and maintenance…
All these advantages make of the Open Source hypervisor an attractive solution for businesses and the public sector. As well as being feature-rich, it’s easy to implement, flexible, secure and cost-effective for organizations’ day-to-day IT needs!
