VMware vSphere Use Cases
Enterprise-Grade Applications
Organizations with extensive and complex applications, such as ERP systems, CRM software, or mission-critical databases, need to run on platforms that can guarantee minimal risk of performance fluctuations while also having a predictable billing system. By choosing vSphere, your applications benefit from an infrastructure setup that assures a consistent and predictable high performance for your critical applications.
Environments with High Customization Needs
Every organization has unique requirements for deploying cloud resources. Our vSphere product enables you to tailor the infrastructure to your specific needs. You can manage your resource pools per cluster, create network policies, set thresholds, configure monitoring, and build and integrate add-on solutions that align with your operational demands.
Specialized Workloads with Specific Requirements
If you run workloads that are memory or CPU intensive or applications with specific availability or data locality requirements, then vSphere is a perfect fit for you. With vSphere, you can control resource allocation per VM, set priority policies for your most critical workloads, and determine CPU overbooking ratio, if desired.
Security and Isolation
With our dedicated vSphere offering, you can design your private cloud environment and implement security measures specific to your organization's risk profile. This may involve creating isolated networks or applying granular access control policies according to your organization's security standards. The solution allows you to configure security settings that align with industry-specific compliance standards and regulatory requirements. Custom security policies and configurations can be implemented to ensure ongoing compliance.
Server Consolidation
Many businesses have multiple physical servers running separate workloads. Our vSphere allows you to consolidate these servers by virtualizing them onto a single physical server or a cluster of servers. This reduces hardware costs, simplifies management, and improves resource utilization.
VMware vSphere Key Features
Highly Redundant Infrastructure
Leaseweb’s vSphere Private Cloud architecture ensures a built-in N+1 resiliency model to ensure your servers’ availability in the event of a component failure. vSphere's High Availability (HA) feature provides automated monitoring and recovery for VMs in the event of host failures, ensuring minimal downtime. The vSphere environment is designed to tolerate the failure of at least one of the hypervisors. This redundant capacity is already accounted for and included as a part of the initially contracted resources. Service Level Agreements are included by default.
No Noisy Neighbours
The advantage of our single tenant vSphere deployment is the exclusive environment. With dedicated resources and infrastructure, you can enjoy a virtual environment free from disruptions and resource contention, ensuring consistent and reliable performance for your critical workloads.
Alerts, monitoring & insights
You can easily configure vCenter alerts and monitoring to keep a close watch on critical events like policy violations, resource utilization, and virtual machine errors, enabling you to gain a comprehensive understanding of the health of your cloud environment.
Powerful API
Reduce manual maintenance tasks and take advantage of the vCenter API or automate in Powershell using cmdlets provided via PowerCLI. Control your infrastructure with automated tools or integrate your private cloud with your own systems.
Add-ons
Catalogs
You also have the flexibility of using vCenter’s content library, giving you full control with your OS of choice or specific detailed tuning/patching. You can create and import your own templates and ISO images into the content library of vCenter. You can equally choose to clone or convert existing VMs to templates to be deployed.
Backup
We have Backup as a Service powered by Veeam Technologies.
This solution allows you to back up your entire infrastructure or only those virtual machines requiring extra protection and continuity. For the virtual machines you chose, you can define your own retention policies, execute restore operations, and carry out many management tasks. We take care of the platform and keep it updated and patched at software and hardware levels.
The backup platform is completely hosted by Leaseweb but your backups are managed by you. For specifics and details, please see this article.
Disaster Recovery*
Protect your applications and data from disruption and ensure your organization’s business continuity.
Our DRaaS is powered by Zerto, allowing you to benefit from RPOs and RTOs that exceed industry standards. Implementing DR with vSphere would require a similar vSphere deployment and setup in a secondary location where workloads would be replicated. Between certain datacenters, you also have the possibility to replicate and recover from your private vSphere deployment to our vCloud environment. Also, self-service capability is fully enabled, and you can configure, monitor, and control protection and failover policies whenever necessary.
