VMware vCloud Suite vs. Alternatives in 2024
The main competitors for VMware vCloud Suite are XenServer and Parallels Virtuozzo Containers.XenServer is an open source virtualization solution for server management, with support for both public & private clouds. It can support both Windows & Linux operating systems as well as virtualization of desktops and cloud based environments. Cloud based virtual machines can be successfully isolated using multi-tenant models, with firewalls and robust networking protocols to ensure security. There is a central dashboard XenCenter to monitor all virtual environments, as well as XenMotion to move virtual machines to allow server maintenance to be done without impacting operations.
VMware vCloud Suite on the other hand addresses only private cloud installation, but includes a site recovery manager to handle disaster recovery for virtualized instances and another module to handle networking and security. Additionally there are options to track performance, optimize capacity, streamline configuration as well as automate policy & administrative setup for each environment.
