Maxta, Inc., a leading hyperconverged software company, today announced the release of version 3.5.2, which provides full support for Red Hat KVM. The combination of Red Hat KVM and Maxta delivers a cost-effective and powerful hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solution that simplifies virtualized and containerized workloads while offering unmatched scalability to meet current and future storage and compute needs.
This new version, 3.5.2, enables organizations to easily migrate virtual machines (VMs) from VMware ESXi to Red Hat Virtualization which would ultimately help to reduce the licensing & support costs. Maxta HCI solution allows customer the freedom to choose their own server platform, whether it’s hybrid or all-flash, and network infrastructure. It eliminates the lock-in of certain type of hardware & hypervisor vendors, and more importantly it facilitates the movement to open source virtualization.
“As we were planning to implement HCI for our San Leandro HQ, I looked at several other HCI solutions but none of them matched Maxta’s balance between features, versatility, ease of use, and price point. “, said Larry Y. Wong, Senior Systems Administrator at Peterson Holding.
