Thankfully, there are some commendable open source alternatives to VMware. This article explores a few that integrate with LINBIT's open source software technology for high availability (HA), disaster recovery (DR), and software-defined storage (SDS) 💯 By using a fully open source solution stack, you can avoid vendor lock-ins and disruption to your business and the services that you provide to your customers 🙏 https://hubs.ly/Q04qsBlP0

About us
LINBIT keeps Linux systems up and running. As the developers of DRBD® software (http://docs.linbit.com/), LINBIT has led the way in high availability since 2001. DRBD® has been included in the Linux kernel since version 2.6.33 (2009), has been deployed on all major Linux distributions and is fully compatible with systems, applications, devices and services. With LINBIT SDS the company creates a high performing Software-Defined Storage (SDS) solution using Linux OS for shared block storage which integrates with the relevant cloud and virtualization systems. With the LINBIT SDS solution, common-off-the-shelf hardware is turned into blazingly fast, reliable block storage. DRBD® is integrated into OpenStack, OpenNebula, Docker Kubernetes and Proxmox. LINSTOR® is an Open Source management tool designed to manage block storage devices for large Linux server clusters. Its primary use-case is currently to provide persistent Linux block storage for Kubernetes, OpenStack, OpenNebula and OpenShift environments. LINBIT Disaster Recovery provides real-time data replication across geographically separated data-centers. This can be a private location nearby or into a public cloud thousands of miles away. LINBIT’s global team is made up of International Open Source experts. LINBIT has offices in Europe and the US and partnerships across 5 continents. LINBIT provides additional products and services maximizing the performance of the DRBD®, ensuring its seamless implementation and maintenance.
