Modernizing applications means being able to meet the challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s disruptive technologies. For organizations using K8s, part of the work of modernization is developing applications and microservices in containers but managing and creating single containers can slow the modernization process. Organizations need future-ready infrastructure that can manage and create container clusters quickly and easily at scale. In our data center, Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd servers successfully supported the latest VMware vSphere update, version 7.0 Update 1, and VMware Tanzu for Kubernetes management. Our administrators found the solution straightforward to deploy, requiring seven tasks for the Dell EMC PowerEdge R740xd server cluster.
Because VMware Tanzu centralizes K8s management, the solution increases agility by potentially streamlining hardware management processes. Based on our research, an organization could get the benefits of centralized K8s for the cost of $161,830, which includes the per processor license cost and our three-server cluster.
