You want to take containers from dev/test into production, but can your infrastructure deliver the resources and performance that containers need? Given your substantial VM investment and experience, it’s natural to run containers on a VM stack. But the truth is virtualization can defeat the benefits containers provide in the first place.

Instead, consider running containers on bare-metal infrastructure. By avoiding VMs, you’ll have:

  • Fewer layers to manage
  • 4x higher container density per node
  • Faster, more predictable performance — up to 2,400,000 IOPS
  • Up to 70% lower TCO
