RHEV Primary Use Case

I work within the large Red Hat ecosystem. I started with Red Hat Enterprise Linux and continue to use it. I have begun utilizing their virtualization and VM technology, aiming to replace VMware.
Additionally, I use their Syslog. Most of these are installed on Red Hat Linux, including Zabbix, Wazoo, and Keycloak. Wazoo is a SIM solution.
View full review »Our main use cases for RHEV are that our legacy virtualization system became RHEV, which we use for the container environment, and we moved a lot of our workloads that were running on the VMware side.
The impact of RHEV on workload consolidation in our data center started first with separating Linux and Windows workloads in our environment. I don't know what percentage of savings we achieved with the Linux migrations, but I can say that 40% of the virtualization and other costs were eliminated from our legacy virtualization side. For the Windows side, we also initiated a digital transformation project, moving a lot of Windows applications to the container side and the open-source software side, which resulted in almost 70% savings of our past expenses.

Pretty much the same use cases you'd use any of the competing products like VMware or a Microsoft solution. It's a virtualization platform.

The primary use of this solution is to implement ERP. If you want to have multiple servers on the same machine or if you do not require multiple machines it supports kernel-based virtual machines.
For any application that requires 100% uptime, 100% of data accessibility, I use these servers.
Within our organization, there are roughly 100 employees using this solution.

Enterprise Virtualization is for specific customers. We are an integrator and we have some customers who want to have in their data center or in their office a virtualization solution. This solution is perfect for that type of client.

In my company, I am working in a strategic department. My primary task in the company at the present time is looking into an overall roadmap for our organization to adopt a virtualization solution. We are doing this mostly for cost optimization.
So I am exploring the potential benefits of different solutions and what the potential options are for us to minimize and optimize the costs and our overall tax expenditures by bringing in these VMware solutions.
Our goal is hosting multiple applications within one single host. The purpose is to reduce the number of physical servers and then to move from a physical to a virtual environment. This is the reason that we introduced the VMware solution.
So VMware is basically purely on the virtual environment that we have adopted because we are moving out from a physical environment to a virtual environment where we have deployed some VMware licenses to manage our various systems applications on one single host.
Of course, VMware is not an OS by itself. When it comes to the operating system, we are leveraging on the Red Hat virtual environment to be able to run and support the integration of multiple systems. So the VMware is being used to host the virtual environment. We have actually a combination of both Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization and VMware virtualization solutions to create the needed environment to meet these goals.
