Virtuozzo has released version 8.0 of Virtuozzo Infrastructure System (V/IS), an infrastructure software product the company presents as an alternative to VMware. The update extends infrastructure services to smaller sites without an expensive storage network and builds GPU-based offerings on a single platform.
The release is directed at service providers, SaaS companies, channel partners, and enterprises delivering cloud and AI services. V/IS unifies compute, storage, networking, management, automation, and protection in one system, and version 8.0 gives those groups greater flexibility across environments of different sizes.
Version 8.0 supports NVIDIA R595 and vGPU v20, enabling dedicated and shared GPU resources on the same host. The new lite option, which covers environments with one or two servers, runs compute, management, and storage together on local disks instead of shared storage. The release also makes migration from VMware vSphere 8 generally available without VDDK.
Lite deployments use standard V/IS licensing, priced per core and per TB of logical storage, and a one-server configuration can deliver approximately 53% lower total cost of ownership than VMware. Providers and channel partners can use the option for dedicated customer nodes, managed infrastructure on customer premises, and smaller business deployments that expand as demand grows.
Each independent deployment includes its own admin panel, monitoring, and alerting, and configurable system reservations reduce resources allocated to system services. Nodes with local storage can be added under common cluster management as capacity needs grow. Where customers require automatic VM failover, providers can introduce a storage network and shared V/Storage across at least three nodes to form a standard high-availability cluster.
“Organizations need the flexibility to pursue new AI opportunities while improving the economics of their overall infrastructure,” said Kurt Daniel, CEO of Virtuozzo. “With updated NVIDIA support and a smaller deployment footprint, Virtuozzo helps them bring GPU-powered services to more customers and locations. Our focus is on making cloud and AI easier to deliver, more efficient to operate, and profitable to grow.”
