Platform9 Systems

Ever wondered how modern handle load balancing without dedicated appliances?

In his latest blog, Chris Jones delves into how Platform9 Private Cloud Director leverages Load Balancer as a Service (LBaaS), powered by OVN, to efficiently distribute network traffic across backend servers. This approach eliminates the need for separate load balancer VMs, streamlining deployment and management.

Key takeaways from the blog include:

🔹 The role of OVN in implementing load balancing directly within the distributed virtual router.
🔹 How this method compares to traditional solutions like VMware NSX.
🔹 The components involved in setting up LBaaS, such as listeners and pools.

VMware admins deal with lot of complexities like managing datastores, wrangling LUNs, and navigating vVols.

What if every VM could use exactly the right storage—across different vendors, in the same hypervisor cluster?

With Platform9 Private Cloud Director, that’s not just possible—it’s simple.
✅ Mix and match storage types per VM to fit the workload
✅ Attach volumes from multiple storage vendors—no lock-in
✅ Manage it all through an API-driven

Learn how this flexible approach redefines storage for private cloud and to see why Private Cloud Director is the modern VMware alternative:

Ever wondered how cloud workloads can be optimized automatically without any disruption?

Our latest blog Chris Jones, delves into the intricacies of Dynamic Resource Rebalancing (DRR) within the Private Cloud Director.

Explore how Platform9 Private Cloud Director intelligently and proactively manages VM workload distribution with Dynamic Resource Rebalancing (DRR) — no downtime, no manual intervention.

❇️ DRR continuously monitors CPU and memory usage
❇️ It identifies imbalances across hypervisor hosts
❇️ It triggers live VM migrations only when needed

VMware’s DRS.

If you're into smart cloud infrastructure or want to see autonomous operations in action, this is a must-read.

DRR is Platform9’s intelligent, automated mechanism designed to optimize the distribution of VM workloads across hypervisor hosts within a Private Cloud Director cluster. It continuously monitors key resource utilization metrics, such as CPU and memory usage, across all active hosts within the cluster. When DRR determines that rebalancing would improve the overall health and performance of the cluster, it automatically initiates live migration of VMs to less-utilized hosts without downtime.

This proactive approach ensures efficient resource utilization, prevents performance bottlenecks, and maintains optimal cluster health.
