VMware and ClusterHQ collaborate to enable integration between containers and VMware vSphere-based storage -

ClusterHQ and VMware announced an integration between data management software Flocker ClusterHQ containers and VMware vSphere cloud. VMware has worked with ClusterHQ to develop a pluggable storage driver for vSphere cloud, providing the portable storage and persistent shared for organizations using Docker containers in conjunction with VMware.

Despite container capacity to run directly on bare metal servers, a recent investigation Devops.com developer, operations and professionals security reveals that the vast majority of containers (73%) is still executed within the virtual machines.

flocker-clusterhq integrated solution will provide direct access storage based on VMware vSphere - including virtual volumes VMware Virtual SAN and VMware vSphere - at the container, allowing developer and operations (DevOps) teams run applications more easily based stateful container on VMware vSphere cloud.

"Today, the containers do an excellent job facilitating application portability, but there are many additional operational needs that can be improved by combining containers with data center infrastructure solutions defined by VMware software, "said Skip Bacon, vice president, storage and availability, VMware ." by working with ClusterHQ to a VMware vSphere driver available for Flocker, makes us even easier for organizations deploying containerized applications to take advantage of persistent storage options offered. "

Docker containers

vmware-vcloud-vsphere Flocker of ClusterHQ would Docker containers stateful d be easily migrated between virtual servers, which is important when application development that include stateful services such as databases, queues and key -value stores. Flocker make simple and practical for entire applications, including their data, be containerized and achieve true portability between development, staging and production.

With the combination of Docker, VMware and Flocker , developers can adopt container technologies that accelerate their process of development and deployment while the operations team can continue use the VMware infrastructure. This combined approach would be beneficial to developers and operations teams, as both are able to use their platform of choice.
