We see a clear ROI (return on investment) from our use of Red Hat Virtualization, not only from the hardware savings, but also from personnel efficiencies due to how fast we can spin up clusters and deploy virtual machines. And our software licensing costs are dramatically less with Red Hat Virtualization.
As an operation that functions 365 days a year with a plane always in the sky, high availability is key for the safety of our operation and ultimately our customers. Red Hat Virtualization now enables us to have a single-pane view to what is going on in the whole environment, which we didn’t have before.
