For decades, the conversation around enterprise virtualization began and ended with one name. It was the “safe” bet, the industry standard, and the default line item in IT budgets worldwide. There was a prevailing sentiment in the boardroom: if you wanted serious, enterprise-grade virtualization, there was only one path forward. VMware.
But looking back, that narrative wasn’t accurate.
While VMware dominated the headlines and the market share, it was never the only capable player on the field. There were other secure, high-performance alternatives in the background. They weren’t just “cheaper” options or experimental toys; they were robust, secure, and highly reliable platforms that powered massive infrastructures – just without the same marketing fanfare as VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V.
Need proof? AWS, the biggest cloud on the planet, doesn’t run on VMware. It runs on hardened, customized versions of Xen and KVM. If those platforms can power Amazon-scale workloads, they can power yours.
The idea that we are only nowseeing alternatives emerge is a misconception. These technologies such as Xen, KVM, and LXC have been mature for years. Whether through open-source innovation or competing proprietary engines, IT leaders have always had access to platforms capable of matching the performance and security benchmarks set by VMware.
Today, as the landscape shifts and licensing models change, organizations are finally looking outward. But they aren’t stepping into a wild frontier; they are simply discovering the rich ecosystem of technology that has been there all along, waiting for a chance to prove that reliability doesn’t require a single specific logo.
That is where Rudio comes in. Rudio is a security-firstmanaged security and private cloud provider built for organizations that want control – not vendor lock-in.
Unlike many “private cloud” providers, we don’t simply resell AWS or Google Cloud. We build and operate our own environments. This gives our customers full transparency, predictable pricing, and complete control over where and how their workloads run.
What does that mean for you? A team with over 100 years of combined IT and security experience. A partner who doesn’t see you as a number on a spreadsheet, but as a valued member of the family. A provider who enables your goals instead of constraining them. We see your business success as our success. At the end of the day, we are “Business Enablers.”
Rudio also extends to your IT room. We can provide fully managed or co-managed, on-premise solutions for your virtual and network infrastructures.
The era of the “only choice” is over, because it was an illusion from the start. Today, you have more options, more control, and more leverage than ever before. And with the right partner, you can finally build the virtualized infrastructure your business deserves.
