Virtual Machines

For over two decades, virtual machines have been the standard for workload deployment, and in Tekkio, they hold a central role, right alongside containers. Built on the industry-standard KVM hypervisor, Tekkio supports both Windows and a wide range of Linux distributions, with full support for paravirtualized drivers to minimize overhead. By deploying VMs, applications benefit from strong isolation and enhanced security, while Tekkio automatically manages system resources to deliver optimal performance with minimal administrative effort.
Tekkio supports a full range of standard VM capabilities, including live migration, which keeps workloads continuously available, even during maintenance or upgrades. This means administrators can perform most tasks without disrupting end users. In the event of a VM failure, Tekkio automatically detects the issue and restarts the VM on another available node, ensuring minimal downtime and maintaining service continuity. These high-availability features are fully autonomous and enabled by default, reducing the need for manual oversight and giving teams peace of mind that their workloads are protected and always online.

With KVM rapidly becoming the industry standard for virtualization, Tekkio is well positioned to offer excellent interoperability and a smooth migration path from non-KVM-based solutions. Most major Linux distributions include native support for KVM, which means Tekkio can run on them out of the box with minimal configuration. For Windows environments, pre-built binaries are readily available, This broad compatibility ensures that organizations can modernize their infrastructure without being locked into a specific vendor or forced to overhaul their existing environments.
