“When looking to expand, we examined and did personal tours with several of the data centers in the Valley. We were wasting our time though because phoenixNAP was by far the best we found. They had the most carriers, which allowed for the cheapest, fastest and highest quality bandwidth, as well as extremely competitive pricing on cabinets.”

VMware VCloud Director Tutorial & Quick Start Guide
This document is a quick-start guide to the phoenixNAP Virtual Private Data Center and Data Security Cloud products.Both of these products utilize the VMware vCloud Director user interface to manage virtual machines, networking and storage solutions.
This article covers step by step, how to perform initial network configuration, how to create a vApp, and lastly, how to connect a VM to the internet.
Containers Vs Virtual Machines (VMs): What’s The Difference?
Both virtual machines and containers are used to created isolated virtual environments for developing and testing applications or software. The question is how they differ.
This article examines the two concepts to help understand the difference between a container and a VM. It defines containers and virtual machines separately, as well as side-by-side, to see what makes one distinct from the other.
Docker Image Vs Container: The Major Differences
Docker is an open-source software designed to facilitate and simplify application development. It is a set of platform-as-a-service products that create isolated virtualized environments for building, deploying, and testing applications.
This article explains how the two differ, as well as how they are related. Read more to find out.
Understanding Kubernetes Architecture With Diagrams
This tutorial is the first in a series of articles that focus on Kubernetes and the concept of container deployment. Kubernetes is a tool used to manage clusters of containerized applications. In computing, this process is often referred to as orchestration.
Understanding Kubernetes architecture is crucial for deploying and maintaining containerized applications.
