| Product | Harvester is open-source hyperconverged infrastructure for bare-metal servers, combining virtualization and distributed storage. | SvHCI is a full-stack HCI platform for x86 servers that combines a hypervisor, virtual networking, virtualized storage, and management. |
| Technology | Its architecture uses Kubernetes, KubeVirt, Longhorn, Grafana, and Prometheus, with SUSE Linux Micro at its core. | The Linux-based appliance uses KVM for its hypervisor, Open vSwitch for virtual networking, and StorMagic SvSAN for storage. |
Harvester suits teams running VMs, Kubernetes in VMs, bare-metal containers, or edge workloads on supported server hardware. It is for users who can deploy and manage bare-metal infrastructure.
It suits SMBs and edge-computing environments running x86 servers and needing integrated virtualization, storage, networking, and management. Two-node deployments suit users requiring synchronous high availability.
