WIKIBLOX VS VMWARE
WikiBlox is a Platform as a Service built and operated by Wiki Labs. It consolidates hybrid cloud infrastructure, disaster recovery, observability, and security into one managed environment — one contract, one SLA, one support team that picks up the phone.
VMware is a proprietary hypervisor. After the Broadcom acquisition, the licensing model changed, costs went up, and products were discontinued. WikiBlox replaces that dependency with an open architecture built on Red Hat OpenShift. Your data stays in Malaysia. If you ever want to take operations in-house, documentation and knowledge transfer happen at the end of your engagement. Nothing is locked.
VMWARE
Proprietary hypervisor. Vendor-controlled licensing. Costs rose 3–5x after Broadcom. Offshore support queues.
WIKIBLOX
Open architecture on Red Hat OpenShift. Fixed transparent pricing. Data and support team
based in Malaysia.
WHY WIKIBLOX
Three things come up in every WikiBlox conversation: cost, compliance, and what
happens when something breaks.
One FSI enterprise cut operating costs by 40% within three months of migrating. Fixed, transparent pricing — no per-socket fees, no mandatory bundle upgrades.
Configured from day one to meet Bank Negara RMiT and PDPA requirements. Data stays onshore. Access controls are auditable. Documentation is accurate for auditors.
Critical incidents get a response within one hour. DaaS hardware failures resolve within 24–48 hours nationwide. No escalation matrix, no offshore handoff.
99.9% uptime SLA on the Open Hybrid Cloud Platform. One ISP restored operations within its agreed recovery window with no data loss.
PLATFORM FEATURES
Capabilities included in a WikiBlox engagement, each delivered and managed by the Wiki
Labs team.
Run virtual machines and containers on one Kubernetes-native cluster. VMware workloads move without rewriting applications.
Provisioning, patch management, configuration, and compliance checks run automatically. Playbooks written by certified engineers.
Full-stack monitoring across infrastructure, applications, and security. Connects to CheckMK, Grafana, SolarWinds, LogRhythm, Nagios, and Ivanti.
Automated failover across private and public cloud. RPO as low as 15 minutes. RTO within hours. Tested regularly, not assumed.
Continuous security monitoring with proactive threat hunting. Critical incident response within one hour, aligned to PDPA and RMiT.
Hardware lifecycle management, nationwide support, and device replacement within 24 to 48 hours. No separate hardware contract needed.
Pre-built and custom AI modules: multilingual chatbots in English, Malay, and Mandarin, AI-driven analytics, and AIOps for operational intelligence.
Every engagement ends with structured knowledge transfer. Your team receives documentation and training to operate independently if you choose to.
USE CASES
Core banking and customer data run on WikiBlox's private cloud layer, onshore in Malaysia. Analytics and fraud detection scale to the public cloud when load requires it. RMiT compliance controls are configured at the platform level, with audit trails maintained automatically.
Telcos consolidate VM and container workloads on a single managed cluster. Ansible Automation replaces manual configuration management across large server estates. Provisioning time for new services drops from days to hours.
Government-linked companies need technology choices that satisfy procurement governance and keep data within Malaysia. WikiBlox runs on open standards, data stays onshore, and the vendor relationship is transparent and auditable.
High availability and fast recovery for claims and underwriting systems. Disaster recovery orchestration sets RPO at 15 minutes and RTO within hours. Failover is tested, not assumed.
An internet service provider in Malaysia experienced a major infrastructure outage. Wiki Labs deployed disaster recovery orchestration; workloads recovered within the agreed RTO and RPO with no data loss. The client now runs WikiBlox across both primary and secondary sites.
RED HAT PREMIER PARTNER
WikiBlox runs on Red Hat OpenShift. Wiki Labs holds Red Hat Premier Partner status, verified on the Red Hat Ecosystem Catalog under container management specialization. The engineers who configure your cluster hold active Red Hat certifications, and Ansible playbooks follow Red Hat published best practices.
