DIIf you’re looking to move off VMware - you’ve got options.
After Broadcom bought VMware earlier this year, there have been reports of huge price increases.
(up to 10x as much!!!)
If you’re looking to change, consider these alternatives:
Nutanix
- Software Defined HCI
- doesn’t require separate storage or virtualization software like vSAN and vSphere
Azure Stack HCI
- HCI managed from the cloud
- AHV hypervisor is included at no additional cost
- with Azure Arc, can replace vSphere, vSAN & vRealize
Apache CloudStack
- open source (if you’re into that)
- good for large scale deployments
- flexible, supports multiple hypervisors
Redhat OpenShift (or Kubernetes)
- may mean you need to refactor some apps
- tools like Konveyor or Tanzu can help migrate
- containers can be more efficient & portable than VM’s
Remember - every IT environment is unique.
There isn’t a one size fits all solution.
If you need help with which option is right for your business, make sure you reach out to your partner!
P.S. If you’re moving off VMware, what is your pick?
