Your VMware Alternative Has Arrived

Deliver an internal cloud experience with self-service, resource governance, and full visibility — on Proxmox, without the licensing costs.

Broadcom changed the rules. VMware licensing costs have exploded, and suddenly the platform you've relied on for a decade is eating your IT budget alive. The good news: you don't have to keep paying.

The Enterprise IT Dilemma

VMware costs are exploding

Post-Broadcom acquisition, licensing changes have blown up budgets. Renewal quotes are 3-5x higher than before.

Developers are frustrated

Waiting days for IT to provision a VM feels absurd when public cloud takes seconds. Shadow IT fills the gap.

Governance is all or nothing

Either developers wait in ticket queues, or they get unrestricted access and blow through budgets.

Visibility is limited

Understanding who's using what resources — and why — requires manual effort and tribal knowledge.

Migration feels risky

Even if you want to leave VMware, the path to an alternative platform isn't clear.

Self-Service

Developer Self-Service

Give development teams a portal to provision their own VMs and Kubernetes clusters from approved templates. No more tickets for routine requests. Developers get speed, IT keeps control.

Governance

Resource Governance

Set quotas per team or department. Developers get autonomy within boundaries. Finance gets predictability. IT keeps control. Everyone wins — except shadow IT.
