Why migrate from VMware?

With the recent changes in VMware’s licensing models following the acquisition by Broadcom, many companies are facing significant increases in licensing costs. Additionally, the bundling requirements with other Broadcom products and the complexity of contracts have led many to seek more cost-effective and flexible alternatives. In this context, PopSolutions offers a specialized migration service to Proxmox VE, an open-source virtualization platform that stands out for its robustness, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.

Advantages of Proxmox VE over VMware

Cost Reduction

One of the main advantages of Proxmox VE is the absence of licensing costs since it is an open-source platform. This contrasts with VMware, whose licenses can be significantly expensive, especially after the recent changes implemented by Broadcom. Companies that migrate to Proxmox VE can reallocate the savings to other critical areas, optimizing their IT budget​.

Flexibility and Scalability

Proxmox VE supports a wide range of storage technologies, including Ceph, ZFS, and LVM. Additionally, it offers native integration with monitoring and management tools such as Grafana, Zabbix, and Netbox, providing efficient orchestration of the IT environment. This allows for easy scalability and adaptation to the growing needs of the business.

Storage and Resilience

With support for various storage solutions such as DAS, NAS, SAN, and SDS, Proxmox VE facilitates the implementation of high-availability architectures and disaster recovery plans, ensuring business continuity and minimizing the risks of data loss.
