VMware’s virtualization Voyage

Ned and Chris are at it again in the latest Chaos Lever episode, serving up their unique blend of tech expertise and uproarious humor! This time around, they’re tackling the big shake-up in the virtualization world ��� the aftermath of Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware. The duo dissect how these changes impact different business scales, from SMBs to large enterprises, providing actionable insights and practical strategies. If you’re grappling with decisions about virtualization, cloud migration, or seeking alternatives to VMware, this episode is your goldmine.

  • Small and Medium sized Businesses are already running on shoe-string budgets, so moving away from VMware will be more cost effective for many
  • If you are an SMB who is looking to replace your vSphere cluster with another solution, then I���d say Proxmox or xcp-ng would be your best bets for something almost free
  • For enterprises, migrating to a different platform is going to be incredibly expensive, time consuming, and ultimately provide very little in short term business value
  • Taking on a massive migration effort across 100 VMware clusters is probably going to be a quagmire from which your career never fully recovers, just look at the long trail of failed ERP migrations.
  • Who are the alternatives in the world of VMware? Here���s our list:
    • Nutanix
    • Hyper-V
    • Proxmox
    • xcp-ng
    • oVirt
    • OpenStack
    • If you���d like to see even more opinions on VMware alternatives, check out this Reddit discussion.
