As an effective alternative to the more expensive VMware
In the world of virtualization and cloud solutions, VMware is a long-standing leader, often seen as the standard for enterprises of all sizes. However, with the dramatic increase in VMware license prices from 1 May 2024, many organisations are finding themselves having to rethink their IT strategies and budgets. Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of switching to Proxmox software as a more cost-effective and technologically comparable alternative. Plus, with the ability to use native tools to easily migrate virtual machines from your existing ESXi.
Why consider Proxmox?
Proxmox VE (Virtual Environment) is an open-source virtualization and containerization platform that provides support for KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) and LXC containers. With its flexibility, scalability and no upfront licensing costs, Proxmox is proving to be an attractive solution for many organizations looking for an alternative to VMware.
Moreover, we at Faster CZ have been actively using it ourselves since 2013 and can guarantee its stability through our own positive experience.
Key benefits of Proxmox
Zero licensing cost: Proxmox is available as an open-source solution, which means that users only pay for support and updates, not for using the software itself.
Integrated support for virtualization and containers: Proxmox allows management of virtual machines (using KVM) and containers (using LXC) from a single interface.
High level of customization: users can easily adapt Proxmox to their specific needs thanks to its open and modular design.
Easy scalability: Proxmox supports clustering, making it easy to expand your infrastructure as needed.
Migrate from VMware with our support
While VMware continues to offer a robust virtualization solution, for many organizations, switching to Proxmox can be an effective solution to reduce costs and increase flexibility in their IT infrastructure. The migration tools available make this transition feasible with an acceptable impact on day-to-day operations.
Our tireless administrators will be happy to help you with the complete preparation of the whole process and guide you through the different phases so that the migration to Proxmox is as easy as possible for your company.
