VMware Alternative

VMware vs. EasyStack

Since the Broadcom acquisition, VMware’s licensing, packaging, and partner model have all changed. Here is how an EasyStack private cloud answers each shift.

Licensing model
VMware
Perpetual licenses replaced by a subscription-only model, at a higher ongoing cost than the one-time licenses they replaced.
EasyStack
Open standard foundation with no activation server — nothing has to phone home to keep your cloud running.
Product packaging
VMware
The portfolio has been consolidated into fewer, more comprehensive bundles, so many customers now buy more than they need.
EasyStack
Modular platform — compute, storage, network, and cloud-native layers are deployed independently.
Pricing & discounts
VMware
Discounts and special pricing arrangements previously offered have been eliminated.
EasyStack
30–50% lower total cost of ownership amortized over three to five years, reusing the hardware already in your racks.
Customer focus
VMware
Larger enterprises are prioritized over smaller customers, whose costs have risen sharply.
EasyStack
One platform across mid-size and large deployments, with more than 100,000 nodes running in production.
Roadmap & innovation
VMware
Aggressive pricing strategies aimed at revenue recovery now shape the commercial roadmap.
EasyStack
OpenStack community development drives continuous innovation and earlier access to new capabilities.
Partners & support
VMware
Resellers and service providers have moved to an invite-only model, leaving customers with fewer support options.
EasyStack
Delivered and supported locally by Cloudist, the exclusive EasyStack partner for Europe and the Middle East.

How We Work

A staged engagement designed to prove value before you commit to a full migration.

1

Discovery Workshop

We assess your current infrastructure, workloads, and sovereignty requirements against a private cloud architecture.

2

Limited-Scope Pilot

We prove the platform on a defined workload before any broader commitment.

3

Gradual Migration

We move production workloads over time, running old and new environments in parallel until you're ready to cut over.
