How big can things go

Infinitely! From a single network node to thousands of network nodes in diverse worldwide locations, there is no limit. We’ve got you covered.

We recognise that organisations require infrastructure solutions capable of accommodating their evolving requirements. VMware Alternative stands out in this regard, providing effortless scalability choices that are simple to deploy.  Organisations can conveniently integrate nodes to extend their virtualisation and storage capacities, guaranteeing uninterrupted growth.

VMware Alternative’s scale-out strategy enables organisations to gradually enhance capacity as required, which is in complete contrast to VMware which can can be intricate, time-consuming and needing significant investments in hardware

How does licensing work?

VMware Alternative’s subscription based licensing model has a simplified pricing structure which is cost effective whereby users pay a recurring fee for access to its platforms features and services.

We do not adopt the approach of offering a multitude of licensing options including per-processor, per-VM, or per-user models, with pricing based on factors such as the edition (e.g., vSphere Standard, Enterprise Plus) as does VMware.

Our subscriptions  offer a more straightforward and potentially cost-effective licensing model compared to VMware, particularly for organisations looking for simplicity and scalability.

Does it Provide Backup & Business Continuity

VMwaware Alternative is designed with built-in high availability and resilience features. It utilises a distributed file system and automatic failover capabilities to minimise downtime during hardware failures. Even small organisations with limited IT resources can enjoy enterprise-level reliability.

in contrast, VMware offers similar high-availability features that often requires additional configurations and investments to achieve the same level of resilience.

The simplicity and out-of-the-box high availability of VMware alternative give us the edge.
