Companies are looking for alternatives to vSphere and ESXi because they don't want to pay Broadcom's prices. It's their own fault, says Martin Loschwitz.
The champagne corks must have popped recently in Bräuhausgasse in Vienna's 5th district. VMware had just announced that various previously free components of vSphere and vCenter, including VMware ESXi, would have to be paid for separately by customers in future. As a result, VMware bills are exploding in many places, without there being any technical added value worth mentioning in return.
What is often overlooked in the anger about VMware and Broadcom is the fact that a migration from VMware to Proxmox is also a real upgrade in another respect: While VMware is a thoroughly proprietary product, Proxmox is based on open source components such as KVM, Qemu and Ceph. This also means that should Proxmox ever try to repeat VMware's stunt, it would be easy for affected administrators to replace the product with alternatives.
It makes you want to scream with rage when institutions such as the Federal Employment Agency proudly announce that they have successfully made the switch to Microsoft Teams. Or when German Chancellor Olaf Scholz personally intervenes, whose backend is Microsoft's Azure. The fact that the head of government of the world's third largest economy is almost begging to be allowed to transfer even more money to Redmond via detours is an outrageous farce.
