Renewal shock
is not a strategy.
Move your vSphere workloads to open-source KVM infrastructure — assessed, staged, reversible — and retire the licence line from your budget for good.
the moment
Licensing changes have turned predictable virtualization budgets into multi-fold renewal quotes across the industry. You don't have to re-sign under pressure. There is a supported, proven, open-source landing zone — and a team that will move you to it.
capability mapping
What replaces what.
| You run today (VMware) | You get on ScaleSpace |
|---|---|
| ESXi | KVM/QEMU — the hypervisor behind most of the world’s public cloud |
| vCenter | Web console + full REST APIs + Infrastructure-as-Code |
| vSAN | Ceph software-defined storage (block, file, and S3 object) |
| NSX | OVN software-defined networking: VPCs, security groups, microsegmentation |
| vMotion | Live migration |
| DRS + HA | Intelligent scheduling, anti-affinity, automatic instance recovery |
| Site Recovery Manager | DRaaS — replication, documented runbooks, periodic drills |
| VMDK disks | Converted to open qcow2/raw via industry-standard virt-v2v |
how the migration runs
Five waves. Rollback at every step.
- Free assessment
Inventory, dependency mapping, and a TCO comparison you can put in front of your CFO.
- Landing zone
We build your VPC, IAM, and connectivity — ideally over Direct Cloud Connect, so migration traffic never touches the internet.
- Pilot wave
Non-critical VMs first, converted and validated.
- Production waves
Per-application windows, parallel-run period, rollback plan at every step.
- Optimize
Right-size instances, apply reserved-capacity discounts, automate with Infrastructure-as-Code.
straight answers
The questions every IT head asks.
Yes — virtio drivers, tested conversion, licensing guidance included.
All-NVMe Ceph tiers and KVM deliver the throughput your databases expect.
We train them — or our managed-services tier runs the platform while they upskill.
Your disks are open-format from day one. Leaving is a download, not a negotiation.
