Escape the
VMware Cost Trap

Migrate your VMware Workloads to Kubernetes with KubeVirt + Simplyblock

The recent Broadcom acquisition of VMware has triggered a mass exodus. Pricing uncertainty, feature limitations, and restrictive licensing are pushing IT leaders to rethink their virtualization strategy.

Kubernetes, KubeVirt, and Simplyblock create the perfect symbiosis to take on your VMware workload migration not sacrificing on features or performance, but without the price tag.

Enterprises Are Leaving VMware (Broadcom)

Dramatic Price Increases

Customer license feed doubled and tripled over night, creating VMware refugees.

Feature Cuts and Bundles

New product bundles and features packages don't match customer requirements.

Lack of Transparency

Broadcom introduces ever-new changes over night. Customers have take or leave option.

Vendor Lock-In

Broadcom uses the vendor lock-in with the VMware ecosystem to tie customer hands.

Kubernetes + KubeVirt + Simplyblock

Create your unified infrastructure enabling a seamless platform for containerized and traditional workloads.

Simplyblock provides software-defined block storage built specifically for high-performance, cloud-native environments—like Kubernetes and KubeVirt. That makes simplyblock the ideal foundation for organizations looking into VMware migration.
