My management is dead set on getting off VMware as quickly as possible. I've spent a lot of the past year and a half setting up test labs and reporting on these potential replacements:

  • oVirt and RHVC
  • Nutanix
  • scale
  • Azure Stack HCI
  • VX rail
  • Harvester and Rancher
  • A variety of qemu wrappers

None of us are very happy about it but it looks like Azure Stack HCI is the winner so far.

My team has a cost estimate for Azure Stack HCI as that was the winner for us. However, cost to switch is high and we’re just waiting for now. We will see if that waiting is a mistake….
