I'm not affected by the change but I heard Proxmox and Xen brought up frequently as alternatives.
Of course there are always cloud providers but that's not really a good option for many.
I feel like Broadcom is aiming for cloud-like pricing for on prem services with none of the other benefits inherent to an Azure or AWS deployment. Not exactly the way to hold onto clients.
I'm familiar with proxmox and the broader KVM ecosystem. I'm also a huge fan of Veeam, who have said they're exploring support for proxmox. Shouldn't be too difficult to implement, given they have a RHEL backup product already.
Exciting stuff.
PBS is an excellent backup solution. I wouldn't let the lack of Veeam support on Proxmox hold you back.
It's really difficult to move away from a backup software you just switched to and paid > 100k to license for the next 3 years from a leadership standpoint haha. PBS, zfs snapshots and send, Ceph duplication. It all does more or less the same thing.
