Escaping VMware?

Epic Edge migrates your VMware workloads to OpenStack, Proxmox VE or Kubernetes — with zero lock-in, full EU data sovereignty and SLA 99.99%. No Broadcom surprises. Ever again.

The Broadcom problem is real. And it's getting worse.

Since Broadcom acquired VMware in 2023, European companies have faced  price increases of up to 1,500%. Perpetual licenses are gone. Bundles you don't need are mandatory. Partner programs have been gutted. 2026 is the year of decisions — and open source is winning. → 48% of VMware users are now paying double for the same features → 40% of OpenStack contributions come from Europe → Dutch Rijkswaterstaat saw its VMware bill jump from €2.1M to €4M

Three migration paths. One expert team.

01

VMware → OpenStack

The enterprise-grade path for large private clouds, telco and service providers. Full IaaS with Nova, Neutron, Cinder and Ceph storage. Multi-tenant, API-first, infinitely scalable. Best for: Cloud providers, telco, enterprises with 100+ VMs

02

VMware → Proxmox VE

The fastest path for SMEs and MSPs. Hyper-converged, KVM/LXC, HA clustering, live migration and incremental backups — at a fraction of VMware's cost. Best for: SMEs, MSPs, organisations with 10–100 VMs

03

VMware → Managed Kubernetes

The cloud-native path for teams running microservices, AI/ML workloads or modern applications. Private clusters, auto-scaling, CI/CD and observability — fully managed by Epic Edge. Best for: Scale-ups, dev teams, AI/ML workloads

Service of interest (optional)

From VMware to open source in 4 steps.

01 — Assessment (Week 1)

We analyse your existing VMware environment: VMs, networking, storage, dependencies and compliance requirements. You receive a full migration plan with timeline and cost estimate.

​

02 — Architecture design (Week 1–2)

We design your target open-source architecture — OpenStack, Proxmox VE or Kubernetes — with IaC (Terraform + Ansible) ready for deployment.

​

03 — Migration & cut-over (Week 2–4)

Near-zero downtime migration. Workloads are moved progressively with automated testing at each step. Cut-over happens in a controlled maintenance window.

 

04 — Managed services 24/7

Once live, our NOC/SOC team monitors, patches and manages your infrastructure around the clock. Full-stack monitoring, FinOps and backup/DR included.
