I first deployed ESX back in 2003 and from then on I was a huge fan of VMware. So, watching Broadcoms changes unfold is a little sad.
What i really wanted to ask is, for meduim to large enterprises that want on-prem infrastructures what are their options nowadays? I don’t work in this area any more so I’m out of touch.
Been using them 4 years now. Absolutely tops. The 3 times I have had to speak with their support I’ve been extremely impressed with the depth of their knowledge of Linux and their product.
Between Prism and CLI you can do anything. Up/downing the clusters are a little fiddly and the Windows guys hate it, but I love it. Plus I saved us $60k / year in licensing the 1st year alone.

Linux KVM. I’ve used it on bare metal production servers for years.
Proxmox probably comes the closest, there’s also…HyperV (gross)
My bet is Nutanix is going to grow a lot over the next few years.

Your option is Azure or AWS…
