Comparison
Cloud-PVE vs VMware
Since the Broadcom acquisition, VMware means subscription bundles, sharp price increases and a reshuffled partner program. Managed Proxmox VE is the open-source way out.
| Aspect | Cloud-PVE | VMware (Broadcom) |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing model | A predictable management fee | Subscription bundles |
| Price trajectory | Stable | Sharp increases since Broadcom |
| Hypervisor | Proxmox VE (KVM), open source | ESXi, proprietary |
| Vendor lock-in | None, standard Proxmox | Heavy |
| Migration support | Assisted VMware to Proxmox migration | Not applicable |
| Data location | France / EU, your choice | Depends on the contract |
