Cost-effective alternative to VMware
Navigate the Broadcom takeover of VMware with CivoStack Enterprise. Offering a more affordable and adaptable virtualization and cloud platform.
The VMware alternative.
The Broadcom takeover didn't just change your licensing: it changed the game.
CivoStack Enterprise is the direct replacement. Deployed on-prem on your own hardware, licensed by VRAM, and built with everything you relied on VMware for: live VM migration, high availability, multi-tenancy, and hybrid cloud connectivity across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Infrastructure-as-code tools and 24x7 enterprise support included as standard.
No lock-in. No licensing surprises. Up to 80% cheaper than Broadcom, with a long-term price commitment to prove it.
