Embracing Flexibility: Navigating the Transition from VMware to Proxmox.
In the dynamic world of IT infrastructure, change is the only constant. Recent shifts in VMware’s licensing model, driven by Broadcom’s acquisition, have presented both challenges and opportunities for businesses reliant on virtualization technologies. At J2 Group, we’ve been at the forefront of adapting to these changes, guiding our clients through seamless transitions to robust and cost-effective alternatives like Proxmox VE.
Understanding the Change
