Your Cloud Team, Without the Overhead. A named team of engineers dedicated to your infrastructure, available 24/7 across three time zones. Zero-friction migration. One SLA that covers everything.
Your engineering team should be building products, not fighting infrastructure fires at 3 AM. Yet most companies spend up to 40% of their engineering capacity on operational toil.
Sound familiar? You are not alone. These are the exact problems we solve every day for companies like Deezer, Molotov, and Dailymotion.
Hundreds of alerts, no context. Your on-call engineers burn out triaging noise instead of resolving real incidents.
Cloud bills that grow faster than your revenue. Orphaned resources, oversized instances, and zero visibility into spend.
Cloud expertise is expensive and hard to retain. One departure can leave critical knowledge gaps across your stack.
Multi-cloud sprawl with fragmented SLAs, separate billing, and no single pane of glass. Complexity that compounds every quarter.
Whether you run on public cloud, private infrastructure, or a mix of both — we provide the same level of operational excellence, 24/7 coverage, and engineering rigor across all environments.
We operate your workloads on AWS, Azure, GCP, and OVHcloud with certified expertise across all major providers. Our managed services include architecture design, migration, FinOps cost optimization, security hardening, and 24/7 incident response.
For workloads requiring total control, data sovereignty, or regulatory compliance (HDS, GDPR, ISO 27001), we design and operate dedicated private cloud infrastructure using open-source platforms — eliminating vendor lock-in and licensing cost explosion.
Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has fundamentally changed the equation for every organization running vSphere. Licensing costs have been multiplied by 3 to 10x, perpetual licenses have been replaced by mandatory subscriptions, and product bundles force you to pay for capabilities you don't use. For many enterprises, the annual VMware bill has become the single largest line item in their infrastructure budget.
The good news: the European open-source virtualization ecosystem has matured dramatically. Platforms like OpenNebula (developed in Spain) and Proxmox VE (developed in Austria) now deliver enterprise-grade features — live migration, high availability, software-defined networking, integrated backup — that match or exceed VMware capabilities, at a fraction of the cost and with zero vendor lock-in. As European-born solutions, they align naturally with EU data sovereignty requirements and digital autonomy goals.
As a managed cloud provider with 25+ years of virtualization expertise, we handle the entire migration journey: from initial assessment through production cutover and ongoing 24/7 operations on your new open-source platform.
Overnight price hikes with no performance improvement. Perpetual licenses eliminated in favor of mandatory subscriptions.
Product SKUs consolidated into expensive bundles. You pay for features you don't need and can't opt out.
Broadcom has dismantled the VMware partner program, reducing support options and increasing dependence on a single vendor.
Open-source platforms eliminate per-socket and per-VM licensing. Pay only for support subscriptions if needed.
Standard KVM hypervisor, open APIs, open formats. Your VMs run on industry-standard technology, forever portable.
Same enterprise-grade NOC coverage you had with VMware, now running on open-source. We monitor, patch, and operate.
We recommend the right platform based on your scale, team, and requirements.
Enterprise cloud management platform that unifies private, public, and edge computing. OpenNebula provides a VMware-like management experience with seamless VM migration, multi-tenancy, and native Kubernetes integration — ideal for organizations operating across multiple data centers or planning hybrid cloud strategies.
KVM, Firecracker, LXC — choose the right engine for each workload
Import VMware VMs directly with built-in migration tooling
Orchestrate workloads across data centers, edge sites, and public cloud
Run VMs and containers side by side with integrated K8s management
Iguana Solutions is an official OpenNebula partner, featured in our Tech Day keynotes alongside NVIDIA and Dell.
Complete open-source virtualization platform combining KVM and LXC with a powerful web interface. Proxmox is the most direct VMware replacement for organizations seeking familiar management tools, integrated storage (Ceph, ZFS), and a clear upgrade path without the complexity of a full cloud management stack.
Built-in VMDK/OVA import tool for fast VM conversion
Live migration, fencing, automatic failover across nodes
Software-defined storage with replication, snapshots, and thin provisioning
Integrated Proxmox Backup Server with dedup, encryption, and scheduling
Proxmox is used by over 800,000 hosts worldwide, from SMBs to Fortune 500 companies.
A rigorous, battle-tested process that ensures zero data loss and minimal downtime.
Complete inventory of your VMware estate: vCenter topology, ESXi hosts, VM configurations, storage volumes (VMFS, vSAN), distributed switches, resource pools, DRS/HA rules, backup policies, and licensing costs. We map every dependency so nothing is missed.
Side-by-side cost comparison: current VMware spend vs. OpenNebula vs. Proxmox over 3 and 5 years. We factor in licensing, support contracts, hardware reuse, training costs, and operational overhead to recommend the optimal platform for your environment.
Design the target architecture: compute nodes, storage backend (Ceph, NFS, local), networking topology (VLANs, SDN, bridges), HA clustering, backup strategy, and monitoring stack. Every component is documented and validated before deployment.
Deploy the target platform alongside your existing VMware infrastructure. Migrate a representative set of non-critical workloads first: convert VMDK disks, validate network connectivity, test application behavior, and benchmark performance against baselines.
Phased migration of all production workloads during scheduled maintenance windows. Live VM migration where possible, cold migration with minimal downtime for stateful workloads. Rollback procedures validated and ready at every step. Zero data loss guaranteed.
Post-migration hypercare period followed by ongoing 24/7 managed operations. Our NOC monitors your new platform around the clock: patching, capacity planning, performance tuning, security updates, and continuous optimization to maximize ROI.
