It’s time to upgrade or to renew your VMware vSphere licenses. This decision is not easy for a few reasons such as:

You might be hesitantly considering paying for an upgrade and ELA renewal because you believe there is no (other) choice.

I have good news for you. There is a reliable and enterprise choice and switching has never been easier with the recent release of

Red Hat Virtualization 4.

Here are five reasons to switch from VMware to Red Hat Virtualization:

Reason Red Hat Virtualization VMware vSphere
1. User Portal Included at no additional cost, allows users to self-service - create/delete/modify virtualization resources. Requires vCloud at additional cost.
2. OpenStack
Networking
Integration with OpenStack Neutron and choice of partner networking solutions. Requires NSX at additional cost.
3. OpenStack Cinder Allows configuration of Ceph storage domains via OpenStack Cinder. Requires vSAN.
4. Licensing Subscription model includes product, all upgrades / versions, and technical support. Requires vCenter license + support, vSphere License + support, and there may be license compatibility issues across versions.
5. Easy to Migrate Migrate workloads from VMware to Red Hat Virtualization via a simple GUI. No out-of-the-box migration options.
