KVM virtualisation
Run existing Windows and Linux workloads as virtual machines.
Private cloud · Virtuozzo
A VMware alternative for enterprise private cloud
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, many organisations face higher licence costs, the end of perpetual licences and an uncertain roadmap. CE Core moves your virtual machines to Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure, an OpenStack-based platform that runs on the hardware you choose.
The problem
Why organisations are leaving VMware
Rising licence costs
Subscription-only bundles have pushed renewal prices up sharply for many customers.
Too many products to run
A full VMware stack often means vSphere, vSAN, NSX, Tanzu and VCD, each with its own licence and skills.
Roadmap uncertainty
Product changes and partner programme changes make long-term planning harder.
The platform
What Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure gives you
Virtuozzo replaces the VMware stack with one product that combines the parts you need, on commodity hardware.
OpenStack orchestration
Production-ready OpenStack without the usual complexity, with self-service portals.
Software-defined storage
Block, file and S3-compatible object storage built in.
Kubernetes management
CNCF-certified Kubernetes clusters next to your virtual machines.
Flexible licensing
Subscription or perpetual licences, so cost follows your budget model.
No vendor lock-in
Built on open-source technology and standard hardware.
What CE Core does
From assessment to operations
- 01
Assess
We inventory your VMs, storage, networks and licences, and estimate the cost of staying versus moving.
- 02
Design
Target architecture, hardware sizing, network plan and a phased migration schedule.
- 03
Migrate
Warm migration while VMs stay online where possible, cold migration as a fallback, with rollback for each phase.
- 04
Operate
Monitoring, updates and support for the new platform after go-live.

FAQ
Common questions
Other platforms we deliver:
How long does a VMware migration take?
It depends on the number of VMs, their size and how much downtime each one can accept. After the assessment you receive a phased plan with dates for each group of workloads.
Will our VMs be offline during migration?
Many VMs can be moved with warm migration while they keep running. VMs that are under heavy load or incompatible move with cold migration during an agreed maintenance window.
Can we keep our existing hardware?
Often yes. Virtuozzo runs on standard x86 servers, and we check your hardware against its requirements during the assessment.
