Why MSPs are shifting from VMware to KVM
Future-ready infrastructure starts with control, cost-efficiency, and clarity.
In 2025, the rules of infrastructure have changed.
MSPs aren’t just looking for performance anymore — they’re looking for freedom.
- Freedom from unpredictable licensing.
- Freedom from per-server billing traps.
- Freedom from the lock-in of legacy platforms.
That’s why more and more MSPs are making the move:
From VMware to KVM
Why leave VMware?
Over the last 12 months, MSPs have seen VMware evolve into a high-cost, low-flexibility stack. And for many clients — especially SMBs and hybrid environments — it simply doesn’t fit anymore.
Here’s what we hear from MSPs in the field:
“My clients don’t want to renew, but they don’t know what else to do.”
“Pricing is a mess. We need stability and clarity.”
“We’re doing hardware refreshes and need something lightweight and compliant.”
Most importantly: they want control.
Why KVM?
KVM offers a battle-tested, open-source virtualization platform that ticks the right boxes for MSPs:
- Cost-effective: no surprise fees, no per-socket licenses
- Flexible: run it on-prem, hybrid, or in the cloud
- Compliant: align with GDPR, ISO, and NIS2
- Familiar: GUI-driven, full API support, growing community
- Smart: built-in backup tools, clustering, snapshots, and more
In short: it’s everything MSPs want — without the bloat.

- Option to install a KVM hyper inside existing VMware for staged rollout
- On-prem, hybrid, or full-cloud deployment
- Visual proof and screenshots that show ESXi running inside a KVM hyper
- Plug-and-play backup tool with one-file import/export
- Cluster-level control with transparent pricing
- We back it all with 24/7 live support and MSP-first pricing that beats VMware.
