VMware, Windows Server, and other enterprise software licenses are getting more expensive every year. But here's the thing — there are free, proven alternatives that do the same job just as well. We help small businesses make the switch safely, with zero downtime and zero data loss.
Find Out How Much You Can SaveFree cost analysis. No obligation. We'll show you exactly what you could save.
You're not imagining it. Enterprise software vendors are squeezing small businesses harder every year.
Since Broadcom bought VMware, businesses are seeing 2x to 10x price increases on renewals. If you're running VMware ESXi or vSphere, you're probably paying way more than you need to.
Hyper-V Server is being discontinued. Windows Server licensing gets more confusing (and expensive) every cycle. Microsoft is pushing everyone to Azure — but that's not the right fit for every small business.
Switching feels impossible when your whole business runs on one vendor's platform. So they raise prices, and you pay — because what else can you do? (Spoiler: a lot, actually.)
You've heard of open source alternatives. Maybe your IT person has even mentioned them. But migrating your business systems feels risky, and you don't know who to trust with it.
The technology that runs most of the internet — including Google, Amazon, and Netflix — is open source. It's free, it's battle-tested, and it's been around for decades.
We use a platform called Proxmox VE to replace VMware and Hyper-V. It does everything they do — running multiple servers on one machine, managing backups, keeping things running if hardware fails — without the per-server, per-year licensing fees.
This isn't some experimental hobby project. Proxmox is used by thousands of businesses worldwide, backed by a professional company, and trusted for production workloads. The only difference? You don't pay licensing fees.
Here's a real-world example for a typical small business running 3 servers:
| Cost | VMware | With Us |
|---|---|---|
| Software licenses | $5,000-15,000/yr | $0 |
| Backup software | $1,000-3,000/yr | $0 (built-in) |
| Management console | $2,000-5,000/yr | $0 (included) |
| Vendor lock-in | Locked in | You own it all |
| Annual surprises | Price hikes | None |
Switching sounds scary. We get it. That's why we've built a proven process that takes the risk out of it completely. Here's what happens:
We review your current setup — what software you're running, what it costs, and what your systems actually do for your business. No charge, no commitment. We just want to understand your situation.
Your team's day-to-day experience doesn't change. The same files, applications, and workflows keep working. What changes is what's running underneath — and what shows up on your annual software bill.
Nothing gets unplugged until the new system is running and tested. Your old and new systems run side by side, so you can see everything working before we switch over.
We pick a maintenance window that works for your business, move everything over, and verify it all works. Most businesses experience less than an hour of downtime.
We don't disappear after the migration. We provide ongoing support, answer questions, train your team, and make sure everything keeps running smoothly.
That's the number one thing business owners ask us. And it's a smart question. Here's our honest answer:
We've been doing this for over 30 years. We've migrated hundreds of systems. We take full backups before touching anything. We run the old and new systems in parallel. We don't cut over until you say you're confident.
And if something unexpected comes up? We fix it. That's what we do. We're small business owners too — we understand that downtime costs money, and your data is your business.
When you reach out, you'll talk directly with our founder — not a sales rep. He'll review what you're currently running and paying for, and put together a straightforward comparison showing what you could save.
No sales team. You'll hear back personally within one business day.
