Veeam Backup & Replication • Re: Broadcom / VMware debacle

Likewise I'm wondering if we can look forward to seeing other hypervisors reach the level of adoption that is comparable to VMware 10 years ago. Because this will make the decision to implement that "number of advanced features" for such hypervisors much easier for us. While at this time, our best bet is to cast a wider net and see what gets into one.

Hi Gostev,

for us - and a number of other smaller customers I know - it's a bit of chicken or the egg. For example we use surebackup quiet a lot for testing and our new hypervisor of choice should be able to run surebackups. So we can only switch to a new one if it supports surebackup. But I understand that for you to implement more features (like surebackup) a hypervisor needs a more wider userbase.

We renewed vmware for now (with a wopping +225% pricetag to our previos bought enterprise plus license - so 335% all in all) to see where veeam is going in terms of "more features for hypervisor x/y/z" and will see where we are going then
