I second this. XCP-NG is the closest to VM$$$ in function and scalability for SME. Veeam could create a whole package around this open-source solution including backups and host orchestration.Veeam is uniquely positioned to chose a vSphere successor, specifically in the SME space, since a lot of MSP’s and SME customers are using veeam and they love it, and veeam is a huge part of the their virtualization strategy, they will choose a hypervisor that veeam supports. In the same time if Veeam doesn’t include more hypervisor options soon enough it will force a lot companies to give up on-prem infrastructure as the added VMware tax will make it a none viable option and make the cloud more financially attractive this will result in a shrinking market for Veeam.
From my research it seems that XCP-NG is the closes to vSphere both in reliability, scalability and support options. With Veeam’s support it will make Broadcom regret buying VMware. I personally hope that Veeam moves fast to announce its intention to fully support XCP-NG
I would love to see this, and I would love to test this. Migrating workloads over to this might make me come out of retirement!
