Why MSPs Are Evaluating VMware Alternatives

 

VMware licensing changes are putting pressure on margins. Hyperscaler pricing can be difficult to predict. At the same time, clients are asking for secure cloud infrastructure and managed desktop options that many MSPs are not equipped to deliver on their own.

These conversations create an opportunity to expand what you offer while protecting the client relationships you have already built.

  • Replace uncertain infrastructure costs with more predictable pricing.
  • Give clients a private cloud alternative without building your own platform.
  • Add managed desktops to your portfolio without developing in-house VDI expertise.
  • Keep the client relationship and recurring revenue under your brand.
  • Support clients that need an alternative to VMware or public cloud.

Private Cloud and DaaS Built for MSPs

OpenCloud is a private cloud platform designed to help MSPs deliver infrastructure services without taking on the cost and complexity of building the underlying environment.

 

Add OpenCloud DaaS to offer secure cloud desktops alongside your infrastructure services. Choose how much you want to manage and where you want US Signal to provide support.

 

  • White-label ready: Deliver services under your brand and maintain ownership of the client relationship.
  • Multi-tenant management: Manage client environments from a single console.
  • Predictable pricing: Use a straightforward, non-tiered pricing model designed to help protect your margins.
  • Flexible management options: Manage the platform yourself or have US Signal manage it for you.
  • Partner enablement: Access training, sales support, marketing resources and TCO tools.
  • Reliable support: Back your services with a 100% SLA and 24/7 US-based support.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should MSPs look for in a VMware alternative?

MSPs should evaluate pricing predictability, migration support, multi-tenant management, reliability, technical support and the ability to maintain control of the client relationship. The platform should also fit the MSP’s preferred service model, whether self-managed, provider-managed or a combination of both.

Can MSPs white-label OpenCloud?

Yes. OpenCloud is white-label ready, allowing qualified partners to deliver private cloud and DaaS services under their own brands.

Does an MSP have to manage the platform?

No. Partners can choose a self-managed model or have US Signal manage the platform. This allows each MSP to determine how much operational responsibility it wants to take on.

Can MSPs offer DaaS without building their own platform?

Yes. OpenCloud DaaS enables MSPs to offer managed cloud desktops without investing in the infrastructure, software and specialized expertise required to build a DaaS platform internally.
