Hi,
We use XCPng in several clusters (with 9, 8 and 6 nodes, and several
others with 2-3 nodes, all with shared storage) with great success. It
is free software and you can purchase support if you want. We have been
using Xen-ish since before the Citrix era and we can see that XCPng is
not only mature but feature complete as well.
Best regards.

Hi All,
We have four servers where we can't retrieve our free ESXi VMWare
license after Broadcom shut things down and they are in evaluation
mode for about 30 more days.
Does any one have any advice? Is there a product we can buy? Is
there an alternative you've been switching over to using? Anyone have
a spare license we can use?
Regards,
KAM
Similar products are Microsoft Hyper-V, Oracle Linux Virtualization
Manager (OLVM), Proxmox and Nutanix. Each one of these products has
some shortcommings compared to VMware. If you don't need a GUI to
manage your virtual environment you might consider using KVM (Linux)
or bhyve (FreeBSD) as hypervisor.
At work we are currently building a PoC with OLVM as we have Oracle
licenses anyway. And because OVLM is the one product that comes
closest to the feature set of VMware we need. But I still hope we find
a way forward with VMware. Moving everything to Oracle gives me
nightmares.
Personally I don't think XCP-ng is the horse one should bet on. Xen as
a hypervisor has the same history as Linux on the desktop: next year
it will be big. Well, many next years have come and gone. But the
prophecy didn't come true.
Cheers,
Bruno
