Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About VMware & Alternatives, Answered

Whether you're sticking with VMware or exploring other platforms, here’s what service providers like you want to know.

There’s no single best option – it depends on your workloads and infrastructure. We’ve helped providers succeed with Linux KVM, HPE Morpheus, and other platforms designed for real-time performance, not just generic IT.

It can be – especially if you're dealing with high licensing costs or vendor lock-in. We help CSPs evaluate if a switch makes sense, and what performance or support tradeoffs may come with it.

Migration complexity depends on how your VMware environment is configured. ECG builds custom migration roadmaps based on your current setup, technical requirements, and business goals.
Yes. Not all situations require switching platforms. ECG helps you tune your existing VMware infrastructure for performance and efficiency – without pushing you to abandon what already works.
Many don’t handle it well out of the box. We help ensure that your new platform can deliver the same – or better – support for latency-sensitive traffic like SIP, RTP, and firewall-protected services.

It starts with asking the right questions. ECG guides you through platform assessments focused on performance, cost, supportability, and long-term flexibility – so you don’t make the move blindly.
