Open Source Virtualization, without the vendor lock-in

Broadcom's takeover of VMware changed the economics of virtualization overnight; license costs up by 150% to over 1,000% for many organisations, perpetual licenses gone, minimum core counts tripled. For a lot of IT teams, the question isn't whether to look at alternatives anymore, it's when.

At Kangaroot, we help you make that move on your own terms. Whether you're running a compact lab setup or a sprawling data center, we design & manage the open source virtualization platform that actually fits your use case, not a one-size-fits-all replacement.

Three routes, one goal: no lock-in

Every platform has trade-offs; licensing model, learning curve, support, integration needs. We help you weigh them against your actual environment, then run day-to-day operations for you: patching, monitoring, backups & 24/7 support, for a fixed monthly fee through Kangarun.
  • Proxmox

    Proxmox VE

    Proxmox VE, for small to mid-sized environments that need robust, out-of-the-box VM management; KVM-based virtual machines & LXC containers, built-in backups, HA clustering. The fastest path off VMware with minimal ramp-up.

  • Kubevirt

    Kubernetes + KubeVirt

    Kubernetes + KubeVirt, for teams already on Kubernetes or OpenShift who want to unify container & VM infrastructure. Available via Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization or SUSE Harvester.

  • OpenStack

    OpenStack

    OpenStack, for enterprises that need true multi-tenant IaaS at scale; battle-tested by major cloud providers & telcos, with a higher setup investment to match.
