For years, organizations have been told that AWS or Azure are the only way forward in the cloud. But for many Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their customers, those hyperscale platforms create more problems than they solve—whether it’s miscommunication, support challenges, training requirements, runaway costs, or licensing shake-ups.
Egenera’s Xterity Cloud Services were designed to change that. With best-in-class performance, availability, and support, Xterity delivers a wholesale model that works for organizations whose business models don’t thrive in AWS or Azure.
Here’s how Xterity stands apart.
Speaking the Same Cloud Language
Cloud conversations often leave more confusion than clarity. A recent IT Pro article highlighted how jargon-heavy catalogs and vague terminology create costly risks—leading to misconfigurations, downtime, and security gaps.
Unlike hyperscalers, Xterity uses clear, plain-language terms. No need for a cloud dictionary. MSPs and customers can design, deploy, and manage services without wading through acronyms or hidden settings. This clarity reduces one of the biggest risks in cloud adoption: misunderstanding.
True Collaboration Without the Guesswork
Xterity brings MSPs and customers together in a shared platform with real-time visibility into configurations, monitoring, and events. Approval workflows ensure changes are never made in isolation, preventing mistakes before they happen.
The result? Fewer emergencies, less finger-pointing, and more time spent innovating.
Simplicity That Protects
Xterity’s drag-and-drop design tools make cloud services easy to build and understand. Everyone—from IT leaders to business stakeholders—can see how workloads are structured, reducing costly errors and downtime.
And with Tier 4 global datacenters, integrated backup and disaster recovery options, and policies that support compliance-heavy workloads such as GxP, GDPR, and HIPAA, simplicity never comes at the expense of performance.
Navigating the VMware Licensing Fallout
Broadcom’s overhaul of VMware licensing has left small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in a bind:
- Essentials Plus retired, forcing upgrades to pricier enterprise SKUs.
- Subscription-only, per-core minimums, making lean IT environments pay for unused capacity.
- Channel partner shake-ups, sidelining many trusted local providers.
- Cost hikes up to 15× in Europe, drawing regulatory scrutiny.
For SMBs already invested in VMware, the options look grim: pay more, lose support, or face costly migrations to AWS or Azure.
Xterity provides a smarter way forward:
- Same VMware Core – Run your workloads without retraining staff or rebuilding apps.
- Aggregated Resources – Pay only for what you use, with no forced minimums.
- White-Glove Support – Egenera provides 24/7/365 expert assistance, replacing lost SMB-focused partners.
- No Disruptive Migrations – Keep your VMware stack intact without the risks of hyperscaler moves.
Bottom line: Xterity is the practical, proven alternative to Broadcom’s licensing squeeze.
The Bottom Line
Cloud computing shouldn’t be confusing, risky, or unpredictable. Yet for too many businesses, AWS, Azure, or Broadcom’s VMware policies make it exactly that.
Xterity changes the equation. With:
- Clear language and collaboration tools to prevent miscommunication.
- A VMware-based architecture without licensing chaos.
- Enterprise-grade performance, Tier 4 datacenters, and backup/DR options.
- Policies that support compliance-heavy workloads like GxP, GDPR, and HIPAA.
For MSPs and the businesses they serve, Xterity delivers a wholesale cloud model that’s not just easier to use—it’s safer, more cost-effective, and more aligned with real-world needs.
