But for many Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and their customers, those hyperscale platforms create more problems than they solve\u2014whether it\u2019s miscommunication, support challenges, training requirements, runaway costs, or licensing shake-ups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Egenera\u2019s 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\u2019t thrive in AWS or Azure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s how Xterity stands apart.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Speaking the Same Cloud Language<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud conversations often leave more confusion than clarity. A recent IT Pro article highlighted how jargon-heavy catalogs and vague terminology create costly risks\u2014leading to misconfigurations, downtime, and security gaps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>True Collaboration Without the Guesswork<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result? Fewer emergencies, less finger-pointing, and more time spent innovating.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Simplicity That Protects<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xterity\u2019s drag-and-drop design tools make cloud services easy to build and understand. Everyone\u2014from IT leaders to business stakeholders\u2014can see how workloads are structured, reducing costly errors and downtime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And with <\/span><b>Tier 4 global datacenters, integrated backup and disaster recovery options, and policies that support compliance-heavy workloads such as GxP, GDPR, and HIPAA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, simplicity never comes at the expense of performance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Navigating the VMware Licensing Fallout<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Broadcom\u2019s overhaul of VMware licensing has left small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) in a bind:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Essentials Plus retired, forcing upgrades to pricier enterprise SKUs.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subscription-only, per-core minimums, making lean IT environments pay for unused capacity.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Channel partner shake-ups, sidelining many trusted local providers.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cost hikes up to 15\u00d7 in Europe, drawing regulatory scrutiny.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For SMBs already invested in VMware, the options look grim: pay more, lose support, or face costly migrations to AWS or Azure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Xterity provides a smarter way forward:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Same VMware Core<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Run your workloads without retraining staff or rebuilding apps.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Aggregated Resources<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Pay only for what you use, with no forced minimums.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>White-Glove Support<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Egenera provides 24\/7\/365 expert assistance, replacing lost SMB-focused partners.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>No Disruptive Migrations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Keep your VMware stack intact without the risks of hyperscaler moves.<\/span>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Bottom line:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Xterity is the practical, proven alternative to Broadcom\u2019s licensing squeeze.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Bottom Line<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cloud computing shouldn\u2019t be confusing, risky, or unpredictable.
