Rising costs, deeper vendor lock-in, and growing architectural complexity are forcing infrastructure teams to rethink what comes next.
Following Broadcom’s acquisition, perpetual licensing was eliminated in favor of expensive per-core subscriptions and mandatory solution bundles. As a result, renewal and operating costs for most enterprises are rising by multiples.
A highly closed proprietary technology stack and API ecosystem bind enterprise infrastructure deeply to a single platform. Organizations lose software-defined control and are left with limited autonomy over technology roadmaps and supply-chain security.
Decades of accumulated features have made the underlying architecture increasingly heavy, with persistent CPU and memory overhead in the virtualization layer. Complex advanced feature suites also increase training demands and make routine troubleshooting more difficult.
ZSvirt combines broad hardware compatibility, non-disruptive upgrades, unified operations, and high-performance virtualization—delivering the capabilities enterprises need to move beyond VMware with confidence.
Broad server compatibility, mixed-generation CPU clusters, multi-vendor hardware reuse, and SAN storage support.
Online cross-version hot upgrades and staged rollouts keep workloads reliable throughout the upgrade.
Manage virtual machines and bare metal together, create VMs in batches, and operate resources from one UI without out-of-band tools.
Compute overhead stays below 1%, unlocking the full performance of every CPU core. A single server delivers 1M+ IOPS with microsecond-level latency (<200 μs), easily handling mission-critical, high-concurrency workloads.

Nanjing Metro moved train scheduling, signal control, and other core systems to ZStack ZSphere, increasing resource utilization by 30% with 99.99% availability.
View full storyZSvirt covers compute virtualization, distributed storage integrations, virtual networking, snapshots, cloning, and high availability for mainstream production scenarios. Advanced multi-cluster and compliance capabilities are available in ZSvirt Enterprise.
No. ZSvirt supports VMDK and incremental migration, so VM configuration and applications do not need to be rebuilt.
Incremental sync and planned cutover can reduce downtime to minutes. The exact window depends on workload behavior, change rate, and validation requirements.
Teams can evaluate and run the open-source release with community support. ZSvirt Enterprise adds LTS releases, SLAs, and vendor-backed production support.
ZSvirt Open Source is free for the community. ZSvirt Enterprise adds enhanced capabilities and production-grade services on the same technology foundation.
Mainstream x86 servers and major Windows and Linux guest operating systems are supported. Validate against the official compatibility list before production deployment.
