XCP-NG can handle 4,000 VM's. It does have Enterprise scalability.
Watch a YT guy LawrenceSystems that turns out his business does backups for Netflix (was just authorized to say a few months ago). He puts $15,000 to $100,000 + servers together, talks Linux, TrueNAS (within XCP-NP), hacking, home automation and even Mini PC's. I've been watching long videos on XCP-NG and Proxmox for over a year and taken a few notes on Proxmox. XCP-NG is used by numerous companies in the Fortune 100. Used VMWare in the past (was great) but intrigued by how good Proxmox is for the Homelab or small business. XCP-NG is ready for primetime for big business.
It just really, really sucks that Broadcom didn't give people enough time to research to switch before the major up to 10x increase in some cases and getting rid of 52 (last I heard) SKU's.
However, we know that's what they wanted, put a g to people's head since some people can not switch that fast; banks, health care systems...
The CEO will make a lot of money while Broadcom as a company will suffer greatly if they don't change this within two years. 7 to 15 years it will severely impact their employees and the CEO and the people that joined him will be doing great but Broadcom will have lost Billions !!
XCP-NG made a migration tool for VMWare to make it seamless and they also have a way to test that it worked. Have to watch and rewatch and read up on that one though.
XCP-NG also allows Live VM migration while latest Proxmox does not. I'm sure in about 1 to 1.5 years or so they will, mainly because of all the VMWare people leaving.
I heard they make 90% of their money from very, very big companies. They don't even care about smaller companies. So if a few companies of 5k employees jumps ship then they'll be ok because the makup is so high. However, if a lot of them do, well that's another story. AHols either way. I'm trying not to purchase anything with any Broadcom chips in it if I can help it, anything.
