We built V2 Cloud as a VMware alternative for exactly this situation: no core minimums, no bundled products you don't need, and no multi-year lock-in. Deploy in under 20 minutes and pay only for the VM sized to your actual workload.

Better security. Better uptime. A price that makes sense

Broadcom closed the VMware Cloud Service Provider (VCSP) program and stopped renewing partner contracts after January 26, 2026. If that decision left your business without a platform, ours is open. 

V2 Cloud offers a fully-managed DaaS solution, allowing you to securely host and use desktops and applications in the Cloud. It’s ideal for MSPs, ISVs, SMBs, enterprises and anyone seeking a secure and reliable server, all on a user-friendly platform.

 

 

Quick Setup, Works on Any Device

We built V2 Cloud to deploy in under 20 minutes, not days or weeks. Your team logs in from Windows, Mac, Chromebook, or Linux, and the experience is identical no matter what they’re using.

 

 

Pricing Sized to What You Actually Use

We price per VM, matched to the workload running on it, not per seat. A team of ten sharing one VM pays for one VM. You choose the tier that fits, Basic through Power, and you’re never paying for capacity you don’t need.

 

 

Support From People Who Actually Answer

Our support team is available 24/7 by chat, email, or phone, included in every plan at no extra cost. No tiered contracts, no separate fee to reach a real person.

 

 

Why Look for a VMware Alternative?

Switching from VMware to a different cloud service can elevate business agility, trim expenses, and simplify operational workflows.

Alternative providers like V2 Cloud present more favorable pricing models, appealing to organizations aiming to fine-tune their IT spending.

 

  • Elevated Costs: VMware’s licensing, upkeep, and infrastructure outlays can substantially inflate financial plans.
  • Complex Management: The detailed setup and continuous management of VMware solutions require specific expertise and additional personnel.
  • User Adaptability: The potential steep learning curve or less user-friendly interface may hinder user acceptance and satisfaction levels.
  • Standardized Support: The broad-scale customer service typical of major vendors may lack the customization smaller businesses value.

 

 

What to Look For in a Virtualization Provider?

If VMware no longer fits how your business operates, there are a few things worth checking before you sign with your next provider.

Here’s what to look for:

  • Compatibility: Works across the operating systems, devices, and network setups your team already uses
  • Security and compliance:  Meets the security and compliance standards your industry actually requires
  • Pricing: Prices per workload or per resource used, not a flat per-seat fee that ignores how your team actually works
  • Easy setup: Deploys in minutes without specialized certifications or a lengthy configuration process
  • Support: Reachable when something breaks, not buried behind a tiered contract
