TrueNAS® is the enterprise storage that works across VMware, Proxmox, XCP-ng, and Hyper-V — before, during, and after your migration. [Download the Migration Planning Guide](https://www.truenas.com/vmware-migration/#tn-lead) The forced migration 175–900% VMware price hikes documented in EU court filings — Tesco, CISPE members and more. 40,000 Server workloads Tesco is migrating off VMware, calling Broadcom's conduct "abusive". Terminated VMware's CSP partner program ended in Europe — partner counts collapsed to single digits. Withdrawn Support and security updates pulled from perpetual license holders who won't re-subscribe. The storage question ## Your hypervisor is changing. What happens to your storage? Many production environments tie storage directly to VMware — vSAN pools, VMFS datastores, proprietary adapters. When the hypervisor moves, that coupling becomes a liability: choose storage that only speaks one platform's language and you simply trade Broadcom's lock-in for someone else's, at exactly the wrong moment. The TrueNAS angle VMware Proxmox XCP-ng Hyper-V OpenShift ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NFS iSCSI SMB FC NVMe-oF ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TrueNAS — one storage platform, standard protocols The migration bridge STEP 01 ### Deploy alongside VMware Stand TrueNAS up next to your existing VMware storage over standard protocols — no rip-and-replace, no downtime to begin. STEP 02 ### Migrate VMs at your pace Move workloads to Proxmox, XCP-ng or Hyper-V while the storage layer stays stable and your data stays intact. STEP 03 ### Decommission VMware Retire VMware without touching storage. The platform that carried you through is the platform you keep running. Enterprise storage ### Consistent performance under load All-flash or hybrid, tuned to hold throughput as VM density climbs. ### Dual-controller HA Automated failover keeps datastores online — enterprise availability without vSAN. ### Immutable snapshots OpenZFS snapshots and self-healing guard against ransomware and silent corruption. ### Scale to 30+ PB One platform from lab to production — grow capacity without re-architecting. ### Predictable licensing Per-system pricing. No per-socket, per-VM, or capacity traps. ### EU sovereignty ready On-prem with customer-held keys. Built for NIS2, GDPR, and the Data Act. > "We bought an M40 for virtualization, using NFS with Red Hat. Later, we upgraded to XCP-ng and bought a couple more boxes. Now our security group and backup group are both deploying it." MW Mark Williams NIST 60%+ of the Fortune 500 run TrueNAS — with a 6–8 year average deployment lifecycle.
