Any shop large enough that this is such a massive undertaking is large enough that the people who care about this aren’t the people making financial decisions.
The good news is this is horrendous for finance as well so unless you cut a deal for your licensing costs because you’re a titan, you’ll be switching.
Proxmox is not a complete replacement for VMware. Proxmox still does not have a distributed resource scheduler or distributed power management for it’s cluster which means the only time a VM will move between nodes is if a node goes down.
There’s no official support for VDI within proxmox and all the third party tools are janky at best, definitely not ready for enterprise level deployments.
Nvidia does not officially support vGPUs on proxmox. You can get it working but it’s definitely not something you’d want to run on production.
Proxmox is a decent option, or just use kvm provisioning directly with ansible.
So many companies can’t do this.
The staffing, the network and storage changes.
The suggestion to just use KVM and ansible is rather tone def.
Sounds like someone with limited experience in the industry, honestly.
