I first deployed ESX back in 2003 and from then on I was a huge fan of VMware. So, watching Broadcoms changes unfold is a little sad.

What i really wanted to ask is, for meduim to large enterprises that want on-prem infrastructures what are their options nowadays? I don't work in this area any more so I'm out of touch.

Linux KVM. I've used it on bare metal production servers for years.

Proxmox probably comes the closest, there's also...HyperV (gross)

My bet is Nutanix is going to grow a lot over the next few years.
