Frequently Asked Questions
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, licensing and support costs have skyrocketed (sometimes 2x–20x). Many customers are being pushed into expensive bundles or left without support options altogether. ReluTech offers a flexible, cost-effective alternative that supports the VMware you already own, without forcing disruptive upgrades.
No. ReluTech's VMware support only covers perpetual licenses, the VMware licenses you already own.
ReluTech provides support for the hypervisor layer and core VMware components, including:
- ESXi
- vCenter
- vMotion
- vSAN (when paired with supported hardware)
We're focused on stability and troubleshooting for core VMware workloads. We do not support:
- Tanzu / Kubernetes environments
- NSX (network virtualization)
- Aria (formerly vRealize Suite)
- Patch delivery, firmware updates, or license resale
Our support model offers several key advantages:
- Direct-to-expert model: You work with U.S.-based Level 3/4 engineers, not offshore call centers.
- Flexible contracts: Choose from 3-month to multi-year terms.
- 24x7x365 coverage: Global support in all time zones.
- No license pressure: We support what you already own, with no forced bundles or upsells.
Our VMware support is ideal if you:
- Run a stable VMware environment and don't need the latest bundles.
- Want to avoid disruptive and costly upgrades.
- Are planning a migration away from VMware (to AWS, Nutanix, Proxmox, etc.) but need coverage during the transition.
We keep it simple:
- Support is quoted per host (not per VM or per core).
- We typically review your RVTools export to understand your environment (vHost and vLicense tabs are key).
- Contracts are customized to your needs, short-term bridge support or multi-year stability.
