“The real alternative is a trusted home, a trusted partner, not just a replacement,” says Roman Semionov, Sales Director at CaaB. “VMware’s model shifts have shattered trust, and MSPs are looking for stability.” In a new Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green speaks with Semionov about why CaaB is positioning itself as a partner-first cloud infrastructure provider at a time of massive turbulence in the virtualization market. With Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware leading to sharp cost hikes, licensing complexity, and a shrinking partner ecosystem, many MSPs are scrambling for alternatives. Semionov argues that this upheaval presents an opportunity: MSPs can now re-examine how they deliver cloud services and align with providers that prioritize transparency and predictability. CaaB offers infrastructure-as-a-service with industry-leading margins, white-label branding, and global reach. The platform emphasizes price visibility—partners know their monthly costs before deployment—plus free migrations, 24/7 live support, and regular hardware upgrades without hidden tiers. Semionov shares the story of a New Jersey-based MSP that faced a 600% cost increase under VMware. After migrating to CaaB, the company saved roughly $200,000 annually, allowing them to expand sales staff instead of cutting headcount. Looking ahead, Semionov predicts a shift toward hybrid strategies, reduced vendor lock-in, and growing ecosystems around alternative providers. “VMs are still around, but their dominance is broken,” he notes. “MSPs need a stable, predictable, partner-first option—and that’s where CaaB comes in.” To learn more, visit https://caab.cloud
