Solanica / OpenEverest × VMware by Broadcom

Run OpenEverest on VMware
vSphere Kubernetes Service

Turn your existing VMware infrastructure into a cloud-native database platform. Officially tested and partnered with Broadcom.

Validated with Broadcom's Strategic Partnership Team Runs on vSphere 8 + TKG / VKS
The short version

Why This Matters for VMware Shops

You have a massive vSphere footprint. You want cloud-like database automation without migrating to AWS or GCP. OpenEverest is the bridge.

Keep Your Hardware, Get Cloud UX

Deploy, scale, and manage PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MongoDB natively on vSphere. No infrastructure migration. No new hardware. Just install on your existing TKG clusters and go.

Zero Lock-in

It's Kubernetes. It runs on vSphere today, and it can run on EKS, GKE, AKS, or bare metal tomorrow. Your database configurations, backup policies, and operational runbooks come with you.

Proven Compatibility

Validated directly with Broadcom's strategic partnership team. Not "should work" — actually tested on vSphere 8, TKG, and VKS. No guessing games about support matrices.

How it works

Architecture on vSphere

OpenEverest sits on top of vSphere Kubernetes Service. Your existing infrastructure stays exactly where it is.
