Built by engineers who felt the pain.

We'd spent our careers building on VMware. We knew it inside out, the architecture, the tooling, the ecosystem. We'd built vSphere environments for banks, hospitals, governments, and enterprises of every size.

Then Broadcom bought VMware. Overnight, the licensing model changed beyond recognition. Customers we had helped for years were facing fourfold cost increases. The relationship between vendor and customer fundamentally broke down.

We looked at the alternatives. While options like Proxmox seemed appealing at first glance, our customers, mid-market IT teams, infrastructure managers, operations people, needed something that felt familiar, provided an easy migration pathway, and came with the support and documentation they expected from an enterprise platform.

So we built it. Netframe is what we would have wanted as VMware customers. Honest, capable, well-documented, well-supported virtualisation. Built on proven KVM, priced fairly and proudly made in Melbourne.
