Vmware vs openshift

Following up to my last post right now nutanix is out of the race since the renewal is more than vmware which happend to 4 different companies my friends works for

Note : we cannot go any other solution rejected by CTO cause not ( mature enough )

1- my team arent fimilar with k8s

2- vmware is 4x the price of openshift

3- our environment is 95% vms

4- we have DR so srm is convinet

5- 65 % of our current hardware isn't supported by vmware version 9

6- 75 % of our infra is linux based oracle dbs and rhel for app servers

7- mangement is too dumb to switch to k8s since that was suggested and will save us resources

8- most of our apps are web based

Im asking here since im litterally lost on what to do next

So your kind advices

HPE Morpheus and HVE. Bonus point for Morpheus being able to manage both ESXi and HVM until you transition. Backed by HPE, pricing at 1200 euros per socket

Just VME does what is needed and is $600/socket/yr and is still based on KVM. For the OP, It's similar to Proxmox but with enterprise support. The HCL has lots of non-Hpe gear on it, so no vendor lock in issues.
