Thinware vOpsCentral

Technology Preview · Coming soon

One console. Every hypervisor. No vCenter required.

vOpsCentral manages VMware ESXi, Proxmox VE, KVM, XCP‑ng, Hyper‑V, and SimpleVM from a single fast web console — agentless, direct to each host's native API. It even converts and migrates VMs between hypervisors from the UI. Nothing mainstream does that.

Your estate went multi‑hypervisor. Your management didn't. ESXi still humming, Proxmox arriving, KVM in the corner — and a different console for each.

It's time they shared one.

The idea

Six platforms. One pane of glass.
Managed direct — no middleman.

No vCenter for ESXi. No SCVMM for Hyper-V. No cluster requirement for anything. Each host is managed over its own native API, and everything converges into a single fast console.

Leaving VMware?

Take the single pane of glass with you.

You didn't love the licensing, but you'll miss vCenter. You don't have to. vOpsCentral manages your remaining standalone ESXi hosts directly — no vCenter, no appliance to babysit, no certificate-expiry time bombs — right alongside the KVM, Proxmox, or XCP-ng hosts you're moving to.

And when it's time to move the workloads themselves: convert & migrate VMs off ESXi from the management UI — VMDK to qcow2 or VHDX, handled by virt-v2v and qemu-img, with the real disk-format story shown on every migration dialog. One console before, during, and after the exodus.

Never had vCenter budget?

vCenter-class ops for the stack you already run.

Datacenters, fleet-wide search, live charts, snapshots, maintenance-mode evacuation, workload-balancing recommendations — for KVM, Proxmox VE, and XCP-ng. The tooling you've been told requires an enterprise suite, on the hypervisors that don't have one.

The headliner: clusterless live migration. Live migration on plain KVM hosts normally fails until you've hand-wired SSH trust, firewall and QEMU migration ports, CPU baselines, and bridge parity. vOpsCentral's wizard orchestrates all of it and verifies readiness. Two plain KVM boxes, live-migration-ready in a wizard — not a 20-step guide.

Why it's different

Built on principles, not promises.

01Cross-hypervisor migration

Convert & migrate VMs between any of the six platforms from the UI — accurate disk-format handling (VMDK / qcow2 / VHDX / VHD), honest about what each move involves. No mainstream console ships this.

02Clusterless live migration

A guided wizard configures host clustering for you — SSH trust, migration ports, CPU-baseline checks, readiness verification — then live migration just works. Manager-free. Cluster-stack-free.

03An honest UI

Standalone ESXi can't vMotion. Single-node Proxmox can't live-migrate. vOpsCentral says so — and never offers an operation that would fail. Recommendations only ever suggest genuinely zero-downtime moves.

04Agentless & direct

Every host managed over its own native API — libvirt, ESXi host SDK, WinRM, Proxmox REST, XAPI. No agents to deploy, no per-platform manager, no appliance sprawl.

05Fast, like tools should be

Sub-second navigation, a command palette that finds any VM, host, or action in two keystrokes, dense information design. The anti-thesis of the vSphere client.

06API-first

Every dialog shows the equivalent REST call — "Copy as curl" built into the product. If the UI can do it, your automation can too.

Honest capabilities

Six platforms. Zero pretending.

What each platform can do is stated plainly — in the product and here.

Platform Managed via Manager-free live migration
SVM SimpleVM (Thinware's own KVM hypervisor) libvirt over SSH / TLS Yes — shares a migration pool with KVM
KVM KVM / libvirt libvirt — qemu+ssh:// or TLS Yes — clustering orchestrated by the wizard
ESXi VMware ESXi (standalone) Host SDK, port 443 — no vCenter Cold only — vMotion requires vCenter, and we say so
HV Microsoft Hyper-V WinRM / PowerShell Shared-nothing (needs AD / Kerberos)
PVE Proxmox VE REST API, port 8006 Cold only when standalone — live needs a PVE cluster
XCP XCP-ng XAPI, port 443 Yes — XenMotion

Cross-platform convert & migrate works any-to-any for powered-off VMs — across all six.

No screenshots. No gated PDF.

The demo is the product.

A complete simulated fleet runs in your browser — live telemetry every two seconds, real task engine, alarms with hysteresis, every operation enabled. Pick a fleet and go exploring.

Launch the demo

While you're in there: somewhere in the fleet a datastore is running hot, a VM is carrying month-old snapshots, and one host is overloaded enough that Optimization has an opinion about it. See if you can find all three.

vopscentral.com is where the rest arrives.

Ships as a virtual appliance. Part of the Thinware family alongside the SimpleVM hypervisor — with the new vBackup, vMigration, and vRecovery on the horizon. Until launch, the demo is open.
