Netframe
by NeonDynamics

Built by engineers who felt the pain.

Neon Dynamics is an Australian software company founded by two virtualisation veterans with a combined 35+ years of experience designing and managing VMware environments.

Why we built Netframe

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'd helped for years were facing fourfold cost increases. Support tiers were stripped. The relationship between vendor and customer fundamentally broke down.

We looked at the alternatives. Proxmox is excellent for the technically adventurous, but our customers, mid-market IT teams, infrastructure managers, operations people, needed something that felt familiar, was production-ready out of the box, 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. Made in Melbourne.
