Choose yourhypervisor.
With SynetoOS 6 you have the freedom to choose: stay on the market standard VMware vSphere, or adopt the native alternative Syneto Hyperion, our integrated hypervisor based on KVM technology.
One platform, two paths, zero learning curve.
The choice is yours.
SynetoOS 6 is the European hyper-converged operating system that lets you choose the hypervisor best suited to your business, with no lock-in and no compromises.
VMware vSphere
The reference enterprise hypervisor, fully supported on SynetoOS 6.
For those who need continuity with existing VMware environments, protection of critical workloads or extended protection across hybrid scenarios.
- Native support for ESXi, and vCenter with unified management
- Upgrading toSynetoOSs 6 from earlier versions without migrating the
- Echo Protect: Extends protection and disaster recovery to external hosts and thESXi
- Full preservation of installations and configurations VMware
- A low-risk transition path to Hyperion whenever you're ready
Syneto Hyperion
The first European hypervisor, integrated in OS6, built on KVM technology.
For those seeking extreme NVMe performance, technological sovereignty, lower TCO and independence from VMware licensing swings — without sacrificing enterprise features.
- Up to 70x more read IOPS and 6x more write IOPS compared to theVMware*
- Bare metal installation
- Same UX as VMware: no training required for your team
- Direct Storage Access with native NVMe optimization
- European technological sovereignty, independence from licensing
* Internal tests on identical hardware with Hyperion.
Choose your path. Keep the same experience.
One single interface.
Both hypervisors.
In SynetoOS 6, Hyperion and vSphere are treated as first-class citizens. VM management, Data Protection, Disaster Recovery and monitoring work the same way across both hypervisors.
Keep using the same workflows, the same concepts, the same UX. Users just see a working hypervisor — Syneto handles everything underneath.
Multi-hypervisor continuity
Manage VM on VMware and Hyperion from the same console, with replica bidirezionale cross-hypervisor.
Cross-format conversion
Convert VMware VMs to Hyperion format directly from the UI, with Recovery Point import.
Data Protection identica
Immutable Recovery Points, Logical Air-Gap, and Smart Incremental Replication work identically on both.
Syneto Hyperion.
We chose KVM as the foundation — the same industrial technology powering the largest public clouds — and used it to build the first European hypervisor, fully integrated into SynetoOS 6.
Performance
At parity of hardware, Hyperion runs 3–5 times faster than vSphere.
Protect
Data Protection, Disaster Recovery, Immutable Recovery Points, Logical Air-Gap, Secure Cyber Recovery Sandbox integrated.
Simplify
Easy to use, single GUI, 1-click management.
EU sovereignty
Syneto ensures data sovereignty by keeping it on-premise under client control, in line with GDPR and European data residency and information protection requirements.
NVMe-first
SyFS filesystem optimized for NVMe: automatic detection and optimized writes to eliminate the classic bottlenecks of HDDs.
Recovery Point external
Full automation of KVM external Recovery Points (technology Syneto contributed to): zero downtime, independent delta files, raw or qcow2 format, maximum flexibility.
Transition low-risk.
No final choice on the first click. Start with what you know, introduce Hyperion at your own pace, convert VMs when you are ready.
Parti with VMware
Already have vSphere? Upgrade from OS5 to OS6 for free: one reboot, all settings preserved.
Try Hyperion
Activate a nested Hyperion on a VMware host for test and development, with no dedicated hardware.
Migrate workload
Importa VM VMware in formato Hyperion from the same UI. Cold migration with downtime minimo.
Live Migration
Coming soon: live migration without shared storage, to move VMs between nodes transparently.
vSphere and Hyperion, side by side
Same VMs, same identities, two consoles — fully synchronized. Migrate at your own pace, with no vendor lock-in and no downtime.
