Syneto OS · Hypervisor

VMware or Hyperion.
Same SynetoOS.

Hyperion (KVM) and VMware ESXi coexist on the same hardware. Migrate one workload at a time and complete the transition risk-free with maximum flexibility.

Two synchronized copies, always

Choose your hypervisor — you won't regret it

01

Hyperion — KVM native

Proprietary hypervisor built on KVM. CPU passthrough for bare-metal performance, minimal footprint, no per-VM licensing costs.

02

VMware ESXi compatible

It works seamlessly with your existing ESXi cluster. Storage, snapshots, replication, and disaster recovery are all managed through the same SynetoOS interface.

03

Total coexistence

Run both Hyperion and ESXi on the same cluster. Move workloads from one to the other without rewriting automations or policies.

KVM pipeline from kernel to VM

Hyperion KVM stack — from silicon to VM

Three tiers — bare-metal hardware, Hyperion KVM kernel, Linux and Windows VM cluster — orchestrated as a single linear stack.

02Native resilience

One-click recovery — on any hypervisor

Compromised VM? Instant roll-back to an immutable snapshot. Hyperion or ESXi — the same Recovery Point Library, the same policy, the same click.

  • Sub-60-second RTO even for 1 TB VMs
  • Granular restore: file, application or entire VM
  • Isolated sandbox to validate before production

Use cases

Four ways to bring Hyperion into your company

Your existing ESXi cluster

Keep VMware as the primary hypervisor and add SynetoOS for storage, protection and DR. No forced migration.

New deployment greenfield

Start with Hyperion KVM native: zero costi of licenza, performance bare-metal, console single for all.

Gradual migration from ESXi to Hyperion

Move non-critical workloads to Hyperion while keeping mission-critical ones on ESXi. You can keep them both as long as you like.

Branch office / edge

Hyperion is ideal for remote sites on a tight budget: no per-VM subscription, centralized management from HQ.
