We are looking at redesigning our infrastructure for our cloud services (hosting, backup, DR) due to the broadcom purchase of VMware. We currently offer IaaS services built on Cisco UCS with VMware hypervisor and vCD. I'm wondering if anyone has found a hardware provider that offers a managed hardware solution that includes the hypervisor? Something similar to AWS outposts or Azure Stack (these 2 options don't meet all our requirements and can be pricey) where the vendor supplies the hardware, support, hypervisor support, and manages the capacity.
