Performive (formerly Total Server Solutions) is an Atlanta-based cloud provider that deliberately targets the mid-market with VMware-based infrastructure. Its platform offerings are straightforward: multi-tenant VMware cloud for cost-efficient shared capacity, and dedicated private vSphere environments for customers needing isolation or custom configurations.
The commercial model bundles managed services, 24×7 support, security tooling, backup, and DR options, into the infrastructure price rather than itemizing each. Combined with a lean cost structure, Performive consistently produces some of the lowest VMware-cloud pricing in competitive bids we run, often landing well below Broadcom-direct renewal economics for comparable capacity (treat any specific percentage as estimate-only until quoted).
Because the platform is pure vSphere, migration mechanics are simple: replicate and cut over, keep your tooling, no hypervisor retraining. Performive's engineering teams are accustomed to mid-market environments, a few hosts to a few racks, and the company's white-glove migration assistance is a regular point of positive feedback.
The constraints are scale-related. Performive is not a national colo platform, does not offer the global delivery of a Rackspace, and very large or highly regulated enterprise estates may exhaust its sweet spot. For the 20–500 VM organization staring at a brutal renewal, though, it is one of the most efficient escapes available.
Broadcom's bundle minimums hit the mid-market hardest, and Performive is purpose-built for exactly that segment: vSphere environments small enough to be unprofitable for Broadcom's direct motion, but core to the businesses running them.
Its pricing posture also makes it valuable even when it does not win, a Performive bid in your stack of proposals reliably improves everyone else's final number.
The value bid. For mid-market vSphere estates, Performive routinely delivers the lowest credible "stay on VMware" number, always worth including, if only to discipline the rest of the shortlist.
