Anyone know any?

We're running a mid sized VMWare cluster at work and it's EOL next year.
The original plan was to simply replace it in situ - but for various 
reasons that option may be untenable.

I'm trying to get my head around external hosting (of >160 Debian VMs to 
claim on-topic) - but so far my limited enquiries have concluded that 
cloud hosting will cost us about 5-7 times what it costs to buy and 
house our own hardware and VMWare licenses, including backup/DR.

(Who said outsourcing saves money?)

I have tried and failed to find a very general VM/cloud forum/group 
covering the UK and/or the EU to bat some ideas around and I suspect 
this is not the place to get specific. Does not have to be VMWare centric...

If anyone has any leads I would be very grateful :)

Cheers!

Tim
