VMware to Proxmox Migration
Broadcom Raised Your VMware Bill. We'll Move You Off It.
We migrate VMware ESXi and vSphere environments to Proxmox VE. You keep clustering, high availability, and backups, and stop paying per-core licensing.

Why Businesses Are Leaving VMware
Rising License Costs
Broadcom's changes moved VMware to per-core subscriptions, and many businesses saw their bills multiply.
Bundles You Don't Need
Standalone products were retired in favor of large bundles, so you pay for features you never use.
Uncertain Roadmap
Partner programs and free tiers were cut. Planning around VMware has become harder every year.
What You Keep, What You Lose
How It Works
Assess
We inventory your vSphere hosts, VMs, storage, and networking, then estimate your savings.
Pilot
We build your Proxmox cluster and move a test VM so you can see it working first.
Migrate
VMs move in stages, after hours, with a rollback plan at every step.
Support
We monitor, back up, and maintain the new cluster, or hand it to your team.
Common Questions
How much downtime should we expect?
Most VMs move with a short cutover window scheduled after hours. We plan each move with you ahead of time.
Will our Windows VMs work?
Yes. Windows Server and desktop VMs run well on Proxmox. We handle driver changes during the migration.
What about backups?
We set up Proxmox Backup Server with scheduled, deduplicated backups, so you are protected from day one.
Can we keep our existing hardware?
Usually, yes. Proxmox runs on most servers that run ESXi today. We confirm this during the assessment.
What does the assessment involve?
Send us your vSphere inventory and we'll tell you what the move involves and what it costs, with no obligation.
What happens if a migrated VM has a problem?
Each staged move includes a rollback plan. We agree the checks for the migrated VM and the conditions for returning to the source environment before its cutover. That makes validation part of the move, rather than leaving your team to discover problems after the old environment is retired.
What determines the migration cost and schedule?
The number and size of your VMs, storage layout, networking, guest operating systems, and available cutover windows affect the work. The assessment reviews your inventory so we can scope the migration instead of quoting from VM count alone.
Do we have to buy ongoing management after the migration?
No. We can monitor, back up, and maintain the new cluster, or hand it over to your team. Discuss which option you want during the assessment so the migration and any ongoing support can be scoped separately.
