Migrate from VMware to Proxmox VE without surprises
We audit your current infrastructure, propose a tailored architecture and carry out the migration with minimal impact on production.
Services
We support the whole migration process, from the first analysis through to support once the platform is in production.
Audit and sizing
We analyze your current VMware environment (inventory, real CPU/RAM/storage usage) and deliver a tailored Proxmox architecture proposal: nodes, Ceph distributed storage, networking and backup.
Proof of concept (POC)
We validate the solution in a reduced environment before you commit to the full migration, so the decision is made on real data and without risk.
VMware → Proxmox VE migration
We plan and carry out the migration of your virtual machines in phases, minimizing downtime and with a rollback plan for every batch.
Post-migration support
High-availability tuning, backups with Proxmox Backup Server, and hands-on support for your internal team after the migration.
Every project is different: tell us about your case and we'll prepare a proposal tailored to your environment.
About us
We are a team of engineers passionate about infrastructure and virtualization, with hands-on experience running critical, large-scale environments at top-tier companies. We've lived first-hand the challenges of operating and evolving demanding infrastructure, and we put that knowledge at the service of other companies and technical teams.
We believe migrating from VMware to Proxmox VE doesn't have to be a leap into the unknown: with the right analysis and the right experience, it's an opportunity to modernize infrastructure, cut costs and gain technological independence without sacrificing reliability. Our goal is to share that experience so your team can make the move with the same confidence we'd have with our own infrastructure.
Automated calculation and migration tools
We size and migrate every project with our own tools that automate much of the process: they analyze your VMware inventory (RVTools export), calculate the recommended Proxmox architecture, detect compatibility risks and estimate the savings versus your current VMware cost. Their advantages over manual sizing: less analysis time, less room for human error, and figures calculated from your actual environment, not rough guesses.
Automatic source vs. proposal comparison
Number of nodes, cores, RAM and storage: source and target calculated and compared instantly.
Automatic risk detection
Pending snapshots, RDM disks and unsupported operating systems, detected before you migrate.
Recommended network diagram
Segmentation into management, Corosync, migration, VM and Ceph networks, with LACP and MTU calculated for your cluster.
Real case: audit of 450+ VMs across 5 clusters
Inventory audited, compatibility risks and networks automatically detected in a real production environment (client data anonymized).
Real case: project configuration
Overcommit, growth margins and node profile adjusted to the actual load detected in the client's environment.
Real case: architecture proposal
Source/target comparison, proposal summary and source physical hosts, calculated from the client's real inventory.
Real case: network and estimated savings
Recommended network diagram (LACP, Ceph, Corosync) and estimated savings versus current VMware cost, for the same real project.
Why Proxmox VE
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, many companies have seen their license costs rise and their support contract terms change. Proxmox VE is today the mature alternative to stop depending on those decisions.
No license cost
Proxmox VE is free software: you eliminate the recurring cost of virtualization licenses (and Broadcom/VMware's price increases), with optional enterprise support if you need it.
No vendor lock-in
Full control over your infrastructure, without depending on the business decisions of a single vendor.
Real high availability
Clustering, quorum and hyper-converged distributed storage with Ceph for critical workloads, with the same robustness as commercial platforms.
Built-in backups
Proxmox Backup Server offers efficient incremental backups and proven restores, without needing third-party licenses.
How we work
- Initial analysis. We collect the inventory of your current VMware environment (RVTools export) and study real CPU, RAM and storage usage.
- Architecture proposal. We design the recommended Proxmox cluster: nodes, Ceph, networking and backup needs, adapted to your real workload and budget.
- Proof of concept (optional). We validate the proposal in a reduced environment before committing to the full migration.
- Phased migration. We migrate the VMs in planned batches, with agreed maintenance windows and a rollback plan.
- Post-migration support. We fine-tune HA and backups, and support your team in the day-to-day operation of the new platform.
Frequently asked questions
Why migrate from VMware to Proxmox VE now?
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, many companies have seen their license costs rise and their support contract terms change. Proxmox VE offers a mature, license-free alternative with the reliability needed for production.
Is Proxmox VE reliable enough for production?
Yes. Proxmox VE supports high-availability clustering, quorum via Corosync and hyper-converged distributed storage with Ceph, with the same robustness as commercial platforms. Optional enterprise support is also available if you need it.
How long does a migration project take?
It depends on the size of the environment, but the process is split into phases (audit, architecture proposal, optional POC, phased migration) that let you move forward in a controlled way and adjust the pace to your availability.
Is there downtime during the migration?
We plan the migration in batches with maintenance windows agreed with you, minimizing the impact on production and with a rollback plan ready at every phase.
What happens to my data during the process?
Backups are taken before each migration phase, and no batch is considered closed until we validate that the services are working correctly on the new platform.
