Migrate from VMware to Proxmox — safely, predictably, and with a real rollback plan.

If VMware licensing changes are forcing a rethink, we help you move production workloads from vSphere/ESXi to Proxmox VE with minimal disruption. Our approach is built for uptime: assessment → pilot → phased cutover → optimization.

Phased migration Minimal downtime Network mapping (VLANs) Storage options (ZFS/Ceph/NFS/SAN) HA design + validation
Outcome-focusedRestore, validate, and optimize—then document.
Engineer-ledNo handoffs to generic support tiers.
Risk-controlledRollback strategy and cutover runbook.

What this migration includes

  • Current-state assessment (hosts, clusters, storage, networking)
  • Architecture mapping (VMware → Proxmox HA, RBAC, backups)
  • Pilot migration (test workloads + performance validation)
  • Phased cutover aligned to maintenance windows
  • Network recreation (bridges, VLANs, MTU, routing)
  • Storage strategy (ZFS / Ceph / NFS / SAN / iSCSI)
  • Backup plan (PBS and restore testing)
  • Post-migration optimization (IO/CPU/network tuning)

Typical environments we migrate

  • Standalone ESXi hosts or multi-node vSphere clusters
  • Production workloads with VLANs, trunking, and multiple networks
  • Windows/Linux servers, databases, line-of-business apps
  • HA workloads that require predictable failover behavior

How we reduce downtime and risk

Phased cutover

We migrate in phases so production impact is controlled. Critical services move last after validation.

  • Workload grouping by dependency
  • Change windows + communications plan
  • Verification checklist after each wave

Rollback plan

Every cutover has a documented rollback path so you’re never “stuck” mid-migration.

  • Snapshot/backup checkpoints
  • Clear success criteria
  • Cutover runbook (step-by-step)

Why Proxmox is a strong VMware alternative

  • Clustering + live migration
  • High Availability (HA) management
  • Role-based access control
  • Strong API + automation
  • Ceph integration for distributed storage
  • ZFS-first approach for local storage
  • Proxmox Backup Server compatibility
  • Lower licensing complexity

What you get at the end

  • A working Proxmox environment with validated migrations
  • Updated network and storage documentation
  • A backup + restore plan you can trust
  • Operational recommendations (monitoring, upgrades, capacity)

Tip: If you include host count + VM count + storage type, we can estimate scope much faster.
