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.
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)
