Cost‑conscious organisations and VMware migrations
VMware → Proxmox migration
Planned, phased, reversible
Since Broadcom acquired VMware, licences are sold only as subscriptions, and many organisations have seen costs rise. Proxmox VE is a proven open‑source alternative, and it includes an import wizard for moving virtual machines from VMware ESXi.
We handle the whole move — assessment, design, pilot, phased migration and hand‑over — so your services keep running and every step can be rolled back.
Yes. Proxmox VE is mature open‑source software built on proven technologies (KVM, LXC, Ceph, ZFS) with clustering and high availability. For production we recommend an enterprise subscription for the stable update repository and vendor support.
We already run VMware — do we have to move?
No. We support and optimise existing VMware environments, and can help you review subscription costs. If moving makes sense, we plan it in phases with no big‑bang risk.
How much downtime does a migration involve?
It depends on each VM’s size and role. We migrate in planned waves during agreed maintenance windows, pilot first, and keep a tested rollback for every wave.
Can you supply the servers and storage too?
Yes — through our Hardware Supply & Implementation service we supply, rack, cable and configure servers, storage and networking.
Do you also support Microsoft Hyper‑V?
Yes. We design, support and migrate Hyper‑V environments as well.
