Our Comprehensive Migration Process
Environment Assessment
We start by auditing your existing VMware environment, capturing virtual machines, resource usage, network topology, and storage architecture. This gives us a clear technical baseline to design a smooth Proxmox migration tailored to your infrastructure.
Migration Blueprint
We create a detailed migration plan tailored to your environment, defining the order of workload transitions, networking changes, storage considerations, and rollback strategies. This blueprint ensures your move from VMware to Proxmox is predictable, efficient, and low-risk.
Testing Before Execution
Before touching production, we build a sandbox environment to simulate your VMware to Proxmox migration. Trial migrations are run to validate workload compatibility, performance, and networking, ensuring everything works as expected before the real cutover.
Data Migration
We use reliable, industry-standard tools to migrate your virtual machines, storage volumes, and configuration settings from VMware to Proxmox. Our process is designed to handle format conversions smoothly, minimising downtime and ensuring a clean transfer of workloads.
Validation and Handover
After the migration, we validate that all workloads, applications, and network services are running correctly in your new Proxmox environment. Once confirmed, we deliver a structured handover complete with documentation, knowledge transfer, and optional training to get your team confidently up to speed.
