Proxmox Administration

The VMware-to-Proxmox Migration

Move your VMware ESXi or vSphere VMs to Proxmox — configurations preserved, a parallel-run period, and a tested rollback plan — priced by VM count.

We migrate your existing VMs from VMware ESXi or vSphere to Proxmox using Proxmox's native VMware import tooling, preserving VM configuration — CPU, memory, disk, network mapping — as closely as the two platforms allow. A parallel-run period lets both environments coexist while you confirm the migrated VMs behave correctly under real traffic, and a tested rollback plan is prepared before cutover in case something needs to revert. This engagement is tiered by VM count — under 10 VMs, under 30, or a custom quote for larger environments — since effort scales directly with how many VMs are moving and how complex their configurations are. Broadcom's VMware licensing changes have pushed a lot of businesses to look at alternatives, and Proxmox is a mature, no-license-fee landing spot for that move; this is the migration itself, not an evaluation of whether to move. If your source environment is Hyper-V rather than VMware, the equivalent service — The Hyper-V-to-Proxmox Migration — uses different tooling, since the source platforms don't share an import path.

FAQ

How fast is delivery?: Standard delivery is within 300 weekday hours (≈ 19 working days). Express delivery — within 180 weekday hours (≈ 12 working days) — costs 25% more.
How does VM count affect pricing?: This is tiered: under 10 VMs, under 30 VMs, or a custom quote above that. The quoted hours here reflect a typical engagement in that range — an exact count is confirmed before scope is finalized.
What if the import tool doesn't handle our VM configuration cleanly?: Some configurations import cleaner than others. Anything the automated tool can't carry over is rebuilt manually as part of the migration, which is factored into scoping once we've seen your environment.
Is this the same as the Hyper-V migration service?: No — different source platform, different import tooling (VMware's native export path versus Hyper-V's qemu-img conversion). Each is its own service.
