The Problem

Broadcom Has Changed the Rules

Since the Broadcom acquisition, VMware has eliminated perpetual licenses, forced mandatory bundles, and raised prices by up to +1200%. Thousands of companies are trapped in a vendor lock-in with no way out... until now.

Real impact: Companies paying 50,000/year in VMware now face bills of 200,000-600,000/year. And it will only go up.

The Solution: Proxmox VE

Proxmox VE is the open-source enterprise virtualization platform that replaces VMware with zero compromises. KVM + LXC, native Ceph integration, HA cluster, live migration. We deploy Proxmox since 2015 — we are expert engineers, not theoretical consultants.

Result: -70% in license costs, zero vendor lock-in, 24/7 support included.

Methodology

Proven Migration Path

5 phases designed to ensure zero downtime and complete compatibility.

1

Audit

Complete inventory of your VMware environment: ESXi hosts, vCenter, datastores, networking, VM dependencies. We identify risks and incompatibilities before starting.

2

Design

Proxmox VE architecture tailored to your needs: HA cluster, Ceph storage, network (OVS/VLAN), backup strategy. Detailed migration plan with rollback.

3

Pilot

We migrate a subset of non-critical VMs to validate the process. Performance, networking, and application compatibility testing before the full migration.

4

Bulk Migration

Automated mass migration with VMDK-to-qcow2 conversion, network reconfiguration, and validation of each VM. Scheduled windows to minimize impact.

5

Optimization

Post-migration tuning: Ceph pool optimization, CPU pinning, NUMA, monitoring with Grafana/Prometheus. 24/7 support included.
