Do you work in Bilbao if you are in Catalonia?

Yes. The Proxmox migration is executed remotely end to end —audit, conversion and validation— and that is how we work with clients across Spain. When the project needs presence at the data centre it is planned in advance; we are 429 km away and it is agreed in writing.

How much does leaving VMware save in a Bilbao environment?

The licensing saving is the most noticeable one: Proxmox VE is open source, with no per-socket cost or mandatory bundles, and reported reductions of up to 70%. We calculate the figure against your actual Broadcom contract, not a brochure.

Does Proxmox replace vSAN?

Yes. Proxmox integrates Ceph, distributed storage with triple replication equivalent to vSAN and designed to scale horizontally. It is the foundation of our own infrastructure, so we size it for your environment with first-hand judgement.

The VMware Problem

Broadcom has increased VMware costs by up to 1,200%

Since Broadcom's 2023 acquisition, thousands of companies in Spain face brutal licensing increases. Perpetual licenses are gone. Mandatory bundles inflate the bill. In Bilbao, companies are already migrating.

4 Do you have local teams in Bilbao?

✓

We serve Bilbao remotely 24/7 from our operations centre in Catalonia (Sant Fruitós de Bages); for on-site work we travel as agreed. We do not fake a local branch.

Bilbao concentrates the industry and steel sector of Greater Bilbao, the port, and an engineering and banking fabric with high continuity requirements, and with it one of the largest pools of VMware environments in its region. Broadcom's licensing increase since 2023 has turned a cost that used to be a budget line into a board-level problem: when vSphere maintenance multiplies, migrating to Proxmox stops being a technical option and becomes a financial decision.

Our base is in Sant Fruitós de Bages (Catalonia), 429 km away. We do not fake a branch office in Bilbao: we run the Proxmox migration remotely from our operations centre, which is exactly how a proper migration is executed today —automated conversion, pilot validation and zero data loss—. On-site presence, when the project needs it, is planned and agreed in writing.

VMware to Proxmox migration in Bilbao: how we run it

We inventory your estate, script the VMDK→QCOW2 conversion and migrate in batches during maintenance windows, starting with a pilot of non-critical machines. At 429 km we work the way we always do: automating, without depending on anyone running down a corridor. For Bilbao workloads that is an advantage, not a shortcoming.

We deploy Proxmox VE with triple-replica Ceph —the same storage that runs our own production platform— and validate before touching production. What you hire is engineering that has been deploying Proxmox since 2015, with managed 24/7 support from Catalonia and a rollback plan in case something does not fit.

Before the final cutover we document the full runbook —what is migrated, in what order and how to roll back— and review it with you. The migration ends when your team can operate Proxmox without us beside them, not when the last machine boots.
