Migrate from VMware to Proxmox — Without the Risk

As a certified Proxmox Partner, Wekos has the experience to migrate your VMware environment — at any scale — to Proxmox VE with full feature parity, maintained resilience, and a fraction of the licensing cost.

The VMware Landscape Has Changed

Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware fundamentally changed the economics of running a VMware hypervisor environment. Licensing costs have increased dramatically, perpetual licenses are gone, and many customers are being forced onto bundle subscriptions that include capabilities they don’t need at prices they didn’t budget for.

Proxmox VE is a mature, enterprise-grade open-source hypervisor platform that delivers the core capabilities VMware customers rely on — without the licensing overhead. For most organizations, the migration pays for itself within the first year.

Why Wekos for Your Migration

Certified Proxmox Partner

Wekos is an official Proxmox Partner — with the training, certification, and direct vendor relationship that ensures your migration is executed to the highest standard.

SMB to Enterprise Experience

We’ve managed and migrated VMware environments of every size — from a single host to enterprise deployments with hundreds of guests across multiple hypervisor instances.

Feature Parity Focus

We don’t just move VMs — we map your existing VMware feature set to Proxmox equivalents and validate parity before cutover.

Zero Surprise Approach

Every migration starts with a thorough assessment. We identify compatibility issues, storage requirements, network dependencies, and application sensitivities before we touch anything in production.

Cost Reduction Planning

We help you model the total cost of ownership comparison — VMware licensing vs. Proxmox support costs — so you have a clear financial case before committing.

Ceph Storage Integration

For customers who need enterprise-grade distributed storage, Wekos has deep Ceph expertise — deploying and managing Proxmox + Ceph clusters for high-availability shared storage.

How a Wekos Migration Works

Step 1 — Assessment

We audit your existing VMware environment — inventory all VMs, document dependencies, identify storage and network requirements, and flag any compatibility considerations before planning begins.

Step 2 — Architecture Design

We design your target Proxmox environment — node sizing, storage architecture (local, NFS, or Ceph), network configuration, HA setup, and backup integration — matched to your workload requirements.

Step 3 — Proxmox Deployment

We deploy and configure your Proxmox infrastructure in parallel with your existing VMware environment — no production risk during build-out.

Step 4 — Workload Migration

VMs are migrated in priority order using proven tooling — with validation at each step. Non-critical workloads migrate first, production systems last, with rollback capability maintained throughout.

Step 5 — Validation & Cutover

Full functional testing of all migrated workloads before cutover. Network, storage, application, and backup validation — then a coordinated cutover with minimal downtime.

Step 6 — Handoff & Documentation

Complete documentation of your new environment, runbooks for common operations, and ongoing managed services if desired.
