Proxmox and VMware virtualization
Virtualization lets one well-built server run several independent systems — your ERP, file server, domain controller and utility servers — each in its own virtual machine or container. That means fewer boxes to maintain, and far easier backup, restore and hardware replacement.
What it is
We design, build and migrate virtual environments on Proxmox VE and VMware, with storage and backup planned from the start.
Problems this solves
- Several ageing physical servers, each doing one job
- VMware licensing has become a concern and you want an alternative
- Restoring a failed server would take days
- Hardware replacement means reinstalling everything from scratch
- Server resources are wasted on some machines and exhausted on others
What we provide
- Proxmox VE design and deployment, single node or clustered
- VMware-to-Proxmox migration planning and execution
- Physical-to-virtual (P2V) conversion of existing servers
- Linux VMs and LXC containers for lightweight services
- Storage for VMs on OpenZFS or NAS
- CPU, RAM and storage resource planning
- Backup of VMs with Proxmox Backup Server
- Ongoing management of the virtual environment

A typical requirement
A manufacturer running ERP, a file server and a licence server on three old machines, consolidated onto one Proxmox host with VM backups.
A business on VMware looking for a supported move to Proxmox VE.
Common questions
What is Proxmox VE?
Proxmox VE is an open-source platform for running virtual machines and containers. It includes web management, clustering and backup integration.
Can our existing Windows servers be moved to Proxmox?
In most cases, yes — either converted from physical machines or migrated from VMware. We check compatibility and plan downtime before we start.
Does virtualization make backup easier?
Yes. Entire virtual machines can be backed up and restored as a unit, which makes recovery much more predictable.
