Plan your VMware migration with Nexus and get a clear path to reduce cost, risk, and disruptions.
Why businesses choose our migration services:
With rising licensing costs, changing vendor terms, and increasing demand for flexibility, many businesses are exploring a VMware exit strategy. Whether you’re moving to open-source platforms or modernising your infrastructure, a well-planned VMware migration is critical to minimise risk, downtime, and cost.
At Nexus, we help organisations design and deliver seamless migrations — whether you’re moving workloads to the cloud, migrating to another hypervisor, or completing a full VMware-to-Proxmox transition.
Recent market changes have accelerated the need for alternatives. Many IT leaders are now evaluating VMware vs Proxmox and other platforms due to:
As a result, organisations are prioritising a clear VMware exit strategy that reduces dependency while maintaining performance and reliability. Nexus provides seamless VMware-to-Proxmox migration. Reduce costs, avoid lock-in, and build a future-ready VMware exit strategy with Nexus.
A successful VMware migration requires more than just moving virtual machines. Nexus offers comprehensive end-to-end support, including strategic planning, technical expertise, and careful execution.
We follow this proven framework to help our clients migrate.
We analyse your current environment, dependencies, and workloads to build a complete migration roadmap. Best practices recommend creating a full inventory and defining success criteria before migration begins. You’ll receive a clear recommendation and cost comparison.
We help you choose the right approach, tailored to your organisation:
Depending on your goals, we design a strategy for VMware- to-Proxmox migration or other platforms.
Our engineers handle the full migration lifecycle, including:
Modern migration tools enable live, warm, or cold migration depending on downtime requirements. And every project includes rollback planning for peace of mind.
Post-migration, we optimise performance, ensure stability, and provide ongoing support to maximise ROI.
We provide:
We won’t leave you hanging if something goes awry.
One of the fastest-growing requests we support is VMware-to-Proxmox migration. As a Proxmox partner and UK-wide managed IT provider, Nexus delivers end-to-end VMware migration services, from initial discovery through to optimisation and ongoing support.
When comparing VMware vs Proxmox, organisations often choose Proxmox because it offers:
✔ Open-source flexibility (no vendor lock-in)
✔ Lower total cost of ownership
✔ Built-in high availability and clustering
✔ Strong community and enterprise support.
We provide end-to-end support to migrate to Proxmox, including:
✔ Environmental design and architecture
✔ Conversion of VMware VMs to Proxmox-compatible formats
✔ Driver and storage optimisation
✔ Automation for large-scale migrations.
Real-world migration experiences show that scaling VMware-to-Proxmox migrations requires automation and careful handling of drivers, storage, and networking changes.
We use phased, live, or near-zero downtime migration techniques to ensure business continuity throughout the transition. Careful planning and testing allow critical systems to remain available while workloads are moved.
Applications, networks, and storage dependencies are fully mapped to prevent disruption during migration. This ensures that interconnected systems continue to function correctly once moved to the new platform.
Whether you’re migrating a small environment or thousands of virtual machines, we design scalable and repeatable migration processes. Automation and orchestration tools are used to maintain consistency and efficiency at every stage.
We proactively optimise CPU, storage, and network configurations to match or exceed existing performance levels. Post-migration tuning ensures your new environment runs efficiently and reliably from day one.
We bring certified Proxmox partner expertise with proven experience designing and supporting production environments, combined with a strategic-led approach that aligns your infrastructure decisions to real business outcomes. Through careful planning, we ensure minimal disruption during migration, and with full managed service support — from initial design through to ongoing management — you benefit from a single, accountable partner throughout.
If you’re reassessing your virtualisation platform or feeling the impact of rising costs and tighter vendor control, this service is designed to help you move forward with confidence. Our VMware migration services are ideal for:
We plan every VMware migration with risk mitigation in mind, including pre-migration testing, validation checkpoints, and fallback procedures. If an issue does occur, our team quickly isolates the problem and either resolves it in-flight or reverts affected workloads to a stable state to minimise disruption.
Yes, rollback is a core part of our migration strategy. Depending on the migration type (live, phased, or staged), we maintain recoverable snapshots or replicas so systems can be safely restored if needed, ensuring your business operations remain protected.
During the assessment, we analyse your current VMware environment, including workloads, dependencies, performance requirements, and licensing. This allows us to define the best migration approach, whether that’s a full VMware to Proxmox transition or a hybrid solution, along with clear timelines, risks, and cost considerations.
You’re not limited to Proxmox. We provide vendor-neutral VMware migration services tailored to your goals. While many organisations choose to migrate to Proxmox for cost and flexibility benefits, we can also support migrations to other platforms or cloud environments depending on your requirements.
In most cases, yes, especially if you’re facing rising VMware costs, looking to reduce vendor lock-in, or modernise your infrastructure. We evaluate your current setup, business needs, and technical constraints to determine whether a VMware exit strategy or partial migration is the right fit for your organisation.
