VMware to Proxmox Migration
VMware's new licensing has turned a routine renewal into a boardroom conversation. There is a proven exit, and we've run it: Proxmox.
No jargon. Here's how it really is.
Honest context: after Broadcom's acquisition, VMware renewals have jumped severalfold for many Australian businesses. Proxmox is the open-source virtualisation platform we run ourselves — mature, fast and free of per-core licence shock. The migration is genuinely routine when planned properly: we build the Proxmox environment alongside your existing one, move workloads in rehearsed windows, and keep rollback available until everything has proven itself. No leap of faith required.
