Market Context and Urgency

Act before your next renewal cycle

Since Broadcom completed its acquisition of VMware in 2024, licensing policies have undergone dramatic changes. According to industry reports, many enterprises face 200-300% increases in licensing costs, with perpetual licenses being forcibly converted to subscription models. SMEs have lost access to previously available discount programs, forcing them to bear enterprise-level pricing.

This isn’t just about cost—it’s about IT strategy autonomy. Enterprises must ask: Should we remain locked to a single vendor? Are there more cost-effective alternatives? The answer is yes. Open-source virtualization platforms like Proxmox VE and OpenStack have matured significantly, offering enterprise-grade capabilities comparable to VMware while reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by 60-70%.

Now is the optimal time to evaluate migration. Completing your transition before the next licensing renewal cycle allows you to avoid expensive renewal fees while regaining control over your IT infrastructure.

Key Advantages

  • Less licensing costs: Open-source core completely free, pay only for support and Enterprise license if needed
  • No vendor lock-in: Open standards enable migration freedom
  • Active community: Continuous updates and security patches
  • Broad hardware compatibility: Supports commodity hardware, no proprietary equipment required

Choose the platform that matches your scale and strategy

Proxmox VE — Ideal for SMEs

Proxmox VE delivers comprehensive virtualization capabilities: KVM virtual machines, LXC containers, software-defined storage, high-availability clustering, and live migration. Its intuitive interface ensures a gentle learning curve. The community edition is completely free, while enterprise subscriptions cost just 15-20% of VMware equivalents. Particularly suitable for environments under 100 VMs.

OpenStack — For Large Enterprises and Private Clouds

For organizations requiring private cloud infrastructure or complex requirements, OpenStack provides maximum flexibility and scalability. It supports multi-tenancy, self-service portals, elastic scaling, and other cloud-native features. While technically more demanding, it enables true cloud transformation in the long term.

Complete Migration Service Process

Methodical, transparent, and outcome-focused

Phase 1: Assessment and Planning

(2–4 weeks)
Environment Assessment
  • Current VMware inventory (VM count, resource usage, network architecture)
  • Application dependency analysis
  • Performance baseline testing and documentation
Feasibility Analysis
  • Feature comparison and gap analysis
  • Identification of workloads requiring adjustment
  • Risk assessment and mitigation strategies
Migration Plan Development
  • Detailed timeline and milestones
  • Phased migration sequence (Dev→Test→Production)
  • Rollback plans and contingency procedures

Phase 2: Proof of Concept

(1–2 weeks)
  • Test environment setup
  • Non-critical workload migration
  • Functionality and performance validation
  • Team training sessions

Phase 3: Production Migration

(4–8 weeks)
Infrastructure Deployment
  • Proxmox/OpenStack cluster setup
  • Network and storage configuration
  • Backup and monitoring implementation
Workload Migration
  • Automated bulk migration using tools
  • Application configuration adjustments
  • Data integrity verification
Cutover and Validation
  • Parallel running period (typically 2 weeks)
  • Performance optimization
  • User acceptance testing

Phase 4: Knowledge Transfer and Support

(Ongoing)
  • Administrator deep-dive training
  • Operations manual and documentation
  • 30/60/90-day reviews
  • Continuous optimization recommendations

Engineered for continuity, validated by checkpoints

Risk Mitigation Measures

  • Parallel Running: Old and new environments coexist until stability confirmed
  • Incremental Sync: Live replication technology reduces cutover window to minutes
  • Comprehensive Backup: Complete pre-migration backup enables instant rollback
  • Phased Execution: Start with low-risk systems to accumulate experience
  • Dual Certification: Engineers certified in both VMware and target platforms

Zero-Downtime Commitment

Through live migration technology and carefully planned cutover windows, we ensure critical business systems complete migration with zero downtime. Non-critical systems can be scheduled during off-hours to minimize impact.
