VMware Migration Advisory
Escape the Broadcom pricing trap. Migrate with confidence.
Following Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, many organisations face dramatically increased licensing costs. We help you evaluate alternatives — Proxmox, Nutanix, Hyper-V, or public cloud — and plan a structured migration that minimises risk and downtime.
How We Work
Estate audit
We inventory your VMware environment: hosts, VMs, vSAN, NSX components, and licensing spend.
Platform evaluation
We evaluate target platforms against your performance, compliance, skills, and budget requirements.
TCO modelling
We model 3-year total cost of ownership for each platform including licensing, hardware refresh, and migration effort.
Migration planning
We produce a phased migration plan with workload prioritisation, dependency mapping, and rollback procedures.
Execution support
We provide advisory during migration waves, helping your team handle edge cases and validate post-migration performance.
FAQs
Which platform do you recommend as a VMware alternative?
It depends on your workloads, skills, and budget. Proxmox is popular for cost-conscious migrations; Nutanix for enterprise feature parity. We give unbiased recommendations based on your situation.
Can you handle the migration or just advise?
We primarily provide advisory and project management. For hands-on execution, we work with vetted implementation partners.
What if we want to move to public cloud instead?
We assess public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) alongside on-prem alternatives and help with lift-and-shift or re-architecture planning.
