What It Is
Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware has changed the licensing landscape dramatically. Many small and mid-size businesses are facing steep price increases, forced bundle purchases, and licensing models that no longer make sense at their scale. StrategixIT helps organizations evaluate their options and execute hypervisor migrations with confidence.
We’ve managed VMware environments for years and hold VMware Verified Advanced Professional certifications. We know the platform deeply, which means we also know exactly how to plan a migration away from it when the business case demands it.
Our migration service covers the full journey: assessment of your current VMware environment, evaluation of target platforms (Proxmox VE, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV, or optimized VMware licensing), migration planning, execution, and post-migration validation. We handle the complexity so your team experiences zero unplanned downtime.
Who It’s For
- Businesses running VMware vSphere or ESXi facing Broadcom licensing changes
- Organizations whose VMware costs have doubled or tripled under new licensing
- Companies with 5 to 50 virtual machines looking for a cost-effective alternative
- IT teams evaluating Proxmox VE, Hyper-V, or other hypervisor platforms
- Businesses that want to migrate but can’t afford extended downtime
What’s Included
- Current VMware environment assessment (hosts, VMs, storage, networking)
- License cost analysis: current VMware vs. alternative platforms
- Target platform recommendation with technical justification
- Detailed migration plan with rollback procedures
- Test migration of representative workloads
- Production migration execution with scheduled maintenance windows
- Network and storage reconfiguration as needed
- Post-migration validation and performance testing
- Documentation updates (network diagrams, runbooks, DR plans)
- 30-day post-migration support and monitoring
- Staff training on the new hypervisor platform
Why StrategixIT
We’ve run VMware in production for years. Our team holds VMware certifications and has managed vSphere clusters across multiple industries. We understand what you’re migrating from, in detail.
We’ve already done this migration. We’ve moved production workloads from VMware to Proxmox and Hyper-V for multiple clients. We know the gotchas: driver compatibility, storage format conversion, network reconfiguration, and backup integration.
Zero unplanned downtime is the standard. Every migration gets a detailed plan with rollback procedures. We test before we cut over, and we validate after. If something doesn’t look right, we roll back and regroup.
