VMware and Hyper-V migration assessment for Proxmox
The Virtualisation Exit Check provides a reliable plan for the move. We assess your current virtualisation, identify dependencies and design the right Proxmox target architecture. You receive risks, migration waves, rollback path and a reliable implementation price.

Proxmox is a trademark of Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH. WZ-IT is an authorized reseller partner of Proxmox Server Solutions GmbH. Our managed services and service levels are agreed separately from Proxmox subscriptions.
Starting point
Suitable for a concrete migration decision
- VMware or Hyper-V cost, contracts or dependencies need to be reduced
- Proxmox is being considered but size and migration effort are unclear
- The migration needs planned maintenance windows and rollback
- You need a transparent decision and budget basis
Know the technical and commercial implications before migrating
The check replaces a rough estimate with a documented target state. Management and IT receive the same foundation for effort, risk and the next step.
Complete inventory
Hosts, virtual machines, storage, networks, backups, special devices and relevant dependencies are captured systematically.
Appropriate Proxmox design
Capacity, cluster topology, storage, backup and required subscriptions are sized for the environment.
Executable migration plan
Waves, maintenance windows, tests, rollback and a binding project scope turn the decision into an actionable plan.
Four steps to a reliable exit plan
Production remains untouched. The check primarily uses exports, existing documentation and a joint technical discovery session.
- 01
Collect information
Inventory, utilisation, network, backup path and known special cases are collected.
- 02
Technical assessment
We evaluate compatibility, capacity, dependencies and risks for each system group.
- 03
Design target state
Proxmox, storage, backup, networking and operations are sized appropriately.
- 04
Review results
You receive the report, migration waves, risks and a concrete implementation framework.
What we need for the check
- Inventory or export of hosts and virtual machines
- Contacts for virtualisation, networking and applications
- Known maintenance windows and system criticality
- Existing information about storage, backups and special hardware
Technology, operations and migration risk in one check
Virtualisation is more than CPU and memory. We therefore include storage, networks, backups, availability and application dependencies.
Current-state assessment
Capture VMware or Hyper-V inventory, utilisation, versions and relevant configurations.
Dependencies
Review networks, VLANs, storage, backups, passthrough, appliances and critical operating paths.
Sizing
Size CPU, memory, storage, network and reserves for the Proxmox target system.
Target architecture
Define cluster, backup, high availability and subscription requirements transparently.
Migration plan
Group systems into sensible waves and define maintenance windows, tests and rollback.
Project price
Based on the confirmed scope, you receive a reliable implementation framework.
Service boundary
The check plans the migration but does not execute it
- Production changes to VMware, Hyper-V, storage or networks
- Application modernisation or troubleshooting inside virtual machines
- Procurement of servers, storage, licences or subscriptions
- Binding downtime commitments without confirmed application tests
Starting price
A clearly bounded check before the larger decision
The standard scope covers one VMware or Hyper-V environment with up to 25 virtual machines. Larger or distributed environments are scoped separately in advance.
Virtualisation Exit Check
from €1,490
excluding VAT, one-off
For one environment, one agreed target state and a reliable migration decision.
- Up to 25 virtual machines
- Current-state assessment and Proxmox design
- Risk, wave and rollback plan
- Results workshop and project price
If you commission the subsequent migration with an unchanged, confirmed scope, we credit €750 of the check price to the project.
All prices are net and exclude statutory VAT. The offers are addressed to businesses.
Planning, migration and operations from one team
If the target design is viable, WZ-IT can execute the migration and then operate the new Proxmox environment. The check remains fully usable without a follow-up order.
Migrate from VMware
Move workloads to Proxmox in controlled waves, test them and switch with a rollback path.

Configure operationsFrequently asked questions about the Virtualisation Exit Check
Scope, required data, Proxmox suitability and implementation
You receive a structured inventory, a sized Proxmox target design, known risks and dependencies, migration waves, maintenance and rollback concepts, and a reliable implementation framework.
No. The standard check is an analysis and planning service. We work with exports, documentation and agreed read access. Production changes only happen in a separately commissioned migration project.
Not automatically. Special appliances, vendor support requirements, storage features, passthrough, Windows licensing or very high availability requirements can affect the design. The check makes these issues visible in advance. If architecture questions such as ZFS or Ceph, cluster size or hardware sizing also need answers, Proxmox consulting is the right format.
Useful inputs include host and VM inventory, utilisation, storage and network overview, backup configuration, criticality and known exceptions. Missing information is identified as an assumption or open point.
Yes. WZ-IT can build the target platform, backup and network, migrate workloads, support cutover and testing, and then take over monitoring, updates and operations.
For a subsequent migration order with an unchanged, confirmed scope, we credit €750 of the check price. The check is also a standalone and fully usable service.

Proxmox proof from real projects
Customer feedback on virtualization, backup, VPN, security and ongoing cluster operations.
“WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.”
Steve Kirchner
Managing Director, nextGYM GmbH
“Professional, honest and technically thoroughly sound: WZ-IT set up our Proxmox and backup infrastructure securely and future-proof. The consulting from Timo and Robin was objective and needs-driven, the implementation smooth and the final documentation exemplary. You can tell immediately that business-critical infrastructure is thought through holistically from the outset here and implemented with clear ownership.”

“WZ-IT provided very competent support in implementing our server and virtualization infrastructure. As part of the project, a Proxmox-based virtualization environment was set up along with a virtual machine for our application systems. Additionally, a structured backup concept was implemented. A particular focus was on security: the setup of a VPN tunnel and the clean implementation of encryption and access concepts were professionally executed. The structured consulting as well as the reliable and swift implementation deserve special mention. We are very satisfied with the services provided and are happy to recommend WZ-IT.”

“Communication with WZ-IT was open, friendly and professional from the very beginning. Mr. Wevelsiep and Mr. Zins responded to every one of our questions patiently, promptly and respectfully, and contributed their own suggestions and good ideas on how to modernize our server infrastructure and adapt it even better to our needs. Throughout, WZ-IT consistently kept our need for data sovereignty and GDPR compliance in mind. Even short-notice adjustments and change requests from our side were implemented quickly and patiently and integrated consistently into the overall concept. From planning to the final handover, every step was documented transparently and comprehensively - so if a provider change should ever become necessary, the documentation would let us onboard a successor into our infrastructure very quickly. We are extremely satisfied with WZ-IT and hope to continue working together for a long time.”
