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.
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.
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
Decision 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.
Assessment scope
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.
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
Process
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
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.
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.

What follows
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.

Migrate Windows and Linux workloads including networking and backup in a controlled way.

Monitoring, updates, backup checks and agreed response for the new platform.
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.
Reviews & projects
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.
