The benefits of Transparent Solutions’ Proxmox migration assistance

Minimal downtime

With extensive Proxmox migration expertise, we efficiently move your VMs, VM disks, and VM configurations to a Proxmox virtual environment (VE). This ensures that the migration does not cause significant downtime and disruption to your business operations.

Optimized performance

After the migration, we’ll fully optimize your Proxmox VE for performance, guaranteeing efficient resource allocation, accurate memory allocation, and smooth operation of VMs and containers.

Data integrity

Our methodology guarantees data consistency by executing a controlled and verified data transfer from the source to the destination host, resulting in a reliable migration.

Security and compliance

Our Proxmox migration service prioritizes the security of your VMs and data throughout the process. We follow best practices and compliance standards to keep your information and systems secure during the transition.

Our migration process

Transparent Solutions simplifies the transition from your current environment or physical server to a Proxmox VE. We execute a smooth migration of VMs, storage layers, and network configurations by handling every step of the process:

1. Initial assessment

We start by evaluating your current infrastructure, including VM configurations, network settings, and storage to understand how your Proxmox VE should be set up. We also assess the VM data, VM backups, and unused disks for compatibility and any other potential issues.

2. VM migration planning

Based on the assessment, we develop a migration strategy that guarantees a seamless transfer of VMDK files, virtual disks, and VMs. Our team determines the appropriate migration method (whether manual migration or the use of tools such as VMware Converter) and verifies that network adapters, BIOS settings, and boot devices are configured correctly.

3. Data backup and restoration

Before we begin, we make VM backups to protect your data during the migration. This allows us to restore the VM data if any unexpected issues arise.

4. Proxmox setup and configuration

We configure your Proxmox server or Proxmox cluster to handle the newly migrated VM, storage layers, and network settings. We’ll make sure that Proxmox’s web interface is set up so you can easily manage your VMs and containers in the future.

5. Post-migration testing

Once the migration is complete, we perform a series of tests to confirm all systems, including virtual disks, network adapters, and storage configurations, are working as expected.

FAQ about Proxmox migration

When I migrate to a Proxmox server, do I have to get new VMs? Do I have to use Proxmox VMs?
No, you don’t need to get new VMs when migrating to Proxmox. We can migrate VMs and their disk configurations from your current platform, such as VMware ESXi, directly into Proxmox VE, with minimal changes. While your VMs will be running within the Proxmox VE, they will be the same VMs you were using previously, just optimized for Proxmox.
Yes, you can keep your existing operating system, whether it’s Windows Server or a Linux distribution. The Proxmox migration process involves adapting your operating systems to work smoothly in the new environment, preserving the performance and configurations you need.
While some minor network settings or disk configurations may need adjusting, most of the VM configurations will carry over seamlessly during the migration. We handle the majority of the setup, ensuring that your Proxmox VMs are ready to run as soon as the migration is complete.
The time required for Proxmox migration depends on the size of your IT environment and the number of VMs involved. We aim for a quick transition, with minimal impact on your daily operations.
Yes, Proxmox is compatible with various storage setups, whether you use local storage, shared storage, or network storage. Our team will evaluate your storage setup and recommend the ideal migration strategy.
