Hypervisor Deployment, Migration & Lifecycle Management

 

We deploy, manage, and optimize virtualization platforms (Proxmox VE, Microsoft Hyper-V, and VMware ESXi) so your infrastructure runs efficiently, securely, and with high availability. Whether you're migrating from VMware to Proxmox or building a new cluster from scratch, our team handles it end to end.

  Deploy and harden Proxmox VE, Hyper-V, and VMware ESXi environments

  VMware-to-Proxmox migration with minimal downtime

  HA clustering, live migration, and automated failover

  Ongoing VM lifecycle management, snapshots, and capacity planning

Hypervisor deployment and hardening

We install, configure, and harden your virtualization platform according to vendor best practices and CIS benchmarks. Whether it's a single-node Proxmox setup or a multi-node vSphere cluster, we ensure your foundation is solid:

  Clean installation with validated firmware and driver stacks

  Network configuration: VLANs, bonding, storage networks

  Security hardening: access controls, firewall rules, SSH lockdown

  Integration with existing storage (NFS, iSCSI, Ceph, local ZFS)


VMware to Proxmox migration

With VMware licensing changes making Proxmox an increasingly attractive alternative, we offer structured migration services. We assess your current VMware environment, plan the migration path, convert VMs, and validate everything in a controlled cutover, minimizing risk and downtime.

  Pre-migration assessment and compatibility analysis

  VM conversion (VMDK to QCOW2/raw) with driver injection

  Network and storage reconfiguration for the new platform

  Parallel running and validation before final cutover


High availability and clustering

For production workloads that require uptime guarantees, we configure HA clustering with automated failover:

  Multi-node clustering with quorum and fencing

  Live migration for zero-downtime maintenance windows

  Automated VM restart on node failure

  Shared storage configuration for seamless failover


VM lifecycle management

Ongoing operational management of your virtual environment includes:

  VM provisioning, cloning, and template management

  Snapshot policies and backup integration

  Resource monitoring: CPU, RAM, disk I/O, network utilization

  Capacity planning and right-sizing recommendations

  Hypervisor patching and firmware updates

  Frequently Asked Questions

Proxmox VE, Microsoft Hyper-V, and VMware ESXi/vSphere. We recommend Proxmox for most new deployments due to cost, flexibility, and open-source licensing.

Depends on environment size. A typical 10-20 VM migration takes 1-2 weeks including assessment, conversion, testing, and cutover.

Yes, we support environments running multiple hypervisors simultaneously during transitions or by design.

Yes, we configure Proxmox HA clusters with Corosync, fencing, and shared storage for automated failover.
