Smooth Transition

Step 1: Plan & Assess Your Environment

Before migrating, analyze your current VMware infrastructure and define your migration goal

  • Inventory Your VMs – Identify which VMs need migration, including CPU, RAM, disk size, and network settings

​

  • Choose a Target Platform – Select an alternative such as Proxmox, Nutanix AHV, OpenStack, Hyper-V, KVM, or cloud-based platforms like AWS or Azure.

​

  • Check Compatibility – Ensure the new platform supports your OS, applications, and networking requirements

​

  • Backup Your Data – Create full backups of all critical VMs to prevent data loss

Step 2: Prepare the Destination Platform

Set up the new virtualization environment to match your needs

Install & Configure the Hypervisor – Deploy your chosen hypervisor and configure storage, networking, and security settings


Test Performance & Connectivity – Verify that the new platform meets workload requirements


Create VM Templates – If possible, create base VM templates for a smoother transition
