VSHIFT Services
A complete VMware exit path: decision, POC, target architecture, phased migration, validation and handover to operations teams.
Decision path
Each engagement answers a specific VMware Exit question. Scope, expected evidence and deliverables are explicit before work begins.
01 · Decide
The audit turns inventory, dependencies, contractual constraints and continuity objectives into a documented decision — including exceptions that should not move immediately.
Analysis of your existing VMware environment before any migration decision.
Deliverables
02 · Validate
The POC reproduces critical scenarios and measures network, storage, backup, HA, DRP and operations. The conclusion is an evidence-based GO/NO-GO, not a generic demonstration.
POC designed to validate the platform before committing to production.
VSHIFT Cloud
Proxmox environment ready in minutes, hosted and managed by VSHIFT. Validate your target architecture without touching your production infrastructure.
Test on VSHIFT Cloud →Deliverables
HA architecture and recovery plan defined against your service objectives.
Deliverables
03 · Migrate
Waves start with reversible workloads. Each batch has prerequisites, application checks, stop criteria, restorable backups and a documented rollback procedure.
Progressive migration validated in production. Rollback planned at every step.
Deliverables
04 · Operate
The operating model covers monitoring, backup, support, knowledge transfer, modernisation and sovereignty requirements. Team autonomy is part of the expected outcome.
Infrastructure capable of hosting modern on-premise workloads.
Deliverables
On-premise infrastructure with dependencies, data location and operating responsibilities documented.
Deliverables
Platform & continuity
Three complementary offers extend the VMware Exit beyond architecture and migration. Their scope, responsibilities and engagement models remain distinct.
01
Dedicated, customisable Proxmox environments to test, validate or prepare a target without touching production.
02
Purchase and renewal of Proxmox VE and PBS subscriptions, with level qualification and follow-up by VSHIFT.
03
A recurring framework to maintain the platform, handle incidents and organise escalation after production go-live.
Our engagement formats
All engagements include full documentation and knowledge transfer. No black-box delivery.
Duration: 3 to 5 days. Deliverable: full infrastructure map, cost/risk report, migration roadmap.
Depends on scope and complexity. From a few weeks to several months depending on migration waves and production constraints.
Architecture, L3 support, quarterly reviews. Rolling monthly commitment.
Proxmox VE and PBS subscriptions available directly — purchase, renewal and ticket management through VSHIFT.
