Virtualization & Proxmox
Get off VMware — onto a platform you actually own.
Since the Broadcom takeover, VMware licensing has become a moving target — bundled tiers, per-core minimums, and renewal bills that doubled or worse. Proxmox VE gives you enterprise virtualization, high availability, and clustering with no license wall. We plan and run the migration, build the cluster, and can keep it healthy after — the same platform we run our own cloud on.
Why us
We don’t just recommend Proxmox. We run it in production.
King Networks’ own cloud — the VMs, the hosting, the customer workloads — runs on Proxmox in our datacenter. So a migration isn’t a slide deck to us; it’s the platform we operate every day, with the networking, storage, and high-availability details worked out in the real world, not a lab.
What we do
Hypervisor Migration
Move off VMware/ESXi, Hyper-V, or XenServer onto Proxmox — VMs, storage, and networking carried across with a tested cutover plan and minimal downtime. We assess first and tell you honestly what converts cleanly and what needs a rebuild.
Custom Cluster Builds
Design and build a Proxmox high-availability cluster sized to your workload — nodes, shared or Ceph storage, networking, backups, and failover — on your hardware or colocated in our datacenter. Documented and handed off, or managed by us.
Managed Proxmox
Keep it healthy after go-live: tested updates, patching, monitoring, backup verification, and a real person to call when something needs attention. Pairs with our managed IT and backup services.
Proxmox VE is open-source with no per-VM license fee. Where you want the tested enterprise update channel and vendor support, we’ll size the Proxmox subscription into the plan — no surprises.
How a migration works
Measured, reversible, no gambling with production.
01
Assess
Inventory your VMs, storage, and networking. Flag what converts cleanly, what needs attention, and the licensing you’d stop paying.
02
Build & test
Stand up the Proxmox target and migrate a pilot set. Validate performance, networking, and backups before anything production moves.
03
Migrate
Move workloads in scheduled waves inside agreed windows. The old environment stays intact until each wave is confirmed good.
04
Cut over & support
Final cutover, decommission the old hosts on your say-so, and hand off documentation — or stay on with managed Proxmox.
Stop renting your hypervisor.
Tell us what you’re running today — how many hosts, which hypervisor, roughly how many VMs — and we’ll come back with a migration plan, a timeline, and what you’d save. No obligation.
