Migration to Proxmox VE

Free your IT: Seamless migration to Proxmox VE

Full digital sovereignty, escape from vendor lock-in, and significant savings on licensing costs—without compromising on enterprise service levels.

Modern datacenter row with moving virtual machines from left to right.

THE CHALLENGE

Vendor lock-in is a thing of the past—welcome to the open-source era

The problem: dependency & exploding costs

More and more companies are specifically looking for alternatives to commercial virtualization platforms such as VMware®.
Proprietary licenses not only tie up substantial budgets, but also severely restrict technical freedom of action. The result: rising costs, lack of flexibility, and a strategic dependency on a single vendor.

The solution: Proxmox VE with credativ®

Proxmox VE is 100% open source—built on proven technologies such as KVM and LXC. This means full control over your own infrastructure, no hidden licensing fees, and maximum interoperability. With credativ as a certified Proxmox Authorized Reseller at your side, you get not only the technology, but also full enterprise support—at far more predictable costs.

100% Open Source

No proprietary dependencies—full control over KVM- and LXC-based environments.

Drastically lower licensing costs

Eliminate expensive vendor licenses and reinvest the budget in real added value.

Enterprise service levels

Predictable costs and SLA-backed support.

MIGRATION PROCESS

Everything from a single source: From concept to ongoing operations

credativ is not a simple license reseller—we are your end-to-end partner for the entire migration journey. From the initial analysis to a fully automated production environment, we support you at every step—securely, in a controlled manner, and without operational interruptions.

1

Analysis & planning

We assess your existing infrastructure as a whole—whether classic legacy systems or VMware environments—and develop a tailored migration strategy precisely aligned with your requirements.

2

Test migration

Critical applications are first migrated in an isolated pilot environment. This controlled trial run minimizes risks and provides assurance before the go-live of your production systems.

3

Phased implementation

The P2V or V2V migration is carried out in clearly defined phases—including container migrations and continuous monitoring—so your operations remain stable at all times.

4

Operations, automation & support

After the migration, credativ can also take over proactive administration, patch management, and the automation of your new infrastructure on request—e.g., with Ansible or Terraform—for maximum efficiency in ongoing operations.
