Proxmox VE — Enterprise Virtualisation, Open Source.
Proxmox Virtual Environment delivers enterprise virtualisation — KVM-based VMs, LXC containers, HA clusters, Ceph storage, live migration — under an open-source AGPL licence. Illumia is a Proxmox Silver Partner and handles the entire migration end-to-end with zero data loss, from VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix, or bare metal.

Why Migrate to Proxmox VE
Massive Cost Reduction
Proxmox VE is fully open-source under AGPL — no per-CPU, per-core, or per-VM licensing fees. Support is purchased separately and only where you need it.
Pay only for the support tier you actually need — published pricing, no bundled add-ons.
Enterprise-Grade Virtualisation
Run full virtual machines and lightweight Linux containers from the same hypervisor and management console — no extra licensing for either.
Native HA with automated failover, live migration, and rolling upgrades — designed to meet your existing availability SLAs.
Ceph & ZFS Storage
Built-in Ceph for hyperconverged, software-defined block and object storage on commodity hardware.
Instant snapshots, async replication, and self-healing storage on local disks — ideal for branch and edge deployments.
Migration Tooling
Proxmox VE's native vCenter importer pulls VMs directly from your existing ESXi or vSphere environment — preserving disks, MACs, and network configuration.
Migrate workload-by-workload with rollback windows. Our team maps every dependency before any VM is moved.
Backup & DR
Deduplicated, incremental, encrypted backups with point-in-time restore — included free with every Proxmox VE deployment.
Replicate backups to a second site, an S3-compatible object store, or Illumia's managed backup cloud for compliance-grade DR.
Web UI & API
Manage the entire cluster from a browser — no thick client and no separate management appliance required.
Automate provisioning with Terraform, Ansible, or your existing CI/CD pipelines. Every UI action has an equivalent API call.
Hardened Linux Base
Built on Debian stable with a curated Linux kernel — predictable, well-understood, and supported by a vast ecosystem.
Receive security patches the same day they ship upstream — without waiting for a vendor patch cycle.
Network Flexibility
Native VLAN tagging, bonding, and Open vSwitch integration for advanced SDN topologies without proprietary licensing.
Built-in SDN controller for VXLAN overlays, EVPN, and zone-based segmentation across geographically distributed clusters.
Illumia Delivery
Direct escalation path to Proxmox engineers. Our team holds production migration experience across BFSI, manufacturing, and government workloads.
Every migration includes pre-migration backup, parallel-run validation, and a documented rollback plan — so cutover risk is engineered out, not accepted.
As a certified Proxmox Silver Partner, Illumia Solutions delivers production-grade migrations to Proxmox VE without compromising on enterprise capability. From workload assessment and design to cutover, hardening, and post-migration support, our engineers cover every stage — so your uptime SLAs are never at risk.
