Leave VMware, from the costed study to the last migrated VM
Facing the Broadcom renewal cost, compare Proxmox VE and XCP-ng on your real estate, plan the migration in waves, check every machine before cutover and follow it to the end, from the console that already manages VMware and your future platform.

From the study to the cutover, in the same console
- 01
Study
Your real estate from an RVTools export or the agent: machines, hosts, VMware features in use (DRS, vSAN, NSX), end of life.
- 02
Choose
Proxmox VE, XCP-ng or Nutanix sized and costed on the same basis: 3- and 5-year TCO, traced assumptions.
- 03
Plan
Migration waves, network and storage mappings saved once, cutover windows.
- 04
Migrate
Pre-cutover checks, native import by the destination, machine-by-machine progress, one-click rollback.
- 05
Operate
VMware and the new platform in the same console: same rights, same log, backups matched on both sides.
What you will present to your board
Every scenario is sized and costed on the same basis: your board compares comparable figures, not vendor quotes that cannot be compared.
- 3- and 5-year TCO per scenario: licences, support, hardware, hosting and migration
- Number of nodes and CPU/RAM sizing per target architecture
- Adjustable assumptions: overcommit, redundancy, growth, kept or new servers
- Monthly cost per virtual machine, for internal chargeback
Two destinations, imported natively
NaoShift relies on each platform's native import, then manages the target from the first migrated machine.
Proxmox VE
Native import from the ESXi host, with the option to start the machine during the import.
- Actions, console, high availability and cloud-init deployment
- Proxmox Backup Server matched with the inventory
- Node hardware health: SMART, ZFS
- Self-service portal for hosting providers
XCP-ng · Vates VMS
Native import by Xen Orchestra from the ESXi host, machine by machine.
- Actions, console, high availability and deployment from your templates
- Xen Orchestra backups matched with the inventory
- Pools, SRs and arrays matched to machines
- Self-service portal for hosting providers
Plan, check and follow every migration
From the console that already manages VMware and your future platform. The destination imports the disks itself: no data goes through NaoShift.

- Drag a machine from vCenter onto a Proxmox VE cluster or an XCP-ng pool, or open a new migration
- Destination chosen disk by disk and adapter by adapter; network and storage mappings reused wave after wave
- Pre-cutover checks: snapshots, RDM or vSAN disks, vTPM, free space, name already taken, recent backup, rights
- Waves with a cutover window and concurrent migrations; one-click rollback
Migration waves: running, scheduled, completed
Nothing goes through NaoShift
The destination imports the disks directly from the ESXi host.
The source stays intact
The migration never deletes the original machine: rollback restarts it.
Every operation is traced
Read-only by default, write access enabled per target with a dedicated account, traced before execution.
NaoShift Core in three minutes
Inventory, actions, rights, audit and analytics, on all your hypervisors.
Frequently asked questions
No. Proxmox VE and Xen Orchestra copy the disks directly from the ESXi host. NaoShift orchestrates, checks and traces every step.
Your renewal is coming. Your exit can start now.
