VMware to Proxmox: A Practical Migration Path

A hands-on evening session with practical insights to help you navigate the transition to VMware, and it's completely free.

The event titled 'VMware to Proxmox: A Practical Migration Path' is designed to assist organizations in navigating the challenges of transitioning from VMware to Proxmox, a popular open-source virtualization platform. This initiative is a collaborative effort between Linux Belgium and Mind, focusing on the pressing need for organizations to adapt to rising licensing costs and avoid vendor lock-in through effective use of open-source technologies. The event will take place at the Odisee co-hogeschool - Technologiecampus Gent, located in Ghent, Belgium.

Attendees will benefit from a comprehensive program featuring key industry speakers. Emiliano D'Agostino, the CEO of Mind, will kick off the event with a welcome address. Following this, Jasper Nuyens, the CEO of Linux Belgium, will lead a session on VMware to Proxmox migration along with a live demonstration of Proxmox. Wannes Smet, a System Administrator at ICSense, will share a real-world case study detailing the migration process from VMware to Proxmox utilizing a Ceph storage backend. The event promises to deliver insights into practical migration paths, lessons learned from customer experiences, and a pragmatic methodology demonstrated through proof of concepts (POCs). Additionally, Jasper Nuyens will discuss Proxmox support and training options available, as well as introduce new Proxmox courses being launched in Belgium.

This event targets IT managers, system administrators, architects, and decision-makers who are seeking a sustainable and enterprise-grade alternative for virtualization. Participants can expect to gain valuable knowledge on migration scenarios, enterprise-grade support options, and insights that will help them make informed decisions regarding Proxmox deployment in their organizations.
