Migrations
Migrations
VMware to Hyper-V, Microsoft 365 tenants, servers and file shares, moved on nights and weekends so your staff see a normal work week.
VMware to Hyper-V
Broadcom’s VMware licensing is now subscription-only, with a 16-core minimum per processor and bundled tiers. Hyper-V is already included in your Windows Server license, with live migration, failover clustering and replication built in.
Between March and April 2026 our engineers ran four VMware to Hyper-V migrations at the same time, more than 100 virtual machines in all, and finished every one on schedule, including one with a hard VMware expiry and no grace period.
How a VMware to Hyper-V migration runs ›
Microsoft 365
- Email and file moves from on-premises Exchange, file servers or another tenant
- Tenant-to-tenant moves after a merger, acquisition or rebrand
- Microsoft 365 Business Premium security: multifactor sign-in, Defender and conditional access
- Intune device enrollment and Autopilot for new PCs
- Teams Phone: numbers ported and auto attendants built before cutover
Servers and file shares
- Old Windows Server versions moved to current, supported releases
- File shares moved with permissions cleaned up and documented
- Line-of-business applications moved with the vendor engaged where needed
How a migration runs
1. Inventory
Every workload, license and dependency recorded before we quote.
2. Plan and test
A written cutover plan and a test migration of representative systems.
3. Cut over and verify
After hours, with a rollback path, and the old system kept until the new one is proven.
A quote is a quote. Every project is quoted complete and fixed: hardware, licensing, labor and migration. If we leave out a component the design needs, we supply it at no charge. No change orders for our own omissions.
Frequently asked questions
Will my staff notice the migration?
Production cutovers happen on nights and weekends. Staff log in Monday to the new system.
Do I need to buy new servers to leave VMware?
Not always. If your hosts are under warranty and support Windows Server 2025, we can rebuild them on Hyper-V. If they are aging, a hardware refresh and the migration together usually cost less than doing either twice.
How long does a VMware to Hyper-V migration take?
It depends on the number of virtual machines and their dependencies. We give you the schedule with the fixed quote, after the inventory.
