How It Works

Migrate in 3 Simple Steps

Discover & Validate

Connect to your VMware or Proxmox environment. We scan, inventory, and validate all VMs for compatibility.

Plan & Schedule

Group VMs, map networks and storage, set maintenance windows. Preview everything before execution.

Migrate & Verify

Automated migration with live validation. Automatic rollback if anything fails.

Features

Everything You Need for a Successful Migration

Anti-Affinity Groups

Prevent migration of redundant VMs at the same time. Keep your services available during migration.

Network Mapping

Visual network mapping from source VLANs to target OpenStack networks.

Storage Migration

Block-level replication with minimal cutover time. Support for multiple storage backends.

Migration Scheduler

Schedule migrations during maintenance windows. Automatic pause/resume capabilities.

Pre-flight Validation

Comprehensive checks before migration: resource availability, network connectivity, storage capacity.

Automatic Rollback

If anything goes wrong, automatic rollback to the original state. No manual intervention needed.
