Leave the lock-in. Keep your VMs.
Let's Migrate moves virtual machines off VMware and Nutanix onto open-source platforms like Proxmox VE, Canonical MicroCloud and OpenStack. Plan migrations as batch jobs, run them, and verify every VM landed.
Free at launch, with fair usage limits.
You're paying for a license, not for your workloads.
After the Broadcom acquisition, many VMware customers saw renewals jump. Nutanix and similar stacks tie you to one vendor's hardware, pricing and roadmap. The VMs themselves don't need any of that.
Staying on enterprise virtualization
- Per-core subscriptions and bundles you didn't ask for
- Pricing and product changes decided by one company
- Proprietary formats that make leaving hard on purpose
- Your data and contracts governed from outside the EU
Moving to open source
- Open code you can read, run and audit yourself
- Professional support subscriptions at a fraction of enterprise licensing
- Standard formats and APIs, so no one owns your exit
- European options for teams that care about digital sovereignty
Keep your infrastructure in Europe.
Leaving VMware or Nutanix is the moment to decide who controls your stack. Let's Migrate moves your workloads to platforms built and supported by European companies, so your data, your contracts and your roadmap stay on this side of the Atlantic.
European platforms, European support
- Proxmox VE is developed and supported in Vienna, Austria
- Canonical MicroCloud and OpenStack are backed by a European company
- Support contracts with European vendors under European law
- Easier to meet GDPR and NIS2 requirements when your vendor is close to home
Free from US vendor dependency
- No US parent company deciding your pricing or roadmap
- No surprise licensing changes after the next US acquisition
- Less exposure to the US CLOUD Act, which lets US authorities demand data from US companies wherever it's stored
Migrations as batch jobs, not weekend war rooms.
Built for the people who actually run the platform. Connect with the APIs you already have, group VMs the way your environment is organized, and move them on your schedule.
-
Connect both sides
Add your source and target over their native APIs: Prism Central credentials for Nutanix, a scoped API token like
user@pve!tokenfor Proxmox. Test the connection before anything moves. -
Plan your batches
Pick VMs, group them by application, team or maintenance window, and map each batch to a target. Start with the low-risk ones and build confidence.
-
Run and verify
Launch a batch and follow each VM as it moves. See what finished, what needs attention, and what's next in the queue, all in one place.
A clean console. No consultants required.
API-first connections
Save Nutanix and Proxmox connections once and reuse them across every migration.
Least-privilege by default
Proxmox connects with an API token, not a password, so you control exactly what the tool can touch.
Status you can trust
Every connection is tested live, so a batch never starts against an endpoint that isn't reachable.
Connections
Saved Nutanix and Proxmox API connections.
Create a token under Datacenter, Permissions, API Tokens, then fill in the user, realm and token name above.
Use the Prism Central username and password.
| Name | Platform | Host | Username | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| pve-cluster | proxmox | 192.168.0.111 | robz@pve!robz | Connected |
| prism-central | nutanix | 10.0.0.10 | robz | Connected |
From proprietary to open, in one tool.
Every target is open source and backed by European companies that sell support, so you keep enterprise-grade help without the enterprise invoice, and without a US-based support contract.

Migrate to
Know the landscape before you pick a destination.
The market splits into two camps: hypervisors that run your VMs, and cloud platforms that automate how they're delivered. Here's where the main players sit, and where they're headquartered.
Hypervisors
- VMware vSphereMigrate fromESXi and vCenter. The industry standard, now owned by Broadcom.
- Proxmox VEMigrate toOpen-source KVM and LXC. The most popular vSphere alternative.
- Nutanix AHVMigrate fromHypervisor bundled into the Nutanix HCI stack.
- HPE Morpheus VM EssentialsKVM-based hypervisor aimed at VMware migrations.
- XCP-ngOpen-source Xen-based hypervisor by Vates.
- openSUSE LeapGeneral Linux distribution that hosts KVM and Xen virtualization.
Private cloud platforms
- Canonical OpenStackMigrate toFull IaaS distribution of OpenStack by Canonical.
- Canonical MicroCloudMigrate toLightweight automated cluster with LXD, Ceph and MicroK8s.
- Spectro Cloud PaletteKubernetes lifecycle management across edge, data center and cloud.
- Red Hat OpenShiftKubernetes platform with built-in VM support through OpenShift Virtualization.
Flags show each company's headquarters country, not necessarily where the product is developed.
A hypervisor is not a private cloud.
Before you choose where to go, agree on what you're actually building. Pick the wrong kind of platform and the migration succeeds while the project fails.
Operations asks for a hypervisor
A stable, familiar place to run VMs. Clusters, HA, backups, and a console that works like the one they're leaving.
Developers expect a private cloud
Self-service, APIs, automation and Kubernetes. Spin up environments in minutes without opening a ticket.
If each team is picturing a different platform, nobody ends up happy. Get both sides in the same room early, and bring in an independent private cloud consultant to advise you as the customer before you commit to a target.
Built by someone who's run the migrations.
Robert Paulsson
Founder and developer, Let's Migrate
Robert builds Let's Migrate to solve a problem he kept seeing in IT operations: teams that want off expensive, proprietary virtualization but have no practical way to move hundreds of VMs without weeks of manual work.
Let's Migrate is his answer. A tool made for the engineers who do the work, that makes open-source platforms a realistic choice for any organization.
Free at launch. Be first in line.
Let's Migrate is in beta and heading to production soon. It will be free to use with some limits. Join the early access list and we'll email you release dates and the first invites.
Free tier for real migrations, not just a demo.
Early access invites go out before public release.
