Proxmox Malaysia — VMware Exit & Enterprise Virtualisation
Primary Guard is an authorised Proxmox partner in Malaysia. We handle zero-downtime VMware to Proxmox migration, HA cluster deployment, Ceph storage, and ongoing managed support — saving enterprises 40–60% on virtualisation licensing.
Proxmox Services in Malaysia
Proxmox VE deployment
Production-grade Proxmox VE cluster deployment with high availability (HA) configuration. Primary Guard designs architecture, installs the cluster, and validates failover before handing over to your team.
VMware to Proxmox migration
Zero-downtime VMware to Proxmox migration using proven methodology. We inventory VMs, convert vmdk to qcow2/raw, validate each workload, and migrate in prioritised batches — without weekend downtime.
Ceph distributed storage
Enterprise Ceph storage integrated with Proxmox for high-performance, fault-tolerant distributed block and object storage. Eliminates SAN dependency and reduces storage costs significantly.
Backup & disaster recovery
Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) configuration with offsite replication. Automated VM snapshots, incremental backups, and tested restore procedures — not just backup scripts that nobody validates.
Performance tuning
NUMA topology optimisation, CPU pinning for latency-sensitive workloads, memory ballooning, and storage I/O tuning. Primary Guard's engineers squeeze maximum performance from your hardware investment.
Ongoing managed support
Primary Guard provides Proxmox managed support — monitoring, patch management, capacity planning, and 24/7 incident response. Direct access to certified engineers, not a level-1 helpdesk.
Exit VMware without the risk
Primary Guard provides a free VMware environment assessment — inventorying your VMs, estimating migration complexity, and modelling cost savings. Most assessments deliver within 5 business days.

What is Proxmox and why are Malaysian enterprises migrating from VMware?
Proxmox VE is an open-source enterprise virtualisation platform that combines KVM virtualisation, LXC containers, software-defined networking, and distributed storage in a single integrated platform. Malaysian enterprises are migrating from VMware following Broadcom's acquisition and significant licensing price increases (50–300% in many cases). Proxmox delivers equivalent or superior enterprise virtualisation at a fraction of VMware's licensing cost — saving most enterprises 40–60% annually.
How does Proxmox compare to VMware vSphere?
Proxmox and VMware vSphere provide equivalent enterprise virtualisation capabilities: live migration (Proxmox: migration without downtime), high availability clustering (Proxmox HA), distributed storage (Ceph vs vSAN), and enterprise backup. VMware's advantages are its ecosystem maturity and enterprise support. Proxmox's advantages are cost (no per-socket licensing), open standards, active development, and avoidance of Broadcom vendor lock-in. Primary Guard's migrations maintain identical VM configurations throughout the process.
Is Proxmox migration from VMware risky?
Proxmox migrations carry manageable risk when executed with proper methodology. Primary Guard runs parallel Proxmox environments during migration, validates each workload before cutover, and maintains the ability to roll back to VMware during the transition window. We have successfully migrated production VMware environments across banking, manufacturing, and enterprise customers in Malaysia without unplanned downtime.
How much does Proxmox migration cost in Malaysia?
Proxmox migration costs depend on VM count, storage size, and environment complexity. Primary Guard provides fixed-price migration engagements after an inventory assessment — typically ranging from MYR 15,000 for small environments (under 20 VMs) to MYR 80,000+ for large enterprise deployments with storage migration and complex networking.

Does Primary Guard provide Proxmox support in Malaysia?
Yes. Primary Guard is an authorised Proxmox partner in Malaysia providing enterprise support contracts, deployment services, and ongoing managed support. This includes access to Proxmox enterprise repositories (production-quality updates, security patches), direct vendor escalation for critical issues, and Primary Guard's local engineering team for on-site support across Malaysia.
