Cloud migration in Cyprus — planned, not gambled

Move to AWS, Azure or GCP — or off Broadcom-era VMware to Proxmox — with a plan, a rollback and a cost model, not a weekend of hope.

Get a migration plan

UpSystems plans and runs cloud and VMware migrations for companies in Cyprus and for international teams. From Limassol we move workloads to AWS, Azure, GCP, Hetzner or on-prem, and run VMware to Proxmox migrations for teams leaving Broadcom-era licensing — each with a dependency map, a staged cutover and a rollback at every step. Part of our DevOps outsourcing, from €500/month.

What's included

Discovery: dependency mapping and a migration-readiness assessment
Target architecture and a written cost model before you commit
Lift-and-shift, re-platform or re-architect — per workload
Staged cutover with rollback at each step, not a big-bang weekend
Data migration with validation and a tested restore
Infrastructure as Code for the target so it is reproducible
Post-migration cost and performance tuning
VMware to Proxmox migration and other hypervisor exits

Cloud migration — FAQ

Lift-and-shift or re-architect?+

It depends on the workload and your timeline. Lift-and-shift is fastest and lowest-risk but carries old inefficiencies; re-architecting unlocks cloud-native savings but costs more upfront. We assess per application rather than applying one strategy to everything.

Do you migrate VMware to Proxmox?+

Yes — it is one of our most common migrations right now. We move VMs off Broadcom-era VMware to Proxmox (or to cloud), handle storage, networking and the things that do not transfer cleanly, and cut over in slices with a rollback. We have written about what actually moves and what breaks.

Can you help us LEAVE a cloud or VMware, not just join one?+

Yes — a lot of our migration work is exits: off Broadcom-era VMware to Proxmox or cloud, or repatriating from a cloud that got expensive. We have written about what actually moves and what breaks.

How do you avoid a cutover disaster?+

Staged cutover with a rollback at each step, data validated before the switch, and a tested restore. We migrate in slices so a problem affects one workload, not the whole business.

Will it actually save money?+

Only if it is modelled honestly. We build a cost model before committing — including egress and managed-service pricing — so the decision is based on numbers, not a vendor slide. Sometimes the answer is to stay or repatriate.

What does it cost?+

Migration is scoped per project; ongoing operation runs from €500/month. See pricing.

Migration you can't afford to fumble?

We plan the move, model the cost, and cut over in slices with a rollback at every step. €65/hour, fixed-scope.
