Easy migration out of Broadcom VMware

Join the exodus with simple tools to assist on your VMware migration

Leverage Xen Orchestra to seamlessly migrate your VMware VMs to XCP-ng. This tool supports migration from any accessible ESXi host, including those at remote locations, by directly streaming the VMs to XCP-ng.

Learn more about the process by exploring our step-by-step guide on how to migrate from VMware to XCP-ng with just a few clicks.

Need further assistance?

Contact us for a personalized and dedicated migration plan tailored to your existing VMware infrastructure's transition to XCP-ng.

Upgrade from XenServer

Migrate out XenServer to enjoy a true open platform

Just insert the ISO and follow instructions. You'll have an upgrade panel, just select it and that's it!

After a reboot, you'll be on XCP-ng while keeping all your previous settings (Storage, VMs…)

No physical access to the XenServer host?

Please check our documentation for advanced upgrade cases.

Security

XCP-ng is focused on security, and it starts here

Security matters: all our repositories, ISOs and packages are signed with a GPG key. This key is available here:

https://xcp-ng.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-xcpng

Then, you can follow our guide on how to check authenticity of our ISO, and even any XCP-ng RPM repository or mirror.

Found a security problem in XCP-ng? Please email us on security at xcp-ng dot org

Old releases

In case you want to track regressions or for the fun of it

We strongly suggest to download only the current release (8.3 LTS).

This is kept only for historical purpose.

You can find all previous XCP-ng releases here:

https://mirrors.xcp-ng.org

Manage XCP-ng at scale

Web UI, API or CLI, Xen Orchestra provides even native backup features.

Just go on this web page and follow instructions:

https://vates.tech/deploy

This will deploy a small Xen Orchestra VM doing all the management and backup for your XCP-ng. Follow instructions given on the screen, and you're up and running!

XCP-ng can be managed via both a centralized UI, API or a CLI. The choice is yours. There's also Terraform & Packer providers available.

If you want to learn more about managing XCP-ng, please read all the possibilities on our official documentation.
