VMware virtualisation
Multiple servers on one piece of hardware. The industry standard for enterprise server virtualisation. We implement, optimise and maintain your vSphere infrastructure.
What virtualisation is and why it matters
Traditionally, one physical server = one application. With virtualisation, a single physical server can host 10–20 'virtual machines', each with its own OS and apps. The result: 60–80% less hardware, lower electricity bills, simpler management.
What we do with VMware
ESXi hypervisor rollout
Initial installation on your servers, network configuration, storage attachment.
Central management with vCenter
All virtualised servers in one console. Migration between hosts in a click, without stopping operations.
Migration from physical servers
P2V (Physical-to-Virtual) — existing physical servers move to virtual ones with no data loss.
High availability (HA)
If one physical server fails, the virtual machines move to another host automatically. Users never notice.
Backup and recovery
Veeam Backup & Replication integrated with vSphere — VM-level copies, fast recovery, replication to another data centre.
Resource optimisation and scaling
DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) balances the load automatically. We add or remove RAM/CPU based on real need.
VMware products we work with
Companies with on-premise servers
5–50 services (file server, AD, databases, mail relay) — on 2–3 physical machines with VMware.
Data centres
For large companies with their own data centres, VMware is the industry standard.
Hybrid infrastructure
Some services stay local (VMware), some go to the cloud (Azure/AWS). VMware Cloud Foundation bridges the two.
Disaster recovery setups
A primary data centre + a replica in another city or country. SRM provides automatic failover.
Frequently asked questions
Is VMware dying after the Broadcom takeover?
Broadcom acquired VMware in 2023 and changed licensing substantially — more bundles, higher prices, which created uncertainty in the market. But VMware is still the dominant hypervisor in enterprise environments. We help you assess whether staying with VMware is worth it — or whether to move (Proxmox, Hyper-V, Nutanix).
What are the alternatives to VMware?
Proxmox VE (open source), Microsoft Hyper-V (if you are Windows-centric already), Nutanix AHV (an HCI solution), Citrix XenServer. Each has its use case — we help you choose.
How much do VMware licences cost?
After the Broadcom takeover — considerably more than before. Today VMware is a choice for large companies with serious budgets. For small and medium businesses we often recommend alternatives.
Is virtualisation slow?
In modern hypervisors (vSphere 8) the performance overhead is 2–5% — practically unnoticeable. The gains (less hardware, higher availability, faster backup) more than compensate.
Planning virtualisation, or rethinking your current VMware setup?
A free consultation — we help you see whether VMware is the best choice in your case, or whether an alternative would fit better.
