Each new system brought another physical server, more power and more warranties. Our fix: Consolidation onto a small number of well-sized hosts.
See the common problemsEvery request means buying hardware and waiting for delivery. Our fix: Templates that deliver a new VM the same day.

We design and run virtualisation on VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Proxmox VE: fewer physical boxes, faster recovery and new servers ready in minutes instead of weeks.
Why teams virtualise
Too many boxes, too little control.
A server for every application
Each new system brought another physical server, more power and more warranties.
Weeks to deliver a new server
Every request means buying hardware and waiting for delivery.
Hardware failure means a rebuild
When a physical server dies, the application dies with it.
Licence uncertainty
Hypervisor licensing changes left you unsure what you are paying for.
What we deliver
A virtual platform built to last.
VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox compared for features, skills and licensing.
CPU, memory, networking and storage sized with failover headroom.
Shared, local or hyper-converged storage matched to performance needs.
Physical servers and old VMs converted with minimal downtime.
Standard VM builds, resource pools and snapshot rules.
VM-level backup and restore tested end to end.
Platforms
Three hypervisors, one honest comparison.
VMware vSphere
Rich features and broad vendor support; review licensing carefully.
Microsoft Hyper-V
Included with Windows Server and familiar to Windows teams.
Proxmox VE
Open-source KVM platform with clustering and optional support.
Hyper-converged
Compute and storage in the same nodes, managed as one.
Interactive · VM consolidation saver
How much could consolidation save?
Enter your physical servers. We estimate hosts needed, rack space and power freed up.
Indicative consolidation result
Indicative only. Assumes typical utilisation of older servers and 650 W per new 2U host. A capacity assessment confirms real ratios.

FAQ
Questions about Virtualization.

Almost always. Business applications rarely notice the difference. We check vendor support statements and test each workload before cutting over.
It would be without planning. We size hosts with failover headroom and pair them with shared storage or replication, so a host failure does not stop everything.
We compare staying on VMware with moving to Hyper-V or Proxmox, looking at features you actually use, skills and total cost, then recommend the calmest path.
Most conversions take a few hours each and are done out of hours. Larger databases may need a planned window.
Sometimes. If they are recent enough and in warranty, we can repurpose them; otherwise we recommend new hosts sized for the next few years.
No. Snapshots are short-term undo points on the same storage. We set clear snapshot rules and keep real backups separately.
Yes. We can monitor hosts, apply updates and check capacity under a maintenance plan.
A virtual platform makes that easier. We design with portability in mind so selected VMs can move to Azure or AWS later.
