Virtual Machines
VMware and Hyper-V virtualisation to maximise server efficiency
Server virtualisation lets you run multiple workloads on a single physical server, dramatically reducing hardware costs and improving flexibility. Our virtualisation services cover VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Proxmox — from initial design through to ongoing management.
What's included
- VMware vSphere and Hyper-V deployment
- Physical to virtual (P2V) migration
- VM provisioning and management
- Resource optimisation and right-sizing
- High availability and failover clustering
- Snapshot and cloning capabilities
- vSAN and storage virtualisation
- Integration with backup and DR solutions
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Designed to deliver measurable outcomes for your business.
VMware vSphere
Industry-leading virtualisation platform for enterprise workloads. We design, deploy, and manage vSphere environments of all sizes.
Microsoft Hyper-V
Cost-effective virtualisation built into Windows Server. Ideal for businesses already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem.
P2V Migration
We migrate your physical servers to virtual machines with minimal downtime, consolidating hardware and reducing costs.
High Availability
VMware HA and Hyper-V failover clustering ensure your VMs restart automatically if a host fails — minimising downtime.
Resource Management
We right-size VM resources, configure resource pools, and monitor utilisation to ensure optimal performance.
Snapshot Management
VM snapshots enable rapid rollback before changes or updates — a critical safety net for system administrators.
How we get started
A simple, proven onboarding process to get you up and running fast.
Assessment
We assess your current server workloads, resource utilisation, and virtualisation readiness.
Design
We design your virtualisation platform — host sizing, storage, networking, and HA configuration.
Deploy & Migrate
We deploy the hypervisor and migrate workloads from physical to virtual with minimal downtime.
Optimise
Post-deployment optimisation ensures resources are allocated efficiently and performance meets expectations.
Frequently asked questions
VMware or Hyper-V — which is better?
Both are excellent platforms. VMware vSphere is the industry standard with the richest feature set, while Hyper-V is more cost-effective for businesses already using Windows Server. We'll recommend the right platform for your environment.
How much can virtualisation reduce our hardware costs?
Typically 3:1 to 10:1 consolidation ratios are achievable, meaning you can run 3-10 virtual servers on a single physical host. This dramatically reduces hardware, power, and cooling costs.
Can you migrate our existing physical servers to VMs?
Yes. We perform physical-to-virtual (P2V) migrations using VMware vCenter Converter and other tools, with minimal downtime.
How does virtualisation improve disaster recovery?
VMs can be replicated to a secondary site or cloud, enabling rapid failover. VM snapshots also provide a quick rollback capability for failed updates or changes.
