VMware vSphere &
vCenter Mastery.
We've been deploying VMware since before most IT shops knew what a hypervisor was. Version 2.5 through 8.5—every release, every architecture, every edge case. Your entire virtualization lifecycle, handled.
Design. Deploy. Migrate. Optimize. From single-host labs to 10,000-VM datacenters with vCenter HA, distributed switches, and vSAN stretched clusters. We don't consult—we build.
Two Decades of VMware. Every Version. Every Architecture.
We didn't start with vSphere 7. We started when ESX had a service console and vMotion was science fiction. That institutional knowledge is why Fortune 500 companies trust us with their most complex virtualization environments.
ESX 2.5 / 3.x
The foundation. Service console, VirtualCenter 1.x, first vMotion deployments. We were there when VMware proved virtualization wasn't just for dev/test.
vSphere 4.x
vCenter Server 4.0, Fault Tolerance, vNetwork Distributed Switch, Host Profiles. The enterprise era began—and we architected some of the first large-scale rollouts.
vSphere 5.x
vSphere Web Client, VSAN 1.0, vSphere Replication, vFlash Read Cache. Storage virtualization changed everything. We designed reference architectures that VMware themselves referenced.
vSphere 6.x
Cross-vCenter vMotion, Long Distance vMotion, Content Library, Encrypted vMotion. Multi-site became real. We built stretched clusters spanning continents.
vSphere 7.x
vSphere with Tanzu, DRS improvements, vSphere Lifecycle Manager, vTPM. Kubernetes on vSphere. We deployed some of the first production Tanzu environments.
vSphere 8.x
DPU/SmartNIC support, vSAN 8 Express Storage Architecture, Configuration Profiles, GPU passthrough for AI/ML workloads. The future is here—and we're already deploying it.
vCenter Server: The Nerve Center of Your Datacenter
vCenter isn't just management software—it's the single pane of glass that determines whether your virtualization investment pays off or becomes a liability. We architect vCenter deployments that scale, survive, and perform.
vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA)
Full lifecycle management of the vCenter Server Appliance. Deployment, sizing, backup, restore, and migration from Windows vCenter to VCSA. We've migrated hundreds of vCenter instances without a single minute of unplanned downtime.
vCenter HA & Linked Mode
High availability for your management plane. Active-passive vCenter HA with automatic failover, Enhanced Linked Mode for multi-site management, and cross-vCenter operations for global enterprises.
SSO & Identity Management
Platform Services Controller architecture, vSphere SSO domain design, Active Directory integration, certificate management, and identity federation. Security starts at the management layer.
Monitoring & Operations
vRealize Operations (Aria Operations) deployment, custom dashboards, capacity planning, what-if analysis, and automated remediation. We build the observability layer that keeps your environment healthy.
Full-Stack Virtualization Services
Every layer of the VMware stack. Designed, deployed, hardened, and optimized by engineers who've been doing this longer than most vendors have existed.
VDI & Horizon
VMware Horizon 7/8, Workspace ONE, App Volumes, Dynamic Environment Manager. Full virtual desktop infrastructure from design through deployment. Persistent and non-persistent pools, GPU-accelerated desktops for CAD/engineering, RDSH published apps, and Unified Access Gateway for secure remote access.
vSAN & Storage
vSAN 7/8 design and deployment including Express Storage Architecture, stretched clusters, 2-node ROBO configurations, and deduplication/compression tuning. SAN/NAS integration with Pure Storage, NetApp, Dell EMC. NFS datastores, VMFS optimization, and Storage DRS policies.
NSX & Networking
NSX-T Data Center / NSX 4.x design and deployment. Microsegmentation, distributed firewalling, load balancing, VPN services, and network automation. Distributed virtual switches, port groups, traffic shaping, and network I/O control for QoS.
Disaster Recovery
VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) with vSphere Replication and array-based replication. Zerto and Veeam integration for multi-tier DR strategies. Automated failover testing, runbook development, and compliance documentation for RPO/RTO guarantees.
Performance & Capacity
Deep performance analysis using esxtop, vscsiStats, and Aria Operations. CPU ready time optimization, memory ballooning tuning, storage latency troubleshooting, and network throughput analysis. Capacity planning with growth modeling and right-sizing recommendations.
Migration & Upgrades
In-place upgrades, rolling upgrades, and cross-version migrations. P2V conversions, V2V migrations between hypervisors, and cloud migrations to VMware Cloud on AWS or Azure VMware Solution. Zero-downtime migration planning with rollback procedures.
Security Hardening
vSphere Security Configuration Guide implementation, vTPM deployment, VM encryption, encrypted vMotion, and ESXi lockdown mode. STIGs compliance for DoD environments, CIS benchmarks, and automated compliance scanning with Aria Automation.
Hybrid & Multi-Cloud
VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure VMware Solution, and Google Cloud VMware Engine. Hybrid cloud architecture with consistent operations across on-premises and public cloud. HCX for workload mobility.
Backup & Data Protection
Veeam Backup & Replication, Dell Avamar, Cohesity, and Commvault integration with vSphere. VADP-based backup architecture, CBT optimization, instant VM recovery, and SureBackup verification. Immutable backup strategies for ransomware resilience.
VDI That Actually Works.
Most VDI deployments fail because they're designed by people who've read the documentation but never deployed at scale. We've built VDI environments for 50 users and 5,000 users—and we know exactly where the failure points are before they happen.
VMware Horizon, Workspace ONE, App Volumes, DEM, UAG—we deploy the complete stack. Persistent desktops for power users, instant clones for task workers, RDSH for published applications, and GPU-accelerated desktops for engineers and designers who need real graphics performance, not a slideshow.
Task Worker VDI
2 vCPU, 4GB RAM, instant clones, shared RDSH apps. Optimized for call centers, retail, and healthcare clinical stations.
Knowledge Worker VDI
4 vCPU, 8–16GB RAM, persistent desktops, App Volumes, full Office suite. For corporate users who need their own environment.
Power User / GPU VDI
8+ vCPU, 32–64GB RAM, NVIDIA vGPU (A40/L40S), persistent with dedicated profiles. For CAD, 3D modeling, video editing, and data science.
How We Engage
Every VMware engagement starts with understanding your environment—not selling you licenses.
Discovery & Assessment
Full inventory of your VMware environment. Host configurations, vCenter topology, storage layout, networking, licensing, and performance baselines. We find the problems you didn't know you had.
Architecture & Design
Detailed design documents with hardware BOM, network topology, storage architecture, HA/DRS policies, and migration sequencing. Reviewed and approved before a single VM moves.
Deploy & Migrate
Staged deployment with validation gates at every phase. Zero-downtime migrations using vMotion, Storage vMotion, and cross-vCenter vMotion. Rollback procedures tested before go-live.
Optimize & Support
Post-deployment performance tuning, capacity planning, and ongoing managed services. Monthly health checks, quarterly architecture reviews, and 24/7 critical support.
Why IT Directors Choose Us for VMware
We Don't Just Know VMware—We've Lived It
Our engineers have deployed every major vSphere release since ESX 2.5. We've seen the bugs, the breaking changes, the undocumented behaviors. That depth of experience means we solve problems faster and design architectures that survive upgrades.
We Design for the Next 5 Years, Not the Next Quarter
Every architecture we build accounts for growth, version upgrades, and technology shifts. We don't over-provision to cover bad design—we right-size from day one and build in the headroom you'll actually need.
We Own the Outcome
We don't hand you a design document and walk away. We deploy it, validate it, tune it, and support it. If something breaks at 2 AM, we're the ones fixing it—not pointing at a Visio diagram.
Licensing Optimization Is Built In
VMware licensing is a minefield—especially post-Broadcom acquisition. We audit your current licensing, identify waste, and architect solutions that minimize cost without compromising capability. We've saved clients six figures on licensing alone.
Your VMware Environment
Deserves Better.
Whether you're running ESXi 6.7 and need to modernize, deploying VDI for a thousand users, or migrating to vSphere 8—we've done it before and we'll do it right. Schedule a discovery call and let's talk architecture.
