Virtualization

Virtual machine platforms, desktops and tools that let a few physical servers run many isolated workloads.

Virtualization decides how well your servers are used and how quickly a failed host is replaced. We design and automate KVM, Proxmox VE and VMware environments, build self-service portals for creating VMs, and write the tooling that moves workloads between hypervisors, which matters now that many teams are reviewing their VMware licences.

What we build

Proxmox VE and KVM clusters with shared storage and live migration
Self-service portals where teams create VMs within approved quotas
Migration tooling to move VMs from VMware ESXi to Proxmox VE or OpenStack
Virtual desktops for remote staff, served from central images
Golden images and VM templates rebuilt automatically with Packer
Capacity reports showing CPU, memory and storage headroom per host

What it does well

High availability

VMs on a failed host restart elsewhere in the cluster without anyone stepping in.

Live migration

Hosts are patched by moving running VMs off them first, while users keep working.

Quotas and approvals

Teams create their own VMs inside limits, and larger requests go for approval.

Template library

Hardened, patched base images keep every new VM consistent from its first boot.

Snapshot policies

Scheduled snapshots and replication give each VM a recovery point that suits its value.

API automation

Everything in the portal is also available through an API and Terraform provider.

Questions

Should we move off VMware?

It depends on your licence costs, the features you actually use and your team’s skills. We list what each VM depends on, test the workloads on Proxmox VE or OpenStack, and give you a written comparison of cost, effort and risk before anything is moved.

Virtual machines or containers?

Containers suit applications built to run that way and scale quickly. VMs remain the right home for Windows servers, legacy software, tightly tuned databases and anything needing its own kernel. Most estates use both, often with Kubernetes running inside VMs.

Can you build virtual desktops for remote staff?

Yes. We set up central desktop images with your applications, connect them through a gateway with single sign-on and multi-factor login, and size the hosts from a pilot group so desktops stay responsive at the busiest time of day.
