Server virtualization — less hardware, more performance and flexibility

We consolidate physical servers into virtualized environments — less hardware, lower energy costs, and simpler management. VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Proxmox VE — we match the platform to your requirements and budget.

What we deploy

Virtualization service scope

From virtual environment design through migration of existing systems to high availability deployment — comprehensive virtualization services.

Virtual environment design

Application requirements analysis, virtualization platform and hardware configuration selection. Logical design: clusters, datastores, virtual networks, resource policies. Resource pooling and QoS for critical VMs.

Physical server consolidation

Replacing many physical servers with virtual machines on one or several hosts. Required-resource calculation, migration planning, and post-deployment performance verification.

High availability (HA) and vMotion

HA cluster configuration — automatic VM startup on another host after a failure. vMotion / Live Migration — moving running machines without shutdown. DRS — automatic load balancing across nodes.

HCI — hyperconvergence

HCI platforms (VMware vSAN, Nutanix, Proxmox with Ceph) — compute and storage in a single node cluster. Simpler management, horizontal scalability, no separate array.

P2V and V2V migrations

Migration of physical servers to virtual machines (P2V) and between virtualization platforms (V2V). Migration planning with minimized maintenance windows. Post-migration verification.

VM management and monitoring

Configuration of management tools (vCenter, SCVMM, Proxmox Datacenter Manager). Resource monitoring, alerts for performance issues. Snapshot policies and VM templates.

FAQ

Virtualization questions

VMware vSphere — market leader, broadest capabilities, but high license cost (especially after the Broadcom takeover). Hyper-V — a good option if you already have Windows Server Datacenter licenses. Proxmox VE — open source, no licensing costs, full HA and clustering features — increasingly popular for VMware migration.
At least 2 virtualization hosts — when one fails, VMs start on the other. We recommend 3 hosts for better resource utilization and quorum. For HCI environments with vSAN/Ceph — at least 3 nodes.
We use migration tools (VMware vCenter Converter, Disk2vhd, Clonezilla). We create a copy of the physical server as a VM, test operation, and then switch production to the VM during a maintenance window. Migration time depends on disk size — usually a few hours per server.
In a well-designed environment — the difference is imperceptible or negligible. Modern CPUs have hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-x, AMD-V). Performance depends on proper vCPU and RAM allocation to VMs and on storage performance. Some applications (databases, ERP) require extra configuration.
