Datacenter, Storage & Virtualization

Renewals changed. Your options are wider than your incumbent suggests.

Datacenter, Storage & Virtualization

Broadcom's repackaging of VMware moved a lot of Indian enterprises from a predictable line item to a renewal they cannot defend to finance. At the same time the hosts are ageing, the SAN is filling, and the backup job reports success every night for a restore nobody has attempted in two years.

We model the renewal honestly, including staying put where that genuinely wins, and price it against Nutanix, Proxmox and Hyper-V on your actual workload profile rather than on a vendor's reference architecture. Whatever the platform, we test the restore before we call the project finished, because a backup you have not restored is a hypothesis.

What we deliver

  • Renewal and licensing modelling across VMware, Nutanix, Proxmox and Hyper-V on your real VM counts
  • Hypervisor migration with workload-by-workload cutover and rollback
  • Storage sizing and refresh, including capacity and IOPS headroom planning
  • Backup and disaster recovery design with documented, witnessed restore testing
  • Datacentre and comms-room consolidation, including power and cooling review

Technology we work with

We stay vendor-neutral and select against your requirement, not a quota. These are the platforms we deploy and support most often in this area.

Outcomes you can expect

  • A renewal decision you can defend line by line to finance
  • Restore times measured in a test, not estimated in a meeting
  • Fewer hosts carrying more workload, with headroom you can see
