Virtualization migration consulting.
We assess your VMware environment, compare platforms, and migrate servers and applications. Each move includes testing, a planned cutover, and a rollback procedure.
Plan your next virtualization platform
A renewal, hardware refresh, or consolidation is a good time to review your virtualization environment. We compare the costs and operational requirements of staying, moving, or using a mix of platforms.
We review application dependencies, storage, networking, backups, licensing, and the skills your team will need. You receive platform recommendations and a migration scope with costs, risks, and a proposed schedule.
Platforms we evaluate
Proxmox VE
A virtualization option for virtual machines and containers. We review hardware, storage, backup, and support requirements for your environment.
Hyper‑V and Azure Local
Microsoft virtualization options. We assess application compatibility, management tools, and licensing for the deployment you need.
Nutanix AHV
An option for integrated compute and storage. We assess sizing, migration requirements, and ongoing operations.
XCP‑ng
Virtualization with Xen Orchestra management. We review storage design, backup integration, and the transition for your administrators.
Public cloud
AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud where the application fits. We compare migration effort, connectivity, and ongoing costs.
Migration services
Support for the complete migration or a specific stage, from platform assessment to cutover and team handover.
Hypervisor migration (V2V)
Move virtual machines from vSphere and ESXi to your chosen platform. We handle conversion, drivers, storage, and networking, then test with non‑critical workloads before moving production systems in agreed maintenance windows.
Physical to virtual (P2V)
Convert physical servers to virtual machines as part of a hardware refresh or consolidation. Check application compatibility and performance before retiring the original server.
Cloud migration (V2C)
Move suitable workloads to the cloud. We assess conversion requirements, size the destination, configure networking, and estimate operating costs.
Virtual desktop migration
Plan and migrate virtual desktop environments, including user profiles, application delivery, access, and performance testing.
Backup, replication, and DR
Plan backup and replication alongside the migration, using platforms such as Veeam, Rubrik, or Commvault. Verify compatibility, document recovery procedures, and test restores.
Include backups in the migration plan
A platform change can affect backup jobs, retention, and recovery options. We review those dependencies and test restores before retiring the old environment. Ongoing managed backup is available through Ohio BDR.
From assessment to handover
-
Assess
Inventory virtual machines, application dependencies, and licenses. Compare platform options, migration effort, and ongoing costs.
-
Pilot
Configure the target platform and migrate representative non‑critical workloads. Test conversion, performance, backups, and rollback.
-
Migrate in waves
Move production systems in planned groups during agreed maintenance windows. Confirm dependencies and rollback procedures for each stage.
-
Validate and cut over
Confirm application access, performance, backups, and monitoring with your team before retiring the old systems.
-
Hand over
Provide configuration records, operating procedures, and training so your team can manage the new environment.
