VIRTUALIZATION

Run five servers on one. Back up all of them in seconds.

Server virtualization consolidates your infrastructure, slashes hardware costs and gives you snapshot-based backup — without the complexity of managing more physical machines.

WHAT YOU GAIN

Real numbers, real savings

Hardware consolidation

5–10 servers on one physical host. Lower power consumption, cooling costs, rack space and maintenance overhead.

Snapshot-based backup

Full VM snapshots in seconds. Restore a server to yesterday's state in minutes, not hours. No more bare-metal reinstalls.

Live migration & HA

Move running VMs between hosts with zero downtime. When a host fails, VMs restart automatically on surviving nodes.

What we work with

XCP-ng — our primary recommendation for new deployments. Open-source Xen hypervisor maintained by Vates, enterprise-grade without the enterprise price tag. Zero licensing cost, production-proven clustering, live migration and high availability out of the box. Pairs with Xen Orchestra for a complete management platform.

VMware ESXi — for clients already invested in VMware or with specific compatibility requirements (vSphere, vSAN, Horizon). We design and migrate vSphere clusters, not just single hosts.

Microsoft Hyper-V — when the environment is predominantly Windows and the team is already managing it. Hyper-V with Windows Server clusters, Hyper-V Replica for DR.

Proxmox VE — open-source hypervisor (KVM + LXC) with solid web UI and an active community. A good fit when teams are already familiar with it or prefer the KVM stack.

What we do

New deployments: We size the hardware properly — no under-spec servers that need replacing in 18 months, no over-spec hardware that gathers dust. We configure storage (local, SAN, NFS, Ceph), networking (VLAN-backed bridges, bonding, dedicated storage network) and cluster HA from day one.

Migrations: Physical-to-virtual (P2V) migrations of existing servers with minimal downtime. We also handle platform-to-platform migrations — the most common being ESXi environments moved to an XCP-ng cluster with shared storage. We handle Windows, Linux and legacy systems. We’ve migrated servers nobody remembered the root password for.

Backup: Veeam for VMware/Hyper-V, Xen Orchestra backup for XCP-ng, Proxmox Backup Server for Proxmox. Daily incrementals, weekly fulls, offsite replication. Recovery time objectives defined in the contract, not implied.

Ongoing management: Cluster health monitoring, node updates, storage capacity planning. We manage the hypervisor so you don’t have to think about it.

IN PLAIN TERMS

One powerful computer pretending to be many

Instead of buying five separate servers for five separate jobs, virtualization lets one powerful machine act as five — each isolated from the others, each running its own operating system. If one virtual server crashes, the others keep running. If the physical hardware fails, we bring the virtual machines back up on a spare host in minutes, not days.
