Why Virtualize with Our Team?
**Virtualization Goal**
**Technology Used**
**Our Value**
Maximize ROI
**VMware ESXi / Hyper-V**
Consolidate multiple servers, slashing power and cooling costs.
Ensure Uptime
**High Availability (HA) & DRS**
Automatically recover servers from host failures and balance workloads.
Future-Proofing
**Live Migration (vMotion)**
Move running virtual machines between hosts with zero downtime for maintenance.
Our 5-Step Virtualization Delivery Procedure
1
Platform & Resource Planning
The Sizing Blueprint- **Platform Selection:** Choose the ideal solution (**VMware vSphere** or **Microsoft Hyper-V**) based on licensing and required features.
- **Physical Host Sizing:** Calculate the exact physical server resources (CPU, RAM, I/O) needed for all target **VMs**, plus a redundancy buffer.
- **Storage Mapping & Allocation:** Define how **SAN/NAS** volumes will be presented to the hypervisors as **Datastores**.
- **Licensing Plan:** Determine the most cost-efficient licensing model for the hypervisor and guest operating systems.
2
Hypervisor Installation & Networking
The Foundation Build- **Host Preparation:** Install the bare-metal hypervisor (**ESXi** or **Hyper-V Server**) onto the physical hosts.
- **Cluster Configuration:** Group the hosts into a high-availability cluster and install the central management server.
- **Storage Connectivity:** Connect the hosts to the shared storage volumes using iSCSI or Fibre Channel.
- **Virtual Networking Setup:** Configure **vSwitches** and port groups, aligning with the physical **LAN** for segmented traffic (management, **vMotion**/Live Migration, VM data).
3
Virtual Machine Deployment & Hardening
The VM Provisioning- **VM Creation & Allocation:** Provision new **VMs** by defining virtual hardware (vCPUs, vRAM, vDisks) from templates.
- **Integration Tools:** Install **VMware Tools** or **Hyper-V Integration Services** on every VM for optimal performance.
- **Resource Management:** Apply advanced controls (Reservations, Limits) to guarantee performance for critical applications.
- **Security Baseline:** Apply security hardening guidelines to both the hypervisor hosts and the **VMs**.
4
Testing & Resiliency Validation
The Stress Test- **Performance Benchmarking:** Execute I/O tests to confirm that key applications meet the target **IOPS** and latency metrics.
- **HA Simulation:** Simulate a host failure to verify the cluster automatically restarts all its running **VMs**.
- **Migration Test:** Execute **vMotion** or **Live Migration** to confirm seamless movement of **VMs** across the cluster.
- **Recovery Validation:** Test the recovery process by restoring a non-critical **VM** from backup to validate the **DR** strategy.
5
Handover, Monitoring, and Scaling
The Operation & Support- **Management Training:** Comprehensive training on the management console (**vCenter** or **SCVMM**) for daily operations.
- **Monitoring Integration:** Deploy tools to provide real-time alerts for high utilization of physical resources.
- **Patch and Lifecycle Plan:** Establish a process for regularly patching the hypervisor hosts and guest OSs.
- **Long-Term Support:** Provide specialized support SLAs covering virtualization incidents, host failures, and capacity expansion.
