Server Virtualization with VMware, Hyper-V & Proxmox
Run your servers on VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or Proxmox VE: less hardware cost, simpler management and faster recovery.
Virtualization: why and how
In most companies every service runs on its own server, and most of those servers use only a fraction of their capacity. Virtualization consolidates these services onto a few powerful hosts, cutting hardware, power and space costs and making management simpler.
The biggest benefit, though, is how fast you can recover: snapshot a machine before any change, restart services on another host when one fails, and back up whole machines simply and reliably.
ITPlus724 works with all three major platforms, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V and Proxmox VE. We recommend and deploy the right one for your needs, budget and team skills, migrate between platforms, and plan physical-to-virtual migrations so daily work does not stop.

When do you need Virtualization?
Your servers are reaching end of life
Instead of buying several new servers, we consolidate services on a virtual platform.
Every server change feels risky
With snapshots and VM backups, rolling back takes minutes.
One server failure stops everything
With high availability, services carry on on another host.
How support is set up and priced
A clear scope
Before we start, the systems, equipment and tasks the contract covers are put in writing.
Response times in the contract
Response times for critical and routine issues are set in the contract, based on how critical your systems are.
Regular reports
You receive reports on the work done and the state of your infrastructure, and with the early warning system, a daily status of servers and backups. Learn more
