Not every organisation is ready to migrate right now — and not every situation calls for the same response. Sometimes you need independent, expert advice before committing to a direction: a second opinion on a vendor proposal, a clear-eyed cost analysis, or a strategic roadmap that accounts for your actual constraints.
We're not paid by VMware or Broadcom. We'll tell you what we actually think — including if staying on VMware is the right call for your specific situation.
Who this is for
SMEs evaluating their options
If you're trying to understand what Broadcom's licensing changes mean for your next renewal, whether a migration makes financial sense, or what it would actually involve — we can help you think it through without committing to anything.
Typically a half-day workshop + written findings report
CSPs & MSPs
VMware's VCSP discontinuation changed the economics of reselling VMware-based cloud. We work with service providers to evaluate their platform options, model the commercial impact, and build a strategy for transitioning to or launching a Proxmox-based offering.
Typically a multi-week commercial and technical engagement
Our advisory pillars
Assessment & consulting
We review your environment, licensing agreements, and cost structure. We model the TCO of staying vs leaving, identify migration risks, and deliver a findings report with specific, actionable recommendations.
Deployment & engineering
When you're ready to move, we design and build the target environment to production standards: reference architecture, storage, networking, HA. Engineered for where you'll be in three years.
Service strategy & cost optimisation
For MSPs and CSPs: pricing models, service tiers, onboarding processes, and tooling for a Proxmox-based cloud offering. We've helped service providers build profitable platforms from the ground up.
Ongoing maintenance & support
Advisory doesn't have to end at delivery. Fractional advisory retainers give you a trusted infrastructure partner on call — for second opinions, vendor negotiations, and decisions as they arise.
What you get
Vendor-neutral advice — no Broadcom or VMware relationship to protect
Senior engineers with real migration experience at scale
Written deliverables at every engagement — not just conversations
Honest assessment, even if the answer is "don't migrate yet"
