Virtualisation & HCI

Virtualisation reduces physical server count, simplifies management, and enables workload flexibility. We design and deploy VMware, Hyper-V, and Nutanix environments — sized correctly, tested properly, and handed over with training.

Solution Overview

What Kerox delivers for virtualisation & hci

Physical server sprawl inflates hardware costs, energy consumption, and maintenance complexity — while limiting the workload flexibility modern businesses need. Kerox delivers virtualisation and hyperconverged infrastructure deployments that are right-sized to your workloads, configured for high availability, and handed over with full documentation and practical admin training.

VMware vSphere Deployment

ESXi host installation, vCenter Server deployment, cluster configuration, HA and DRS setup — sized, deployed, tested, documented, and handed over with admin training.

  • ESXi and vCenter installation
  • Cluster and HA configuration
  • DRS and vMotion setup
  • Storage and network integration

Microsoft Hyper-V Deployment

Hyper-V host configuration, Windows Server Failover Clustering, live migration setup, and Windows Admin Center management — a cost-effective option for Microsoft-centric environments.

  • Hyper-V host setup
  • WSFC configuration
  • Live migration and HA testing
  • SCVMM or WAC management setup

Nutanix HCI Deployment

Nutanix Foundation cluster imaging, AOS configuration, Prism Central deployment, and workload migration — delivering a platform that eliminates the need for separate SAN infrastructure.

  • Foundation and AOS deployment
  • Prism Central setup
  • Storage policy configuration
  • Workload migration and validation

Azure Stack HCI

Microsoft's hyperconverged platform extending Azure management to on-premises infrastructure — for organisations invested in Azure seeking consistent hybrid management.

  • Azure Stack HCI sizing
  • Cluster deployment
  • Azure integration and Arc setup
  • Workload migration

Server Consolidation & P2V Migration

Migration of physical servers into virtual machines — reducing hardware footprint, simplifying management, and enabling flexible resource allocation across the cluster.

  • Physical server inventory
  • P2V tool selection
  • VM migration and validation
  • Decommission planning

High Availability & Cluster Design

HA configuration ensuring VMs automatically restart on surviving hosts after a host failure — with documented failover behaviour and tested recovery procedures.

  • HA architecture design
  • Cluster configuration
  • Failover test execution
  • HA runbook documentation

vSAN & Software-Defined Storage

VMware vSAN configuration for clusters requiring converged compute and storage without a separate SAN — sized for capacity, performance, and fault tolerance requirements.

  • vSAN sizing and design
  • Disk group configuration
  • Storage policy setup
  • Performance validation

Virtualisation Admin Training

Practical training for your IT administrators on the deployed virtualisation platform — covering VM management, cluster operations, snapshot policy, and common troubleshooting.

  • Platform-specific training
  • Hands-on lab exercises
  • Common scenarios walkthrough
  • Q&A and admin guide

Virtualisation Assessment

Assessment of whether your environment is a good candidate for virtualisation, which platform fits best, and what the consolidation ratio and TCO implications would be.

  • Current server inventory
  • Workload profiling
  • Platform comparison
  • Consolidation modelling

How we deliver every virtualisation & hci project

Every Kerox engagement follows a structured delivery approach — from the first discovery call to final documentation handover. You know what's happening at every stage, and nothing is signed off until it has been validated.
