Server virtualization is an infrastructure service that divides the resources of a single physical server into multiple isolated virtual servers. We select the platform that fits your workload and licensing position, build the virtualization environment and move your existing servers in a planned migration.
WHAT IT DELIVERS
We consolidate half-idle physical servers onto fewer hosts. Rack space, energy and cooling needs all go down together.
When we build the hosts as a cluster, virtual machines restart on another host if a server fails. For maintenance, virtual machines can also be moved without shutting them down.
You do not wait for a hardware order for a new application. A virtual server is created from a template, and its resources are increased as needed.
We assess the platform choice for tomorrow’s flexibility as much as today’s cost. Where needed, we migrate from one platform to another in a planned, reversible way.
SCOPE
Components we install and configure in a virtualization project:
PROCESS
We measure the CPU, memory, disk and network usage of your servers and map the dependencies between applications. We also review your license agreements with you at this stage.
We set the platform and number of hosts based on workload, existing licenses and your team’s experience. We share the decision and its rationale in writing.
Hosts, storage, virtual network and cluster are set up; failure scenarios (host shutdown, disk removal) are tested on site.
We move virtual machines in order of priority, outside business hours and in waves. Every wave has a rollback plan.
We hand over with administration training, documentation and backup validation, and set up the maintenance plan.
TECHNICAL NOTES
After Broadcom acquired VMware, perpetual license sales ended and licensing moved to a core-based subscription model. Products were consolidated into fewer bundles. This change led many organizations to evaluate alternatives at renewal time. There is no single right answer; we review your current agreement and workload with you and compare the options.
Hyper-V is a role of Windows Server. In Windows-heavy environments, it is a strong option when existing Windows Server licenses are assessed together with their virtual machine rights. Proxmox VE is open source; a separate subscription is offered for enterprise support and the update repository. It stands out in Linux-heavy environments or where built-in backup is wanted.
Changing platforms is more than copying virtual machines. Virtual drivers, network adapters and guest tools are updated for the new platform. The ESXi import tool introduced with Proxmox VE 8.2 and conversion tools for Hyper-V speed up the work. Even so, bringing each critical server up in a test environment first, then moving it to production, reduces the risk.
LAYER
This service sits on layer 4 of the building and is designed together with the other systems on that layer.

FAQ
Server virtualization means running multiple independent virtual servers on one physical server. It lets you use hardware more efficiently, run virtual machines on another host when one fails and bring up new servers quickly. Our Ankara-based team builds and migrates this infrastructure across Türkiye.
Both are hypervisors widely used in enterprise environments; the main difference is the licensing model and the ecosystem. VMware is licensed through a separate subscription, while Hyper-V comes with Windows Server. Management tools, backup software support and your team’s experience also influence the choice.
The options most often evaluated are Microsoft Hyper-V and Proxmox VE. Some organizations prefer to stay on VMware and restructure their license scope. The right option depends on your workload, your existing licenses and the effort the migration will take.
Migration runs through inventory, a trial in a test environment and moving in waves. Virtual disks are converted to the new platform’s format, and drivers and network settings are updated. We keep the rollback option open in every wave.
Yes, Hyper-V comes as a role of Windows Server. The license, however, determines how many Windows virtual machines can run on it: the Standard edition grants rights to 2 Windows virtual machines, while the Datacenter edition grants unlimited rights. For an exact calculation, core counts and current licensing terms should be assessed together.
