Virtualization and Hypervisors

We need to decide what our virtualization platform looks like next.

For CIO, CTO, VP of infrastructure, virtualization teams

Talk to us about thisHow it works
First, you receiveAssessInventory and lifecycle findings · A recommendation · A fixed-scope proposal for the build
Timing and scopeStart with a fixed-fee assessment of the platforms in scope. Durations and methods are confirmed during scoping.
What happens nextA written recommendation. If you proceed, a scoped proposal for the next stage.

Licensing changes, hardware refreshes and hybrid plans are pushing many organizations to rethink their hypervisor. Moving platforms touches every workload, backup job and operational process, so the choice and the migration both need evidence. We review your platform, licensing and capacity, compare the options and costs, and then build the new clusters and move workloads, or upgrade what you have.

How we work

What we do

Open a step to see what happens and what you receive.

Platforms we support
  • VMware vSphere, ESXi and vCenter
  • VMware Cloud Foundation
  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • Azure Local
  • Nutanix AHV
  • Proxmox VE
  • KVM and QEMU
  • Citrix Hypervisor
  • Platform9 (Conditional)

Conditional platforms are supported, subject to a scoping review of version, licensing and vendor support status, confirmed before we commit to the work.

Assess (fixed fee)
  • Platform, licensing and capacity review
  • Options and cost comparison

You receive: findings on the platforms in scope, a recommendation and a fixed-scope proposal.

Build (fixed scope)
  • New cluster design and deployment
  • Workload migration between platforms

You receive: validated platforms, handed over with documentation and runbooks.

Support (optional, ongoing)
  • Upgrades and lifecycle management
  • Capacity and performance reviews

Each step stands on its own. Support is not required after a Build.

Typical projects
  • VMware renewal options study and business case
  • Migration from VMware to Hyper-V, Azure Local, Nutanix or Proxmox
  • New cluster builds on refreshed hardware
  • vSphere and VMware Cloud Foundation upgrades

Outcomes

What you can expect

  • A platform decision backed by cost and risk evidenceAssessment
  • Workloads moved without disruptionImplementation
  • Clusters sized for the next refresh cycleImplementation

Each outcome is labelled with the stage that delivers it. An assessment or advisory engagement on its own does not include the implementation work.

Questions leaders ask

Do you support our platform?

Standard platforms, yes. Conditional platforms, yes, subject to a scoping review of version, licensing and vendor support status that we confirm before we commit. If a platform is not listed, we will confirm whether we can take it on.

What do we get from the assessment?

Findings on the platforms in scope, a recommendation and a fixed-scope proposal for the build. It is fixed fee and stands on its own.

Can you supply the hardware?

Yes. Kalosys provides hardware, procurement and ongoing maintenance as part of its engagements where needed, confirmed in the proposal.

Is Support required after a Build?

No. Each step stands on its own.

Should we just renew VMware?

That may be the right answer. The options study shows what renewal costs against the alternatives, so it is a decision rather than a default.

Why it matters nowThe numbers behind this
86%of enterprises surveyed are actively reducing their VMware footprint (Source: CloudBolt Software survey of 302 North American IT decision-makers, published February 2026)
