Server & virtualization

Hosts sized for the workload, clustered for failure, and patched on a schedule.

ClearPath engineers

Virtualization is where small design mistakes get expensive: under-sized hosts, no failure domain planning, snapshots left running for months. We size against measured utilization, build clusters that survive a host loss, and take over the patch and lifecycle work that otherwise slips.

How we do the work

01 · Assess

We baseline CPU, memory, storage, and growth.

02 · Architect

We design host count, cluster topology, and storage layout.

03 · Deploy

We build clusters alongside production and migrate in waves.

04 · Configure

We configure and test HA, replication, alerting, and backup.

05 · Maintain

We own patching, firmware, capacity, and an annual failover test.

What the engagement includes

  • Utilization baseline and capacity model
  • Cluster and storage architecture
  • Migration execution with per-group rollback
  • HA, replication, and backup integration
  • Patch, firmware, and capacity management

What you are left holding

  • Capacity and sizing model
  • Cluster build and configuration documentation
  • Migration runbook and results log
  • Quarterly capacity and health report

Documentation is yours to keep, whether or not we keep working together.

You probably need this if…

  • Hosts at capacity with no headroom for a failure
  • Platform running builds that are out of support
  • Snapshots and orphaned disks nobody has cleaned up

How you engage us

Same engineers either way. The difference is how much of the ongoing work stays with your team.

Option 01 · Project

Fixed scope, fixed outcome. We assess, architect, deploy, and hand over with documentation. Your team runs it from there.

Option 02 · Most common · Co-managed

We own the design, the hard changes, and after-hours cover. Your team keeps day-to-day control with our engineers on call.

Option 03 · Fully managed

End-to-end ownership against an SLA: monitoring, maintenance, and reporting, with a named engineer who knows your environment.

Let's scope Server & virtualization against your environment.

An hour with one of our engineers gets you a realistic scope, a timeline, and an honest read on what to do first.
