Virtualisation and cloud, delivered by people who have done it for twenty years.

Consolidation, migration, virtual desktops, storage, networking, backup and disaster recovery — across on-premises, colocation and public cloud, with the design written down before anything moves.

Capability

The same work, for twenty years.

Virta was formed to bring enterprise-grade infrastructure to organisations that could not justify an enterprise-sized team. Large companies spend years and millions designing resilient, efficient platforms; our position has always been that a growing business can adopt the same proven patterns in weeks, tailored to what it genuinely needs.

That work has not changed as much as the vocabulary around it. Consolidation, capacity, availability, recovery and cost of ownership are the same problems whether the workload is a database, a desktop or a language model. What has changed is that the platform is no longer a given — and choosing it badly is now an expensive mistake rather than an awkward one.

Every engagement is delivered by senior consultants, documented at handover, and built so that your team can run it afterwards if you would rather they did.

Where we are strongest

Twenty years, condensed

Consolidating server sprawl onto a platform that can be managed.
Migrating between platforms and between data centres without an unplanned outage.
Recovery plans that have been tested, and restores that have been proven.
Branch and remote estates where the link is the weakest component.
Cost of ownership work: what the estate costs now, and what the alternatives would.

Service catalogue

What we design, build and hand over.

Each of these can stand alone as a project, or be absorbed into a managed service afterwards.

01 Consolidation & migration Bring unmanaged server sprawl under control, retire what is no longer earning its place, and move workloads between platforms, hosts or data centres with a plan that has been rehearsed. Project

02 Virtualisation platforms Design, build and tuning of the hypervisor layer across VMware, Proxmox, KVM and Hyper-V — including the licensing arithmetic that decides which one is correct. Project / ongoing

03 Business systems on shared infrastructure Enterprise applications and databases consolidated onto a platform that can be patched, backed up and capacity-planned as one estate rather than eight snowflakes. Project

04 Virtual desktops & app delivery Centralised desktop and application delivery for staff who need control, isolation or consistency — or for branches where a managed laptop is the wrong answer. Project

05 Business continuity & disaster recovery Availability and recovery designed around what the business can tolerate losing, with replication, immutable copies and restore testing that has actually been run in front of you. Project / ongoing

06 Remote, branch & edge Many required, thin, poorly connected sites controlled from one place — without a server in every cupboard or an engineer on every flight. Project / ongoing

07 Density, power & efficiency Getting more useful work out of the rack and the circuit you already pay for. Still the cheapest capacity you will ever buy, and now the constraint that limits private AI. Assessment

08 Development & test environments Copy-on-write lab environments built from production templates, so testing stops happening in production and stops being an excuse for delay. Project

09 Service providers & hosting Platform work for organisations who host on behalf of others: tenancy separation, on-demand delivery, capacity and the economics underneath it. Project

Platform choice

Which platform, decided in the open.

We are not neutral in the sense of having no opinion. We are neutral in the sense of having no quota to fill — the recommendation comes with the trade-offs attached, and you decide with them in front of you.

Typical reasoning. The right answer always depends on the estate, the skills available and the licensing you already hold.
Platform	Choose it when	The trade-off
VMware vSphere	The estate is already built on it, your team is certified, and the tooling around it — backup, monitoring, automation — is doing real work.	Per-core subscription cost, and a vendor relationship worth reviewing at every renewal.
Proxmox VE	The feature set you need is standard, the licence line is a real cost, and you have people comfortable in Linux.	Fewer commercial integrations, and support is your responsibility or a subscription.
Microsoft Hyper-V	You are already licensed for it, the workloads are Windows, and operational simplicity beats headline features.	Thinner ecosystem for large-scale automation and third-party tooling.
KVM / other open stacks	Commodity hardware, custom automation, or a hosting platform where density and cost per tenant decide the design.	Everything is yours to operate, including the parts a commercial product would have covered.
Public cloud	Variable demand, geographic reach, or a workload whose value is not in running infrastructure.	Recurring cost that never stops, egress, and data residency to design around.

The estate the AI lands on.

Private AI is a workload, not a separate universe. It needs the same things everything else in your environment needs: capacity, storage, segmentation, identity, backup and someone accountable when it stops working.

If the foundation work has not been done, that is the first project — and usually the one that pays for itself whether or not the AI ever ships.

Private AI Managed services

No surprises

How projects are run

Assess before design, design before build.
Change windows agreed around your business hours, not ours.
Rollback defined before cutover begins.
Documentation and credentials handed over at completion — yours to keep.
Nothing purchased until the design is signed off.

What is the estate doing that it should not be?

Most infrastructure problems are visible from outside before they are visible from inside. A short call is usually enough to find the first two.
