VMware for Business - Licensing, Setup, Maintenance & DR
1iT takes ownership of the full VMware lifecycle: license, architecture, deployment, backup, recovery, DR and support.
Unmanaged VMware = Business Risk
Most businesses that come to us arrive with at least one of these problems:
Without a dedicated professional owner - VMware becomes the problem, not the solution.
1iT - Full VMware Service Ownership
Six services under one ownership - from licensing through ongoing support
VMware Licensing
License matching, renewals and VMware/vSphere advisory through Broadcom

VMware Licensing - No Guesswork, No Surprises
Broadcom acquired VMware and completely changed the licensing model. Without deep expertise, businesses overpay - or worse, operate without proper licensing.
1iT provides: vSphere Foundation, VMware Cloud Foundation, SnS Renewals and Perpetual Licensing - everything your environment needs.

Snapshot is NOT Backup - Real VMware Backup
A VMware Snapshot is not a real backup. It depends on the server, is not protected from hardware failures, and is not tested - meaning you cannot know if it works until you need it.
Recovery Testing must be scheduled, documented and managed. 1iT performs recovery testing for you as part of the service.
Test Your BackupsVMware DR - A Real Recovery Plan, Not Hope
1iT builds VMware DR - what is the RPO, what is the RTO, and how to bring the environment back in an emergency.

How quickly must you recover? - We define and test it
