VMware Infrastructure – Auditing, Deploying and Supporting vSphere, vSAN, NSX

Professional VMware services: ESXi/vCenter configuration audit, architecture design, turnkey deployment and remote support. vSphere, vSAN, NSX, migration, licensing optimization.

Ensure the stability, performance and resiliency of your VMware vSphere-based virtual environment. We don't just test -- we design architecture, deploy turnkey solutions and follow them 24/7.

** Our services:**

• Configuration audit of ESXi hosts

• Check the settings of hypervisors for compliance with best practices: firmware versions, drivers, security parameters (SSH, lockdown mode), network configuration (vSwitch / VDS).

• Analysis of vCenter clusters and resources
  Evaluate the effectiveness of DRS and HA. Check the affinity/anti-affinity rules, resource allocation (CPU/RAM reservations, limits, shares).

** Checking data storage systems (Datastores)**

• Analyze storage connection (VMFS, vSAN, NFS/iSCSI), multipath status (MPIO), snapshots, disk subsystem performance.

Inventory and lifecycle VM

• Check the relevance of VMware Tools, the version of virtual hardware, the presence of unused ("zombie") machines.

EVC (Enhanced vMotion Compatibility) **
Check whether EVC is enabled on the cluster, whether the mode corresponds to the generations of processors - critical for live migrations without downtime.

**Search for productivity issues **
Identify the causes of brakes: CPU contention, lack of RAM, disk delay (latency), network errors.

** ESXi Security Audit for CIS/STIG**
Check lockdown mode, vCenter certificates, user rights in AD, journaling (syslog), disabled unnecessary services.

• Licensing optimization
  We help you understand how much resources you really need. Eliminate over-provisioning, which saves on licenses and equipment.

**vSAN Health Service – all UI checks (network, discs, versions) **
Storage policies - FTT, stripe width, Object Space Reservation
I/O performance – Disk level delays, read/write cache hit ratio
Disk groups - balance, state rebuild/resync

• NSX
  Overlay network design (Geneve/VXLAN)
  Distributed Firewall, Security Groups
  Integration with the physical network (BGP, Edge clusters)
  Audit of Existing Politicians – Search for “allow any any” rules
