Modernise Virtualisation with HPE VME
KVM-Based Hypervisor
Build a modern virtualisation foundation using HPE VME with infrastructure designed for high-density workloads and enterprise performance.
Predictable Licensing
Move away from restrictive per-core cost models and adopt a more flexible structure that supports growth without constant software cost pressure.
Smooth Migration
Migrate applications, virtual machines, storage, and workloads through careful planning, testing, validation, and rollback-safe execution.
HPE VME Optimisation
Improve HPE VME performance after migration with proactive monitoring, workload tuning, infrastructure optimisation, and ongoing support for long-term stability.
Our Approach to VMware Migration
Every VMware environment is different. Datatech follows a structured, low-risk migration methodology that aligns infrastructure, workload, security, and business continuity requirements before any transition begins.
-
Assessment & Planning
We analyse your existing VMware environment, workloads, dependencies, licensing exposure, infrastructure capacity, and business-critical applications.
-
Migration Planning & Design
We design a tailored migration strategy covering platform readiness, compatibility, security, compliance, downtime windows, and rollback safeguards.
-
Execution & Validation
Our team performs the migration with controlled testing, workload validation, application checks, and performance verification.
-
Optimisation & Support
After migration, we fine-tune performance, monitor infrastructure health, and provide ongoing support to ensure long-term stability.
Designed to Lower Cost and Improve Control
Datatech helps organisations unlock a modern virtualisation environment with better cost predictability, strong workload availability, and optimised infrastructure performance.
Legacy VMware vs HPE VME
Compare the difference in licensing, scalability, and long-term infrastructure flexibility.
- Per-Core LicensingCharges apply per physical core, meaning costs grow rapidly as server density increases or newer high-core processors are deployed.
- Cost Scales with CoresEvery CPU upgrade automatically raises your licensing bill, making infrastructure modernisation financially punishing.
- Broadcom Vendor Lock-inFollowing Broadcom's acquisition, organisations face unpredictable pricing changes and a shrinking product portfolio with little flexibility to exit.
- Complex Licensing TiersMultiple overlapping SKUs and add-on bundles make it difficult to understand true costs, leading to over-licensing and compliance risk.
- Rising Renewal CostsRenewal prices have increased significantly year-on-year, with many organisations reporting jumps of 3–5x on existing agreements post-acquisition.
- Limited Migration SupportVMware provides minimal guidance or tooling for customers looking to migrate to alternative platforms, leaving businesses to manage transitions alone.
- Per-Socket LicensingLicensed per processor socket rather than per core, so you can scale to higher-density servers without any increase to your licensing cost.
- Fixed Cost per ProcessorUpgrade your CPUs as often as needed — your licensing cost stays flat, removing a major barrier to infrastructure modernisation.
- Open & Flexible ArchitectureBuilt on open, industry-standard platforms that integrate with your existing tools, giving you the freedom to adapt without being tied to a single vendor.
- Simplified Licensing ModelA single, straightforward licensing tier eliminates complexity, making procurement, budgeting, and compliance audits significantly easier to manage.
- Stable Long-Term CostsTransparent, consistent renewal pricing means no surprise increases — you can plan infrastructure spend confidently over a multi-year horizon.
- Expert Migration SupportDatatech handles every stage of your migration — from initial assessment and workload planning through to post-go-live tuning and ongoing managed support.
Solutions We Offer
Datatech provides end-to-end VMware migration services designed to reduce cost complexity, improve infrastructure efficiency, and support long-term modernisation.
Seamless Migration from VMware to HPE VME
A structured migration begins with understanding your current virtualisation estate. Datatech helps identify what should move, how it should move, and how to reduce risk throughout the transition.
- VMware workload and dependency assessment
- Infrastructure readiness and compatibility review
- Migration planning for applications, storage, and virtual machines
- Downtime, rollback, and business continuity planning
- Secure migration execution with validation checkpoints
- Post-migration tuning and support
Modernise Virtualisation with Greater Cost Control
Legacy VMware environments can become expensive as infrastructure grows, especially where licensing costs scale with CPU power or core count. Datatech helps businesses evaluate modern alternatives such as HPE VME to achieve more predictable, scalable virtualisation costs.
- Review of existing licensing and cost structure
- Platform comparison and migration feasibility
- HPE VME readiness planning
- High-density server and storage alignment
- Cost optimisation recommendations
- Long-term scalability planning
Protect Performance During Migration
Business-critical workloads require a migration approach that protects uptime, performance, and user experience. Our migration process includes testing, validation, and monitoring to ensure workloads continue operating reliably after transition.
- Application and workload validation
- Performance benchmarking before and after migration
- Migration testing with rollback safety measures
- Data availability checks
- Infrastructure monitoring during transition
- Issue resolution and support during cutover
Ongoing Support for Your New Environment
Migration success does not end at go-live. Datatech provides ongoing support, monitoring, patching, optimisation, and operational guidance to keep your modern virtualisation environment secure, stable, and efficient.
- Implement managed firewall services to protect migrated infrastructure
- Strengthen endpoints with proactive protection across users and workloads
- Conduct vulnerability assessment and penetration testing to identify risk areas
- Improve identity and access security with stronger governance and monitoring
- Continuously monitor the environment for security, performance, and compliance
