Book Licensing ReviewNavigating the New Era of Virtualisation
The virtualisation landscape has shifted. With the consolidation of the VMware portfolio under Broadcom, Victorian businesses face a new reality of subscription-based licensing and bundled capabilities. Intellect IT provides the strategic guidance required to navigate these changes, moving you from legacy perpetual models to a streamlined VCF architecture.
Core Consolidation
We conduct forensic audits of your vSphere environment to identify “zombie” VMs and over-provisioned resources. By right-sizing your compute footprint, we reduce your core count and lower annual subscription costs.
vSAN Modernisation
Eliminate expensive external storage arrays. We deploy vSAN to pool local storage into a high-performance datastore, reducing rack space and power consumption while improving I/O throughput.
NSX Zero Trust
Perimeter firewalls are not enough. We implement NSX micro-segmentation to bring security inside the data centre, ensuring that if a web server is compromised, the attacker cannot pivot to your database.
The Intellect IT Optimisation Pipeline
A structured approach to modernising your estate in the Broadcom era.
Audit & Assess
Deep-dive analysis of current CPU/RAM utilisation to define the exact core licensing required.
Architect
Design a VCF or VVF stack that bundles management, storage, and networking efficiently.
Migrate
Seamless workload mobility from legacy hosts or Hyper-V to the new optimised cluster.
Govern
Ongoing lifecycle management and patching to ensure compliance and performance.
Unified Cloud Architecture
This architecture illustrates the seamless bridge between on-premise vSphere environments and public clouds. Intellect IT implements this model to ensure consistent operations, security, and governance across your entire hybrid estate.
Modernisation Pathways
We guide you through the critical decision points of modernising your applications. Whether re-hosting, re-platforming, or refactoring, our engineering team ensures the underlying infrastructure supports your specific business outcomes.
The Broadcom Efficiency Shift
Moving from legacy infrastructure to a modern Intellect IT-managed VMware stack delivers measurable operational improvements.
| Feature | Legacy Physical Infrastructure | Intellect IT Optimised VMware |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware Utilisation | 15-20% Average | 80-90% Efficient |
| Disaster Recovery | Manual, Hours to Days | Automated, Minutes |
| Storage Management | Complex SAN Arrays | vSAN Software-Defined |
| Security Model | Perimeter Only | NSX Zero Trust Internal |
| Licensing Model | High CapEx, Unpredictable | Optimised Subscription OpEx |
VMware Licensing & Technical FAQ
The move to subscription-only licensing means perpetual keys are no longer available. Intellect IT helps you bundle capabilities (like vCenter, vSAN, and TKG) into a single VVF or VCF subscription, ensuring you don’t pay for disconnected tools you don’t use.
Yes. We provide automated migration services that convert Hyper-V workloads to vSphere with minimal downtime, allowing you to standardise on a more robust and secure hypervisor platform.
VCF is a unified stack that bundles compute (vSphere), storage (vSAN), and networking (NSX) into a single platform. This simplifies upgrades, improves security, and provides a consistent operational model for hybrid cloud.
vSAN allows you to use standard server disks (NVMe/SSD) to create a shared storage pool. This eliminates the need to buy proprietary, expensive SAN arrays from third-party storage vendors, reducing both CapEx and rack space fees.
Yes. We architect high-performance Horizon Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments that allow your staff to access their secure corporate desktop from anywhere, on any device, without VPN lag.
As part of our Expert Care service, we manage the lifecycle of your ESXi hosts and vCenter servers. We test patches in our lab before deployment to ensure no disruption to your production workloads.
Absolutely. The vSphere Foundation (VVF) edition is specifically sized for small to mid-sized enterprises, providing enterprise-grade reliability and recovery tools without the complexity of the full cloud stack.
