VMware Architecture,
Architect-Led.

Our architects led VMware's own Professional Services practice. We have designed, deployed, and optimized some of the largest VMware environments in the world since the earliest days of the platform.

Deep Platform Expertise

We do not advise from the sidelines. Our team has been hands-on with VMware since the earliest ESX releases, through every major platform evolution, up to and including vCloud Foundation 9.x. That depth means we solve problems others cannot even diagnose.

Legacy Recovery & Migration

vSphere 6.5/6.7 repair, VMFS datastore recovery, and zero-downtime migration paths to vSphere 8. We rescue environments others walk away from.

Modern Platform Optimization

Performance tuning, Distributed Services Engine, cluster resource balancing, and right-sizing. Reduce sprawl while increasing capacity.

Storage & Network Architecture

NVMe over Fabrics, vSAN design, Distributed vSwitch troubleshooting, and NSX-T microsegmentation at scale.

Hybrid & Multi-Cloud

VMware Cloud on AWS, Azure VMware Solution, and HCX migrations. Extend your datacenter without re-platforming.

Why AuthorityGate for VMware

Most consultancies assign mid-level engineers to VMware projects. We assign architects who built VMware's own professional services methodology. The difference shows in outcomes.

Former VMware PS Leadership

Our lead architects designed the delivery methodology that VMware used globally for their own professional services engagements.

Legacy-to-Modern Specialists

We handle the migrations no one else will touch. vSphere 5.x environments with VMFS3 datastores, aging ESXi hosts, and undocumented network configs.

End-to-End Ownership

From initial assessment through production cutover and post-migration optimization. One team, one engagement, zero handoffs.

Broadcom Transition Guidance

Navigate the VMware-to-Broadcom licensing changes, evaluate vCF bundling, and optimize your renewal strategy with architects who understand both sides.

How We Engage

01

Assess & Design

Full environment audit, architecture review, and remediation roadmap. We document what exists, what is broken, and what the target state looks like.

02

Build & Migrate

Zero-downtime migration execution with rollback plans at every stage. We build the new platform while the old one stays running.

03

Optimize & Transfer

Post-migration performance tuning, knowledge transfer, and runbook creation. Your team inherits a production-ready environment with documentation.

Ready to Start

Let's Architect Your
VMware Future.

Whether you need a legacy rescue, a vCF 9.x migration, or a hybrid cloud strategy — our architects bring the depth that only comes from building VMware's own practice.
