IT Infrastructure, Virtualization & Storage
Hypervisor Installation & Configuration
Clean installation and configuration of your chosen hypervisor, whether VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Proxmox VE or KVM, with networking, storage and security set up correctly.
Overview
Why it matters
for your business.
The hypervisor is the foundation everything else runs on. A rushed installation with default settings can leave management interfaces exposed, storage paths unbalanced and virtual networks poorly segmented. These problems are much harder to fix once production virtual machines are running. Our engineers install hypervisors carefully, following vendor guidance and your network and security requirements.
We verify hardware compatibility, update firmware and install the hypervisor on suitable boot media. Management, VM, storage and migration traffic are separated using VLANs and virtual switches. Shared storage is connected with multipathing, time synchronisation and logging are configured and management access is restricted. Hosts are added to clusters where applicable, tested and documented before handover.
What's included
- Hardware compatibility verification
- Hypervisor installation on supported boot media
- Virtual switching and VLAN segmentation
- Shared storage connectivity with multipathing
- Management access hardening and logging
- Cluster join, testing and host documentation
Outcomes
What changes
for your business.
Ideal for
- New virtualisation host deployments
- Organisations trialling Proxmox or Hyper-V
- Labs and test environments needing proper setup
Solid platform foundation
Hosts are installed to vendor guidance, reducing instability and support issues later on.
Segmented traffic
Separating management, storage and VM networks improves both security and performance of your environment.
Ready for workloads
Tested, documented hosts can accept virtual machines immediately without further configuration work.

FAQ
Common
questions.
Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.
Which hypervisor should we install?
That depends on existing skills, licensing, required features and budget. If you have not decided, our server virtualisation service compares options in detail. If you already know, we install it directly and can advise on edition choices along the way.
Can you add new hosts to an existing cluster?
Yes. We match the new host's version, patch level, networking and storage configuration to the existing cluster, check CPU compatibility for live migration and add it with minimal disruption to running virtual machines.
