Independent infrastructure consulting in Amsterdam — specialist in VMware-to-Nutanix migration, backed by two decades of hands-on work in Active Directory, Windows Server, and virtual desktop environments.
The licensing model changed, the bundles got bigger, and the audits got more frequent. If you're staring down a renewal or the 2027 deadline, the question isn't whether to look at alternatives — it's how to move without breaking production. That's the whole job.
Most migration fear isn't about cost — it's about the cutover going wrong. I plan around your production reality: workload dependencies, storage, networking, backup and DR integration, and the applications that quietly assume vSphere is there.
You get a senior specialist who has spent two decades being calm and methodical in high-stakes environments where mistakes aren't an option. No handoff to a junior team — the person who assesses your environment is the person who migrates it.
A migration is only as good as the environment it lands on. Two decades of directory, server, and end-user computing work means I don't just move your workloads — I make sure what they run on is clean, secure, and built to last.
Design, cleanup, and hardening of Active Directory — from tangled legacy domains to a healthy, secure directory. Trust relationships, replication, and the groundwork for reliable authentication across your estate.
Upgrades and migrations off end-of-life Windows Server, role consolidation, and a server estate that's patched, documented, and understood — not a black box nobody wants to touch.
Group Policy that's deliberate rather than accumulated — untangling years of conflicting settings into a clear, auditable configuration that does what you actually intend.
VDI design and troubleshooting for organizations that need reliable, performant desktops — including environments transitioning between hypervisors as part of a broader migration.
Not sure whether to move, or what it would actually take? Start with a bounded, fixed-fee assessment. No open-ended commitment — a clear picture of where you stand and what your options cost.
A structured review of your VMware environment and a straight answer on the path forward — delivered as a report you own, whether or not you go further with me.
I also take on VMware-to-Nutanix migration work on a subcontract basis for MSPs and partners who need experienced hands for delivery. Clean execution, clear communication, and no competing for your client relationship.
Start with a conversation. No pressure, no jargon — just a clear read on where you stand and what your options are.
