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.
Technology Coverage
VCP4+ • vCF 9.x CertifiedCertifications & Credentials
Our architects hold certifications across every major VMware technology domain. These are not just exam badges - they represent thousands of hours of real-world design and implementation.
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.
How We Engage
Cloud Private & Public Automation
Extend VMware into the cloud and automate everything. Our architects design self-service platforms, Infrastructure as Code pipelines, and multi-cloud architectures that eliminate manual toil and accelerate delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What VMware services does AuthorityGate provide?
We offer the full spectrum of VMware architecture work: environment assessment and design, vSphere upgrade and legacy recovery, storage and network architecture (vSAN, NSX-T, NVMe-oF), hybrid cloud migrations to VMware Cloud on AWS and Azure VMware Solution, private cloud automation with Aria, and Infrastructure as Code pipelines. Engagements are architect-led from initial discovery through post-migration optimization, with no handoffs between teams.
How do you handle vSphere version upgrades and Broadcom licensing changes?
Our architects have held VCP-DCV certification since version 4 and have executed zero-downtime upgrade paths across every major vSphere release from 5.x through 8.x and vCloud Foundation 9.x. On the licensing side, we provide independent analysis of the Broadcom transition from perpetual to subscription-based vCF bundling - evaluating what you actually need versus what is being sold, modeling costs, and building a renewal strategy that protects your budget.
What certifications and experience do your VMware architects hold?
Our architects hold VCP-DCV (version 4 and later), VCP-DTM, and VCAP-DCV Design certifications, and are certified on vCloud Foundation 9.x. Beyond exam credentials, our lead architects previously led VMware's own Professional Services practice and authored the delivery methodology VMware used globally for enterprise engagements - a depth that goes well beyond what certification alone demonstrates.
How does a VMware engagement with AuthorityGate work, and how do we get started?
Every engagement follows three phases: Assess & Design (full environment audit, target-state architecture, and a prioritized remediation roadmap), Build & Migrate (parallel platform build with phased, rollback-capable VM migration), and Optimize & Transfer (performance tuning, runbook creation, and hands-on knowledge transfer so your team is self-sufficient on day one). To get started, schedule an Architecture Review through our contact page and a senior architect will scope the engagement directly with you.
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.
