Give your team the protection of an experienced engineering partner across day-to-day operations, resilience and transition planning. VLDB's managed service brings the agreed responsibilities together under one monthly fee, with clear ownership, service coverage, response targets and reporting.
We work alongside your internal IT team and existing suppliers to identify issues, coordinate action and support the infrastructure your business relies on.
Operational management, troubleshooting and controlled changes across your ESXi hosts, vCenter and agreed VMware components.
Platform health monitoring, capacity reviews and performance analysis to identify emerging issues and prioritise improvements.
Reviews of access controls, configuration, management network exposure and patch status, supported by remediation recommendations and practical risk reduction measures.
Review backup coverage and recovery procedures, coordinate restore testing and identify gaps affecting critical workloads.
Assess host, storage and network dependencies, support fault diagnosis and coordinate with hardware, backup and other infrastructure suppliers.
Regular service reviews, a maintained risk register, clear escalation procedures and a roadmap for upgrading or migrating your estate.
A complete service around your agreed environment, with responsibilities and commercial terms defined from the outset.
Before deciding what to maintain, upgrade or replace, understand what you have and where the risks sit. VLDB offers an independent assessment of your VMware Cloud Foundation and underlying vSphere estate, covering:
An executive summary, a documented estate baseline and a prioritised risk register, together with recommendations for immediate improvements and a phased transition roadmap.
Available as a standalone engagement or as the starting point for our managed service.
VLDB is a Broadcom partner, with experience delivering VMware estate assessments, security reviews and infrastructure support for enterprise clients.
We combine infrastructure engineering with database and data platform expertise, helping you understand the impact of platform changes on the applications and services your business depends on.
Our team can supplement your existing capability or take responsibility for an agreed managed service scope.
Establish your platform baseline, identify security and operational risks, and agree the priorities for action.
Put a managed service around the existing environment, with defined responsibilities, monitoring, engineering support and regular reviews.
Plan and deliver a controlled move to VCF 9 or another agreed platform, including compatibility checks, testing, migration stages and rollback procedures.
Our managed service is priced around the size and complexity of your estate, the required coverage and the responsibilities you want VLDB to own.
Following an assessment, we provide a proposal setting out:
One agreed service. Clear accountability. Predictable monthly costs.
Yes. Following an assessment, VLDB can provide operational management and engineering assistance for agreed components. We confirm lifecycle status, available entitlements and support limitations as part of onboarding.
Our service provides operational and engineering support. It does not extend Broadcom's product lifecycle or create new vendor patches. Software access, fixes and vendor escalation remain subject to product status and your entitlements.
It means bringing the agreed platform management, monitoring, incident response, security reviews, recovery assurance and supplier coordination into one managed service. The assessment and proposal define the coverage and any remaining risks.
Yes. We can provide additional expertise, manage agreed platform responsibilities and coordinate with your existing suppliers.
We can help you assess VCF 9 or an alternative platform against your workloads, infrastructure requirements and commercial priorities.
