Virtualization runs multiple servers on one physical host, which cuts hardware costs and makes servers easier to back up, move, and recover. BlueKey supports all three major platforms and recommends the one that fits your environment.
Hyper-V works well for Windows-centered environments. VMware remains common in established environments. Proxmox is an open-source option with strong features at a lower licensing cost.
Recent VMware licensing changes have many businesses reviewing their options. We can compare costs and features for your environment and plan a migration to Hyper-V or Proxmox if it makes sense.
The same proven process for every server, wherever it runs.
We document your servers, virtualization hosts, applications, and backups, and flag risks such as aging hardware or unsupported operating systems.
Datto RMM watches CPU, memory, disk, services, and uptime 24/7, so problems are caught early.
Scheduled updates, Datto EDR with a 24/7 RocketCyber SOC, and verified backups keep servers secure and recoverable.
We track warranties and operating system end-of-life dates, and budget upgrades or migrations before they become urgent.
