Hyper-V
Management
Full administration of Microsoft Hyper-V hosts and Failover Clusters — Live Migration, SCVMM, Storage Spaces Direct, and Hyper-V Replica — integrated with the Active Directory you already run.
Complete Hyper-V Management
From Failover Clustering to SCVMM fabric management — every layer of your Hyper-V environment, managed end to end.
Hyper-V Host Setup & Failover Clustering
Multi-node Hyper-V clusters built on Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) for automatic recovery.
- ✓ Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC)
- ✓ Cluster quorum & witness configuration
- ✓ Hyper-V role installation & host hardening
- ✓ Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) setup
- ✓ Node draining for maintenance
Live Migration & Storage Migration
Move running VMs between hosts or storage with no perceptible downtime.
- ✓ Live Migration between cluster nodes
- ✓ Storage Migration between volumes
- ✓ Shared-nothing Live Migration
- ✓ Migration network & bandwidth tuning
- ✓ Scheduled host evacuation for patching
System Center Virtual Machine Manager
Centralised fabric management for Hyper-V hosts, clusters, and VM templates via SCVMM.
- ✓ SCVMM fabric & host group configuration
- ✓ VM template & service template design
- ✓ Self-service provisioning portal setup
- ✓ Update Server integration for patching
- ✓ Networking (logical/VM networks) design
VHDX & Checkpoint Management
Disk lifecycle management to keep VM storage lean, fast, and free of checkpoint sprawl.
- ✓ Dynamic vs fixed VHDX sizing strategy
- ✓ Checkpoint (snapshot) hygiene policies
- ✓ Disk compaction & consolidation
- ✓ Shared VHDX for guest clustering
- ✓ Storage QoS policy configuration
Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) & Replica
Hyper-converged, software-defined storage and asynchronous DR replication for Hyper-V.
- ✓ Storage Spaces Direct cluster design
- ✓ Storage tiering (performance/capacity)
- ✓ Hyper-V Replica for DR
- ✓ Replication frequency & recovery point tuning
- ✓ Extended (chained) replication setup
Security & Compliance
Harden Hyper-V hosts and guests against internal and external threats.
- ✓ Shielded VMs & Host Guardian Service
- ✓ Hyper-V host & guest hardening baselines
- ✓ Active Directory-integrated RBAC
- ✓ Audit logging & SIEM integration
- ✓ Compliance posture reporting
Windows Infrastructure, One Identity Model
Hyper-V's biggest advantage is how naturally it fits into an environment you already run on Windows Server and Active Directory. We lean into that instead of fighting it.
Native Windows Integration
Hyper-V is built into Windows Server — if you're already running Active Directory and Windows workloads, Hyper-V often means one less vendor relationship and licensing model to manage.
Tied Into Your AD, Properly
We integrate Hyper-V and SCVMM role-based access with your existing Active Directory groups — the same identity model we already manage for your servers, not a separate silo.
Quorum Designed, Not Defaulted
Cluster quorum and witness configuration determine whether your cluster survives a node or site failure gracefully. We design this deliberately for your topology, not on the installer's defaults.
Licensing Clarity
Hyper-V licensing follows Windows Server licensing you likely already understand — we help you map VM density against Standard vs Datacenter edition costs before you over- or under-license.
The Hyper-V Stack We Work With
How We Onboard & Deliver
Cluster Audit
Host health, quorum configuration, SCVMM fabric, VM inventory, and licence position reviewed.
Optimise & Harden
Quorum witness set correctly, checkpoint hygiene enforced, hardening baselines applied, monitoring deployed.
Active Management
24×7 host monitoring, VM provisioning via SCVMM, patch management, and capacity tracking begins.
Monthly Reports
Cluster utilisation, patch status, Replica health, and licence position reported monthly.
