VMware by Broadcom cloud architects and specialists

VMware by Broadcom cloud architects assess existing estates and design private cloud infrastructure around workload requirements. Bring in architecture expertise when capacity constraints or hardware renewal make the current design unsuitable.

Work can cover vSphere cluster design and VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) architecture, including management and workload domain boundaries. Architects review availability requirements against infrastructure constraints and document sizing assumptions. They also assess hardware compatibility and licensing implications before recommending a target configuration, with commercial entitlements confirmed separately.

vSphere and VCF migration specialists plan and execute infrastructure transitions, from moving virtual machines between clusters to preparing an existing estate for VCF adoption. They assess source configurations and application dependencies before choosing migration methods.

Engineers check interoperability and supported upgrade paths, then prepare migration waves with rollback criteria. Work includes vCenter and ESXi upgrades, with VMware HCX where appropriate for cross-environment workload moves. Application owners agree validation checks and maintenance windows before production changes proceed.

Bring in specialist engineers when networking or storage requires changes beyond routine vSphere administration. Scope can include new configurations and diagnosis of existing infrastructure faults.

• NSX engineers: Configure network segments and distributed firewall policies. Investigate routing or connectivity faults and validate changes against application traffic requirements.
• vSAN engineers: Review storage policies and hardware compatibility. Diagnose latency or capacity issues, then plan remediation with attention to resynchronization activity and available space during maintenance.

VMware infrastructure engineers provide ongoing administration and additional capacity for incident investigation. They trace vCenter or ESXi faults using logs and performance data, then apply corrective changes within your change-control process.

Lifecycle work covers patch planning and upgrade sequencing, with compatibility checks before changes reach production. PowerCLI specialists automate repeatable administration and configuration reporting. Engineers can also review HA and DRS settings, validate backup integration, test restore procedures and update recovery runbooks against agreed recovery objectives.
