Why Enterprises Trust Our
Virtualisation Engineers
Virtualisation is not just about running multiple VMs – it's about consolidation planning, high availability, live migration, and seamless P2V migration. We deliver virtualisation that reduces costs, improves resilience, and enables agility.
Consolidation Planning by Design
We calculate optimal VM density, CPU/RAM allocation, and storage IOPS before any hardware is provisioned.
Platform‑Neutral
We deploy VMware, Hyper‑V, or Proxmox – we recommend the right hypervisor, not a forced brand.
Zero‑Downtime Migration
P2V and V2V migrations with live migration (vMotion) and minimal service interruption.
Full Documentation
VM inventory, resource allocation, HA policies, and backup schedules – all delivered at handover.
AMC with VM Health Checks
Proactive VM health monitoring, resource rebalancing, and 12×6 break‑fix support.
GPU‑Ready for AI/ML
vGPU and GPU passthrough configuration for AI/ML, CAD, and graphics workloads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about virtual machines and virtualisation.
What is a hypervisor and how does it work?+
A hypervisor is software that creates and runs virtual machines (VMs). It abstracts physical hardware – CPU, memory, storage, and networking – and allocates resources to multiple VMs running on the same physical server. Types: Type 1 (bare‑metal) runs directly on hardware – VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper‑V, Proxmox VE; Type 2 runs on an operating system – Oracle VirtualBox, VMware Workstation.
How many VMs can one physical server support?+
VM density depends on CPU cores, RAM, storage IOPS, and workload characteristics. Typical consolidation ratios: 5‑15 VMs per physical host for general workloads, 20‑50 for lightweight web/app servers, and 2‑5 for heavy database VMs. Layerix performs capacity planning to determine optimal VM density for your environment.
What is VMware vSphere vs Hyper‑V vs Proxmox – which one to choose?+
VMware vSphere is the enterprise standard with broad ecosystem support, advanced features (vMotion, DRS, HA), and mature management. Hyper‑V is cost‑effective (included with Windows Server), with strong integration for Microsoft workloads. Proxmox VE is open‑source, cost‑, with KVM and LXC container support – ideal for Linux‑shops and cost‑sensitive environments. Layerix recommends based on your environment, budget, and team skills.
What is P2V migration and how does it work?+
P2V (Physical‑to‑Virtual) migration converts a physical server into a virtual machine. The process involves: 1) assessing the physical server, 2) using tools like VMware vCenter Converter, Microsoft MAP, or StarWind V2V Converter, 3) performing a live or offline migration with minimal downtime. Layerix handles P2V with zero‑ or minimal‑downtime migrations.
What is vMotion and how does it enable zero‑downtime maintenance?+
vMotion is VMware's live migration feature – it moves a running VM from one physical host to another with zero downtime, zero user impact, and zero service interruption. This enables maintenance, load balancing, and hardware upgrades without disrupting applications. Hyper‑V calls it Live Migration, Proxmox calls it Live Migration with shared storage.
Can virtual machines use GPU for AI/ML workloads?+
Yes. VMware supports vGPU (virtual GPU) with NVIDIA GRID or AMD MxGPU – allowing VMs to access physical GPUs for AI/ML, CAD, and graphics workloads. Hyper‑V supports GPU passthrough (Discrete Device Assignment) and GPU partitioning. Proxmox supports GPU passthrough and PCIe passthrough. Layerix configures GPU virtualisation for AI/ML and rendering workloads.
