Freethinking IT SUPPORT

IT Support from Yorkshire and Linconlshire
Tired of Shock VMware Bills? Take Back Control.
Since Broadcom's acquisition of VMware, businesses have faced challenging license cost increases, forced subscription bundles, and the loss of perpetual licenses. If your IT budget has been hit hard and you're dreading your next renewal, or just want to be worry free, you're not alone. Freethought Services have been helping Yorkshire and Lincolnshire businsesses, giving options to escape VMware with cloud and on-prem options.

Stop Overpaying

Cloud and alternitive on premises options offer predictable and affordable cost!

No Compromise

Enjoy the same functionality, speed, reliability and support. Both cloud and on prem virtualisation still deliver it all!

Easy Migration

We plan and execute your migration carefully, so your business keeps running throughout.

Why Choose Freethought Services for your Cloud?

On Premises or Cloud

Moving from VMware is scary. It's been a stable part of your business platform for years. It's just made your IT work for what seems like forever. Deploying a new platform for your business needs expert advice.

Freethought Services becomes your trusted partner in navigating both cloud computing and modern on-prem virtualisation. We take the complexity out of navigating the options, ensuring the right services are in the right places, be that cloud or on a new local virtualisation platform. We do the designing and supporting of robust Proxmox platforms, so your business keeps running smoothly and efficiently.

If on prem is no longer the right place for your services, we help with assessing the cloud services with options from the hyperscalers, such as Azure and AWS or leveraging a more flexible and customer focused cloud from Freethought Internet. We ensure you have complete freedom of choice, but also have the knowledge and empowerment to make the right decisions

Everything You Need to Break Free From VMware

WE TAKE CARE OF EVERY PART OF THE MIGRATION SO YOU CAN FOCUS ON YOUR BUSINESS:

Audit what you have

We audit your VMware estate so you understand the full scope, and the real cost, before a single VM is touched.

Your Network Stays Intact

We migrate your VLANs, virtual switches, and network policies so everything keeps working exactly as it did before. Users won't notice a thing.

Enterprise Performance

All the features such as High Availability, Backups and Network Flexibility you come to expect to keep you running.

We Don't Just Leave You To It

Once you're live, we're still here. Our ongoing support keeps your cloud environment healthy so you can stop worrying about your infrastructure.

Your Data Moves Safely

Your VMs, storage volumes, and data are migrated intact - no data loss, no corruption, and no nasty surprises on the other side.

Never Another Shock Licence Bill

Predictable ongoing licensing, support costs, plus flexible hardware options make the move the simple way to keep your business safe.
