Technologies we deliver and support
What we deliver

Five platform areas, one integration partner

We design, deploy and run proven platforms for virtualisation, Kubernetes, databases, test data and SAP operations, and support them after go-live.

Virtuozzo

A VMware alternative for private cloud

Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure combines KVM virtualisation, OpenStack orchestration, software-defined storage and Kubernetes in one platform on your own hardware.

  • VMware to Virtuozzo migration
  • Private and hybrid cloud
  • Block, file and S3 storage

vCluster by LoftLabs

Virtual Kubernetes clusters

Each team gets a full Kubernetes cluster with its own API server, running inside one shared host cluster. New clusters start in seconds instead of days.

  • Kubernetes multi-tenancy
  • Sleep mode for idle environments
  • Self-service developer platforms

MariaDB Enterprise

Enterprise database platform

A drop-in replacement for MySQL with enterprise support, high availability and native vector search for AI applications.

  • MySQL to MariaDB migration
  • High availability with MaxScale and Galera
  • Vector search for AI workloads

Delphix by Perforce

Test data management and masking

Delphix finds and masks personal data, then delivers compliant virtual copies of production databases to development, testing and analytics.

  • Test data for CI/CD pipelines
  • Data masking for GDPR compliance
  • Fast recovery after ransomware

BlueCopy by Empirius

Automated SAP system copies

End-to-end automation of SAP system copies, from checks to post-processing, with no agents on SAP systems. Copies take hours instead of days.

Proven results

What these platforms deliver in production

195 VMs → 1

Kubernetes consolidated from nearly 200 virtual machines onto a single bare-metal cluster, bringing VMware licence cost to zero.

Why CE Core

Lower infrastructure cost without adding risk

Architecture before products

We assess your estate first and recommend a platform only where it fits your workloads, skills and budget.

Migration without disruption

Phased plans, test runs on cloned environments and a rollback path for every cut-over.

Measurable savings

Every proposal states the cost today, the cost after migration and how we will measure the difference.

One team after go-live

The engineers who design and migrate your platform also support it, so knowledge is not lost at hand-over.

How we work

From assessment to operations in four steps

  1. 01

    Assess

    We review your current platforms, licences, workloads and costs, and identify the quickest savings.

  2. 02

    Design

    You receive a target architecture, migration plan, risk register and a fixed quote.

  3. 03

    Migrate

    We build, test and cut over in phases, with rollback at every stage.

  4. 04

    Operate

    Monitoring, updates and support keep the platform healthy and costs under control.

FAQ

Common questions

Can't find your answer? Ask us directly.

What does an enterprise systems integrator do?

We take responsibility for bringing a platform into your environment: assessment, architecture, installation, migration of workloads and data, integration with your existing systems, and support afterwards.

Can you migrate an existing VMware estate?

Yes. We inventory your virtual machines, plan the migration in phases and move workloads to Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure with tested rollback for each phase.

Do we have to replace everything at once?

No. Most projects start with one platform or one environment, such as development and test, and expand once the results are proven.

Do you support platforms after go-live?

Yes. We offer ongoing support and operations for every platform we deliver. Scope and response times are agreed in your support contract.

How quickly do you respond to enquiries?

We reply to every new enquiry within 24 hours.
