Vendor migrations in Nottingham —
VMware, Cisco, on-prem to cloud, done safely.
Servnet runs parallel-run vendor migrations for Nottingham businesses facing Broadcom-era VMware pricing, Cisco end-of-life, on-prem to cloud consolidation. Discovery → pilot → migration waves → decommission. Nottingham cutovers happen Friday-evening to Sunday so Monday open is clean across Boots, Experian, Capital One, E.ON, NHS NN and BioCity estates.
Why Nottingham is in the middle of every current migration cycle
Nottingham concentrates firms feeling current migration triggers — VMware Broadcom on corporate-HQ and NHS NN estates, Cisco EOL across multi-site Notts council networks, NHS NN cloud-shift, corporate-HQ cloud-native modernisation.
VMware → Nutanix for Nottingham regulated estates
Broadcom's pricing is forcing the question on NHS NN trusts and BioCity life sciences. VMware → Nutanix AHV most common destination.
Corporate-HQ on-prem → cloud at scale
Boots, Experian, Capital One UK, E.ON UK corporate HQ infrastructure increasingly moving from on-prem to AWS / Azure — large-volume cloud migrations.
Cisco → Fortinet for Notts CC + multi-site
Nottingham multi-site customers (Notts CC, 6 districts, multi-branch retail, multi-site corporate) consolidating ageing Cisco onto Fortinet.
BioCity tenant cloud-shift
BioCity life sciences tenants shifting from on-prem to validated cloud environments (AWS / Azure with GxP-aware controls).

Nottingham vendor migrations — common questions
We're a Nottingham firm with 200 VMs on vSphere — Broadcom has tripled. What's right?
For most Nottingham firms with that footprint, Nutanix AHV or vSAN ESA. Model 3-year TCO including migration cost.
Can you migrate Boots / Experian / Capital One / E.ON-scale corporate-HQ infrastructure to cloud?
Yes — frequent engagement for Nottingham corporate-HQ customers. Cloud migration at scale, regulatory-aware documentation, parallel-run with rollback throughout.
Can you migrate an NHS NN trust to Azure without HSCN breakage?
Yes — frequent NHS engagement. We retain HSCN connectivity throughout the migration.
How do you handle GxP-validated cloud migration for BioCity tenants?
For BioCity tenants moving to cloud, target environment design supports GxP / GMP requirements, MHRA-aware change documentation, validated-environment integration.
Can you do Cisco → Fortinet across Notts CC + 6 districts?
In most cases yes — install Fortinet in parallel, migrate sites one at a time.
How long does 200-VM VMware → Nutanix take in Nottingham?
Discovery → final-VM-on-new-platform is typically 10–14 weeks.
