WEI works across multiple HCI and dHCI partners, including Nutanix as a Premier Reseller, to design, deploy, and support the platform that fits. As a Broadcom Advantage Pinnacle Partner, WEI also brings validated expertise to VMware Cloud Foundation deployments and vSphere/vSAN modernization. WEI also designs private cloud solutions using HPE infrastructure, giving customers flexibility across leading compute and storage platforms rather than a single technology path.
See the fundamentals in The Benefits of Hyperconverged Infrastructure. Every engagement starts with the same question: What does the environment need to support today, and three years from now?
The hypervisor landscape has genuinely widened. With that, WEI also brings HPE Morpheus VM Essentials into that evaluation for organizations looking for a lighter-weight, cost-conscious KVM-based alternative. We also cater to OpenShift Virtualization for environments already standardized on Red Hat’s Kubernetes platform that want to run VMs and containers side-by-side without a separate hypervisor stack. Neither replaces the core recommendation process. It just means more of the market’s real options are on the table before a decision gets made.
Hybrid cloud changes where workloads run, but it doesn’t automatically eliminate infrastructure challenges, and the data center capacity underneath still needs to be right-sized, or it just gets more expensive to run at partial utilization. WEI’s infrastructure architects assess what’s being used, then build a consolidation plan that cuts footprint without breaking anything in the process. Background on the underlying software-defined approach is available in our 10 Composable Infrastructure Benefits article. Consolidation projects are usually sequenced around what can move without disrupting production first, saving anything with tight dependencies or compliance constraints for a later, better-planned phase.
The path from an aging environment to a strengthened one generally follows the same shape, whatever the starting platform. Most projects move in phases, starting with workloads that carry the least risk and leaving anything with tight dependencies or compliance requirements for a later, better-planned stage, rather than migrating everything at once:
Some infrastructure projects also include colocation for when expanding or maintaining an on-premises data center is no longer the best long-term option. That decision has gotten harder to make. For example, colocation vacancy across North America has fallen to roughly 1%, and most new capacity is pre-leased before it’s even built, which means the real question isn’t whether a provider has space, it’s whether they can deliver committed power on a confirmed date rather than a pipeline projection. Comparing providers is its own problem too, since power commitments, overage terms, and bundled services rarely get quoted the same way twice.
For organizations navigating that, WEI’s colocation team evaluates providers and facilities against availability, cost, and growth needs, and normalizes proposals so they’re comparable, usually as part of a broader consolidation project rather than a standalone engagement.
Physical infrastructure services, including cable cleanup, structured cabling, and rack-and-stack work, are incorporated into these projects where needed to support long-term reliability and easier maintenance, coordinated through WEI’s Field Services network for organizations that require on-site work across multiple locations.
