VMware Solutions
From ongoing support to migrating to the Cloud - our VMware services have got you covered!
Comprehensive VMware Support Offerings
Finding affordable VMware support options that also meet your service-level requirements is not easy!
Broadcom upended the market when they discontinued their perpetual licenses and exponentially increased licensing costs for VMware. On top of that, the end-user support customers require to properly manage the platform disappeared – leaving many users to struggle on their own to remediate issues. If you’re running legacy VMware versions, you’re almost completely on your own to navigate issues and remediation.
Park Place Technologies is an experienced VMware solution provider that has extensive experience supporting virtual environments, accessing VMware ecosystems, and when necessary – helping organizations migrate off their current environment.
Let’s walk through several infrastructure optimization options that are available.

Park Place allows you to concentrate on your larger priorities, while our team manages the day-to-day support of your virtual VMware environment.

Vulnerability Assessment Service
Along with our Software Technical Support to deliver fast, responsive remediation guidance, we offer a Vulnerability Assessment Service focused to help legacy versioned VMware users monitor, identify, and take action on to secure their environment.
We proactively scan, identify, and prioritize VMware vulnerabilities based on real risk, leveraging proven configuration standards. Our approach is grounded in system hardening, not just patching, because long-term security requires reducing attack surface, even when patches don’t exist.
We develop clear remediation roadmaps for currently supported software and for older software revs that are no longer supported. Our assessment includes:
- Onboarding + scan deployment, including cadence setup
- Baseline assessment + executive briefing with top priorities
- Recurring read-only scans to track and validate improvements
- Scheduled, automated reports (executive + technical views)
- Risk-prioritized action plans with clear next steps
- Standards-mapped hardening guidance (CIS / DISA STIGs) for audit readiness
- vSphere 6.7 to current
- ESXi host hardening
- vCenter security
- Virtual machine isolation
- Core Configuration (vCenter and ESXi hosts)
- Virtual Machine Settings
- Network Configuration
- Logging and Auditing
- Datastore MetaData
- Authentication & Security Policies
- Cluster Configuration
VMware Infrastructure Assessment Service
If you’re ready to explore optimizing your VMware infrastructure and could use some help evaluating the pros and cons of remaining on-prem, creating a hybrid-cloud environment, or migrating completely to the public cloud – we can strategically partner with you to guide you each step of the way. We can even help you migrate off VMware if necessary.
This is where our Infrastructure Assessment offering comes in.
Before committing to an upgrade or migration, you need a clear picture of where you stand and where you're headed. Park Place Technologies' Infrastructure Assessment Service provides a thorough, technology-agnostic analysis that removes guesswork and sets the foundation for a successful transition. We also ensure you have future flexibility to scale and adapt as technology advances.
What we deliver:
-
1.
- A current state analysis covering your existing VMware infrastructure, licensing, operational workflows, and security posture
-
2.
- A map of your new and existing requirements to build solution recommendations
-
3.
- Financial projections, risk mitigation strategies, and operational impact comparisons
-
4.
