What our engineers handle on VMware ESXi
This is the hands-on work, done by a person: the jobs the automatic tools cannot do for you.
- 1Patch ESXi hosts one at a time and check the VMs afterwards
- 2Monitor datastores, hardware health and network settings
- 3Control snapshots and set up VM backups with tested restores
- 4Plan a migration to Proxmox, KVM or Hyper-V if you choose to move
Problems we fix
Problem
A datastore is almost full
What we do
We find old snapshots and large disks, clean up safely and plan more storage.
Problem
VMs are slow because of a forgotten snapshot
What we do
We consolidate the snapshot chain at a quiet time and set rules so snapshots do not linger.
Problem
A host failed and VMs are down
What we do
We bring the VMs up on another host or repair the host, and review how to avoid a repeat.
Automatic tools, and our team for the rest
RootManage is automatic server management with every tool in one place. The tools run by themselves on a schedule and report to one dashboard. Everything they cannot do, and every emergency, is handled by our engineers by hand.
Automatic
Checked on a schedule we agree
Manual, by our engineers
Everything else, and every emergency
- Hands-on work. Fixes, tuning, migrations, upgrades and the other jobs listed above on this page.
- Emergency work. A hacked site, an outage or a failed update is handled by a person who investigates and fixes it, not by a script.
- Things we do not automate. Anything the tools do not cover is done by hand, over SSH, WHM or RDP, on a login you can remove at any time.
The tools are optional, run on Linux servers and are installed by you with one command each. Every job our team does is recorded as a task in your dashboard with the details, and you get an email when it is updated.
How it works
- 1
Sign up
Create an account, choose a plan and add the server you want managed.
- 2
Give access
We connect over RDP or SSH on a login you create, and you can remove it whenever you like.
- 3
Automatic, with people behind it
An engineer checks the server on the schedule we agree and does the hands-on work. You follow every task in your dashboard.
Questions about VMware ESXi
Do you handle VMware licences?
No. Licences stay with you or your reseller. We work on the hosts you have licensed.
Can you move us off VMware?
Yes. We plan the conversion of machines to the new platform, test them and move in stages.
What does it cost to have VMware ESXi managed?
Managed plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and VMware ESXi is managed as part of the server. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. If a server is already infected, the emergency cleanup is a one-time ₹9,000 job.
