What our clients say
Chris Thompson, Head of Cloud Solutions
"I have worked with the Ascend Cloud Solutions team over the past number of years on multiple VMware HCX migration projects. I always found the team incredibly knowledgeable and diligent when it came to understanding our requirements and data needs.
We migrated around 130 customer and internal servers between two data centres, with no interruption to client workloads, and this was down to the approach and guidance by the Ascend team.
The customer interaction, support and management were outstanding throughout the project, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use the team again on future projects."
